EZ Log Structures can be assembled without skilled trades—only basic construction knowledge is needed.  All our models meet Each precut and numbered component stacks in order, eliminating the need for cutting. Foundation dimensions are provided in advance, allowing preparation for a concrete slab, crawl space, post & beam, or basement with wood subfloor—just like conventional builds. Once delivered, assembly can begin immediately.

After assembly, you can install kitchen cabinets, plumbing, light fixtures, electrical, flooring, and finish interior walls right away—no drywall or plasterboard delays. Exterior 2×6 studs are added for wiring, insulation, and finishing. We offer three types of siding options (wood D-log, wood semi D-log and extruded PVC siding) but vinyl, hardboard, cement board, stucco, or brick are also compatible. The finished home suits both rural and urban settings, with a conventional exterior and a natural wood interior ready for paint or stain.

Note:  Wall insulation may not be required for seasonal buildings or excemptions in local building codes. However, insulating the roof and floor (especially with crawl spaces) is still recommended.

 

INSULATING WALLS – SUPERIOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Insulating the exterior is the most efficient method. The main structure is protected from the elements keeping the wood preserved indefinitely. The main building has 2-3/4″ thick solid wood walls that provide an R-value of 4.4. This solid wood wall has virtually no heat or cold transfer, increasing the overall thermal and comfort benefits. Wall R-value is gained from applying studs, insulation and exterior siding

(vapor barrier & house wrap may be required based on local building codes)

(WALL LOG) R 4.4 + ( FIBERGLASS INSULATION) R 20 = R 24.4

 

 

 

 

 

Our optional insulating/siding kits come with 2×6 studs spaced for 24″ on center. This allows for more insulation to increase total R-values. Any insulation can be used, fiberglass, mineral wool, rigid board insulation or spray foam. Vapor barriers and house wraps may be required based on the local building codes.

Mineral wool  insulation is recommended for its superior qualities. It’s impervious to moisture with a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass, reduces noise levels & is environmentally friendly

(WALL LOG) R 4.4 + ( MINERAL WOOL INSULATION) R 23  = R 27.4 

                       

 

 

INSULATING ROOFS

Rafters are applied to the exterior, over the tongue & groove roof boards. The build up depth is determined by the R-value required to meet local building codes and the type of insulation used. High density spray foam provides the highest R-value for thickness & is water proof. Rigid, mineral wool or fiberglass insulation can be used
