Throughout our over 30 years of experience, Caledon Log Homes has concentrated
on quality building methods directed at maintaining long-term structural integrity and beauty.
Here are some of the construction methods that have helped build our reputation ...
Saddlenotch CornersOur computerized notching machine cuts the interlocking saddlenotch corners to exact tolerances, providing:
- precision fit
- ease of assembly
- weather-tightness
Log Drip Edge
Each row of logs features a unique drip edge that allows rain to flow freely down the outside of the wall, stopping the
water from becoming trapped between the logs where it could eventually cause deterioration.
Low Log Profile
By employing a log profile that is thicker than it is high, we can control natural checking (cracking) and shrinkage.
Double-Tongue & Groove Joints
Double-tongue and groove joints with expanding foam gasketing provide superior strength and a weather-tight fit.
Window and Door Installation
Windows, doors and trim are set back into the log walls so rain or snow cannot penetrate in behind the trims.
This installation method eliminates potential water damage to the units and the log walls around them.
Three-foot Roof Overhangs
Large roof overhangs provide shade from the hot summer sun and protect the log walls from all types of weather.
In the winter months the sun is low in the sky; the sun's rays can then reach under the eaves, providing valuable warmth and light.
Quality Materials
Our Standard Material Package includes all materials necessary to complete the weather-tight construction of the log home
from sub-floor to roof, including windows and doors, interior stud partitions, and 25 year warranty shingles.
