Southland Log Home
Features
WARRANTY
For your peace of mind, every Southland home comes with a limited
lifetime warranty. It's simply the best in the business.
COMPLETE SYSTEM
From the floor to the shingles on the roof, we provide and engineer
everything you need to get your house dry-in.Our roof and floor systems
are designed for structural strength regardless of your building
location.
PRE-CUT LOGS
Every Southland log home is engineered in our mills, not on your job
site. Each log is pre-cut, numbered and notched to save you weeks of
valuable construction time.
KILN DRIED LOGS
The logs for your Southland home will have been placed in a high
temperature dry kiln that removes water and moisture from the logs. This
greatly reduces the opportunity for shrinking and settling.
THICKER WALLS
Southland's round logs are 8" thick, which provides 33% more wood than
most log homes. This not only looks better but also saves money in
meeting the energy code requirements of many states, not to mention
lower utility bills.
GRADED LOGS
Each log is individually graded under the direction of TPI to insure the
quality and integrity of every log.
PRE-CUT LOG BEAM SYSTEM
A real log beam system (24" on center between the first and second
floor) gives your new log home that special touch of beauty and warmth.
TIMBOR TREATED LOGS &
SIDING
All Southland logs and siding are treated with Timbor - a natural borate
solution that provides the highest protection against insects and decay.
LOGHOG FASTNERS
These self-tapping, self-countersinking, engineered metal fasteners come
standard with your house. They are designed with more pulling power and
can save you up to 25% of the log stacking time.
LOG SIDING
Log siding is provided on all Southland log homes to cover the girder
sill plates and the roof dormers. This maintains the log look for you
without having to make special foundation or roof adjustments.
FULL LOG GABLES
Wherever you have heated space we use full logs to maintain the energy
efficiency of your log wall system. We use log siding only in the attic
or by special request.
PORCHES & DECKS
Your Southland log home package comes with full log porch posts and
lintel supports for your roof system. Since we pre-cut, we can offer
this feature to increase the beauty of your home and make it easier to
build. Covered porches and decks include 2"x6" pressure treated framing
and decking material. Unique guardrails and pickets are supplied on all
porches and decks providing safety and a look you won't find anywhere
else.
HEAVY TIMBER ROOF OPTION
If you prefer to create a cathedral ceiling constructed of 4x10 beams,
2x6 SYP T&G decking and foam insulation panels, it can be added as an
upgrade to any area of your house upon request.
HIGHER CEILINGS
Southland's two story homes come with 8'6" high walls as a minimum to
give you full clearance of 8' under the floor beam system where there is
no cathedral ceiling.
EASY ELECTRICAL WIRING
Every Southland log home comes with base logs that are already grooved
for your electrical wiring. This saves much time and labor on your job
site.
WINDOWS
Southland windows come standard with energy efficient, Low-E argon
filled glass sashes, 1x6 pine exterior trim and screens factory
installed. The double hung, tilt-removable sashes make it very easy to
clean and maintain your windows. Aluminum clad upgrades are available
upon request.
DOORS
All Southland entry doors are fiberglass. For your convenience, they
come pre-hung and are factory bored for your own locksets. A unique
wooden rolling French door can also be added to your house saving you
precious interior space while adding beauty and value.
EXTERIOR WOOD
FINISH/CAULKING
Every Southland log home includes the best exterior wood finish to
protect your home and keep it beautiful for years to come. Also standard
is caulking to seal the joints on your home. It readily accepts the
exterior wood finish and has a high degree of elasticity to move with
the seasons. We found a special color - "Southland Tan" to match your
logs.
PINE PANELING
1"x 8" pine paneling option can be added to any house for use in
ceilings or walls.
EFFICIENT PACKAGING
Along with removing water and moisture from your logs to reduce weight,
Southland goes to great lengths to prepare and package the materials for
your house to minimize the number of trucks needed for delivery.
Material labeling makes it very easy to find your material as you are
building your home. |
