Concrete Logs Look Like Real Wood

Concrete Logs Look Like Real Wood BUILDINGS Houses Ever dream of living in a log home without worrying about maintenance log shrinkage or insect damage? EverLogs™ are made of concrete but until you’re close enough to touch them you’d swear they’re the real thing “EverLogs have the look and feel of real wood right down to the grain knots and growth rings that appear on interior and exterior surfaces ” says EverLog president Stewart Hansen “The façade is actually concrete that’s bonded to panels of insulation reinforcing metal and other layers of concrete Homes or commercial buildings are made by stacking the panels and joining them with mortar Exteriors have the distinct feel of fresh-cut logs Interiors can have the same finish or be covered with wallboard Hansen says another key benefit is that EverLog structures are fireproof which means peace of mind and lower insurance costs for owners The company produces logs in its Missoula Mont plant and ships them to customers across the country The logs are cast in place to precise lengths and homes are built with attractive construction techniques such as butt and pass posted saddle notches or dovetail notches “There are really no restrictions on the designs we can build and the look we can achieve ” says Hansen “We can deliver a rustic cabin a massive post and beam look even a contemporary design Standard windows roofing plumbing heating and cooling round out the construction process with EverLog homes The company also produces EverLog™ Siding for use in renovations and new construction The siding panels range from 12 to 16 in high depending on the profile selected Pre-finished exteriors replicate the exact character texture and warm appeal of handcrafted wood logs The siding uses a proprietary glass fiber reinforced concrete mix that produces high-strength yet light weight panels that won’t burn warp twist shrink or settle Greg McCue of Missoula says he evaluated different concrete siding products and found that the look feel and quality of the EverLog was the best He used it on several customer’s homes and was so impressed that he used it on his own cabin Craig Brewerton of Idaho says the inspiration for his EverLog home was the Sun Valley Ski Lodge and he’s very pleased with how his home turned out “My wife and I love to fly fish and constantly maintaining a cabin would cut into our fishing time We don’t have to worry about that with an EverLog home because it doesn’t require any maintenance ” In Ennis Mont Dan Larson the managing partner of Madison Valley Ranch says EverLogs used on their new lodge provide the look of real logs without the hassles or ongoing expense and maintenance of real logs They’re also more energy efficient and look great ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Everlog Systems P O Box 16537 Missoula Mont 59808 ph 877 257-5647 or 406 542-7455; www everlogs com
