Why is it so important to utilize green building practices?

Overall,  a home that is “green” is not only beneficial to the home owner, but it has substantial benefits to the environment. Of course, a highly energy efficient home will save money on energy bills, but when a home has decreased electricity and energy usage, it’s greatly beneficial to our environment.

What does Timber Block do to support green building efforts?

Each and every Timber Block home is built with R-30 wall insulation. The logs are injected with a high density polyurethane insulation (which is a patented process), before they are stained, stacked, thru bolted and bonded.

While R-30 is standard in every home we build, just this year, Timber Block introduced an R-36 option. The roof is between R-40 and R-50.

Also, a Timber Block wood home has close to 400 percent more insulation than a traditionally built log home. PLUS, we also use about 40 percent of each log to manufacture the home. The remaining is used in other components. The result? Less waste!
