Log Home Technology To Keep You Warm and Dry

Log home builders and owners have traditionally struggled with the effects time and weather can have on timber.  The natural shrinking of logs and the levelling of a log structure over time can cause significant gaps between the logs letting costly warm air out and uncomfortable cold air in.  Typically inferior joinery systems are difficult to install and simply don't tend to stand up to this test of time. Homeowners are invariably forced to spend more time and money caulking and chinking their log walls to keep mother nature outside where she belongs.

To combat these troublesome issues, True North Log Homes, recently developed a unique log lock compression system engineered to actually seal homes tighter with time by allowing the log lock to only go in one direction, DOWN, on specially designed threaded rods.  Another advantage of this patent-pending technology is its ease of installation - only a couple of hours vs. a couple of days with most competitive log joinery solutions.
