Logs

If you have never heard of an insulated log before, it is understandable as this is something that we have engineered in the early 2000s.

We have spent 7,000 hours over 3 years working with architects and engineers to receive a stamp and signature issued for construction. To date we have installed 26 cedar yurts and have had engineers stamp and sign in two Provinces for permits (NB and BC).

An insulated log has solid wood on the outside (usually western red cedar) and the same or different species of wood on the inside.

The center is ridged insulation.

White Polystyrene is R 3.5 per inch.

Graphite infused foam is R 5 per inch.

To make 100% sure there would be no wind or water penetration, we made 5 T&G (tongue and groove) in every log for this client.

We make our log size to meet the National building code for the zone the cedar yurt will be built in.

The log has 2 notches at the bottom:

1. The first so it will sit down over the floor so the capillary action of the water cannot egress into the building.
2. The second notch is an electrical chase. Every window section has a duplex receptacle routered into the center log.

The electrician runs his wiring and when he is done one of our carpenters screws on the baseboard.

On our last job (replacing 13 soft wall yurts with our insulated log cedar yurt), we built 3,000 logs.

15 sets of garden doors...

96 single window units...

No job is too big for our team, so if you are reading this and would like a resort of insulated log cedar yurts, give us a call on 1-250-415-9628.
