Pre-Cut Logs
When you compare log home companies and the log home packages which they provide, log joinery systems and log precutting should be two of your primary considerations. At LOK-N-LOGS we have refined and perfected the time-honored tongue and groove log building system so that you can build your LOK-N-LOGS home with complete confidence. Our sealing system is second to none and we encourage you to compare it with that of other manufacturers. We’re sure that LOK-N-LOGS stacks up favorably!
Some log home manufacturers do not precut your log components at all, choosing instead to provide a “random length” package which is labor intensive – driving up construction time and costs.
Kiln Dried
Kiln Drying has many benefits for log construction, Lok-N-Logs wall log components are dried to an average 19%. Lok-N-Logs is the only company to kiln dry and sodium borate pressure treat wall logs. Using these processes, we feel Lok-N-Logs is producing the highest quality log homes in the entire log industry.
An additional benefit of kiln dried wall logs is that the overall weight of the log is greatly reduced. This is a big asset to those setting the logs on the job site!
Preasure Treated
PRESSURE-TREATING WITH SODIUM BORATE
All of our log components are pressure-treated with Sodium Borate an EPA-approved, environmentally friendly, odorless and colorless industrial wood preservative. This treatment process provides protection for your log material against decay and wood ingesting insects (except Formosan subterranean termites). Our log material is pressure-treated in Lok-N-Logs own treating facilities so that we can monitor and control the preservative process.
Boron is an integral part of the natural world. As one of the 109 elements that make up the planet, boron is everywhere- in soil, water, plants and animals. Boron combines with oxygen and other elements to form boric acid, or inorganic salts called borates. Borate treated wood is a safe and long-lasting method to protect your home from wood destroying organisms. Borate treated wood has been used successfully for more then fifty years to prevent fungi decay and is deadly to termites, powder post beetles and old house bores- but safe for people, pets and the environment.

Grading
As further evidence of LOK-N-LOGS’ commitment to quality, we are currently grading all of our log material. Our grading operation is periodically reviewed by an independant third-party testing agency, Timber Products Inspection (TPI) of Conyers, Georgia.
What does this mean to you, the log home consumer?
Simply that you do not have to take our word, or even that of our customers, regarding the quality of our log home packages – our logs have met the strict standards of the American Society for Testing Materials whose policies are also approved by the Congress of American Building Officials. LOK-N-LOGS means precut log home quality that you can bank on.
