| Linwood - Log Homes :- (Including The Cedar Mill Collection) |
| Linwood Log Homes, are just that . . . homes made from solid logs, shaped and cut to perfectly interlock, providing stunning appearance and immense strength. Many companies offer log homes, with a wide choice of log sizes, shapes and timber species such as Pine, Spruce or Western Red Cedar. |

However, in the UK, due to our building regulations relating to the thermal aspects of a home, using smaller log sizes of any species, usually necessitates that the insides of the log walls must be framed and lined with insulation, thus defeating one of the great features of a log home. |
| If Western Red Cedar is used, due to it’s superior natural thermal benefits over other species, then having to line the internal face with insulation, can usually be avoided. | |

Particularly resistant to rot, Western Red Cedar is the chief wood for shingles and one of the most important for siding, panelling, outdoor-patio construction, and boatbuilding. Indians of the Northwest Coast of North America¹ carved their famous totem poles, and split lumber for their lodges, from this durable softwood. The largest Western Red Cedar measures 21' (6.4 m) in diameter, ranking second only to the Giant Sequoia among native trees; however, this species is not among the tallest. ¹ The Continent Of North America Including USA & Canada. |
