This is just one of the log homes you might consider when looking for a new home. Log homes are more popular than ever before, and it's easy to see why. Whether you are looking for a log home for full-time living, or use as a vacation home there are plenty of reasons the home designs are a good option. The following are just a few of the reasons you might consider a log house construction. Promotes an active lifestyle. More often than not, log home designs are built in nature, whether it’s by the lake, in the woods, by the ocean, or in the mountains. As a result, log cabin living helps to encourage a more active lifestyle because of the abundance of outdoor activities that are available in the surrounding areas. Rather than staying inside and watching TV, people who are living in a log home are more likely to get outside and be active while enjoying the beauty of nature.

Air quality. Logs have many air-purifying qualities. The logs that log homes are made of store carbons and control humidity, which results in better air circulation inside the log home design. Additionally, this reduces the need for air filters, dehumidifiers, or purifiers. A log home's solid wood walls trap and release moisture in a regulatory manner, which makes the indoor air healthier to breathe. As a result, living in a log home may improve respiratory health and reduce allergies. Wellness. The natural, cozy ambiance that log homes provide may have a very positive effect on one’s wellness. In itself, logs are very aesthetically pleasing and calming when used in a log house construction. Because of this, living in a log home may reduce anxiety and stress.

Eco-friendly. It’s not surprising that log homes are very eco-friendly. Unlike structures that are made of brick or stone, log homes use renewable building materials and have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. In general, people who live in eco-friendly environments are happier and healthier than people who do not. Natural insulation. The natural insulating properties of logs keep the temperature inside a log house at a pleasing level. This is because of something known as thermal mass. A log house construction will keep the home cooler in the warmer summer months, and warmer in the winter months. No matter the outside temperature, logs have an amazing ability to store heat and keep the internal temperature consistent. Logs have natural insulating properties that make log homes very energy efficient.
