Reasons Why Beech Mountain Log Homes is the Best Log Cabin Kit
Pre-Cut Logs.
Every Beech Mountain log cabin kit is precision cut in our mill, not on your job site. Each log is numbered and notched, which can save you weeks of valuable construction time..
Kiln-Dried Logs
Every log in a Beech Mountain log home kit is placed in a high temperature dry kiln, which lowers the water and moisture content from the logs. This greatly reduces the opportunity for shrinking or settling.
Thicker Walls
Beech Mountain logs are up to 12” thick, which provides more wood than most other log cabin kits. This not only looks better, but also saves money on your energy bills..
Pre-Cut Log & Beam Syste
Log & beams spaced 24” on center give your log cabin kit superior structural strength and beautifully highlight the attractive tongue and groove ceiling.
Full Log Gables
Wherever you have heated space we use full logs to maintain the energy efficiency of your log home wall system. We use log siding at the attic level or by special request.
Porches
Your Beech Mountain Log home comes with full log porch posts and lintel supports for your roof system.
Sub-Floor System
Floor joists spaced 16” on center with premium sub-floor materials are standard. Upgrades to floor trusses or engineered joists are also available your log cabin kit.
Roof-System
Roof systems include rafters spaced 16” on center either conventionally framed or roof trusses depending on your log cabin kit design.
Treated Logs and Siding
All Beech Mountain Logs and siding are treated with a natural salt solution, which preserves the wood while giving it lasting protection.
Decorative Timber Roof
Timber beams and tongue & groove decking create spectacular cathedral and sloped ceilings.
Engineered Fastners
Engineered steel fasteners require no pre-drilling or counter sinking. The patented thread pattern gives each fastener more pulling power than other fasteners, and because there is no need to pre-drill, this system can save up to 25% of log stacking time.
Graded Logs
We use only the finest timbers for all log cabin kits. Each log is individually graded under the expert direction of Timber Product Inspection, Inc. to assure that only the highest quality logs for our log homes.
Exterior And Interior Wood Finish
Every Southland log cabin home includes top quality exterior and interior wood finish to protect your home and keep it beautiful for years to come. Our specially formulated Southland caulk matches the finish of the logs.
Easy Electrical Wiring
Every Beech Mountain log cabin kit comes with base logs for each floor that are already grooved for electrical wiring. This saves much time and labor on your job site.
Log Siding
Log siding to cover the girder sill plates and the roof dormers is included in the log home kit. This maintains the log look without having to make special foundation or roof adjustments.
Doors
Timber beams and tongue & groove decking create spectacular cathedral and sloped ceilings.
Windows
Beech Mountains wood windows come standard with exterior vinyl cladding, removable grills, and screens factory installed. These windows are energy efficient with low-E argon filled glass to provide excellent insulation.
Foundation
A Beech Mountain Log cabin kit can be designed for a variety of foundation types, including crawlspace, slab, basement or pilings.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings:
A primary benefit of our green approach is a high level of energy efficiency, and the money saved as a result of reduced heating and cooling costs. The logs used in the construction of our log homes are precision-milled, providing a tighter fit and a more energy-efficient structure. The natural thermal mass of the logs helps to hold the heat in the winter and keep things cooler in the summer. In fact, a study conducted by the Department of Energy showed that a solid wood log home saves 46 percent in heating costs and 24 percent in cooling costs compared to a stick-frame home.
Our Homes materials and designs have been shown to qualify for Energy Star certification. Energy Star is a U.S. government program that certifies homes, building components, and appliances that achieve significant energy savings. Independent testing results confirmed that a Beech Mountain log home can exceed Energy Star rating requirements and receive a five star rating under The Home Energy Rating System.
Log Home Construction
Beech Mountain Log Homes can custom design your dream log home or you can choose from one of our standard as inspiration. Our customized log cabin and log home kits contain only the highest quality materials. The craftsmanship of our precision milled log walls and premium materials sets the standard for the log home industry. Quality and value are the foundation that Beech Mountain Log Homes is built upon, which is why we are America’s Best Log Home.
