Why Cheap Log Cabins Are Gaining Popularity
With the number of people in this world growing rapidly, more dwelling places such as houses, apartments, and condominiums need to be built. The increase of the number of houses has caused what is called an urban sprawl, a phenomenon wherein the housing section of a city uncontrollably spreads out to rural land. Urban sprawl is often associated withincreased pollution, noise, environmental degradation, and culture-bias issues.
To escape the hassles of urban life, many people venture into the outdoors where they can be one with nature. People who are amazed at the beautiful scenery, utter isolation, freedom from urban living, and the charm of the wilderness make a choice to settle down in untamed land. And for their abode, most opt to live in expensive or timber log cabins.
Having been around for thousands of years, log cabins are some of the planet’s oldest, most sustainable and most dependable homes. With more people trying to escape city life, they are back in popular demand. Here are some reasons you should consider a log cabin.
1. Log homes are erected with good craftsmanship, high standards, and customised touches. Thus, a log home’s appraisal value is generally higher than standard homes of the same size.
2. The rustic and classical appearance of a log home wins hearts. Its curb appeal can increase value and grow your investment significantly. Actually, many people are willing to pay a large premium to own a log home.
3. Unlike conventional homes which are made up of light steel frames covered with flimsy drywall and insulation, log homes are made of solid, sturdy wood. They can bear the harshest elements of nature. Therefore, it is not surprising that in Europe, there are still fully functional and occupied log homes that are around 80 decades old!
4. The density of solid wood used in a log cabin’s construction blocks or deflect sound waves. Finally, you can relax in peace and quiet.
5. Either expensive or cheap log cabins have better insulation than newer drywall homes. Wood exhibits excellent thermal mass, meaning, the wooden walls help keep temperatures inside the structure constant and at a comfortable level. If you want to save on heating bills, then residing in a log home is the perfect solution. Seal your cabin properly and you can save 15 to 20 percent of your heating and cooling bills.
6. Log cabins are easy to maintain. Periodically treating the logs with flame retardant and anti-termite treatment as well as regularly cleaning them are probably the only things you have to do to maintain your home. If you see problems or onsets of structural problems, you can call a professional to make the repairs.
