Adding a touch of log and timber frame accents to your home
Many people today are looking for the warm rustic feel that you get from a log home, but don't necessarily want a traditional log house. At Sitka, we have been leading the way in log and timber accent work for the past few years. This style of building is also referred to as "hybrid" log homes. The creative freedom we enjoy doing this specialty work is very rewarding. We offer log and timber frame pieces, often mixing these two styles and crafting them together for breathtaking results. Wood accent pieces can be incorporated into the design of your new home, or they can be added to an existing home to change the entire look. These homes have the warmth and rustic character without the maintenance you expect from a full log home. Log and timber frame pieces can include
structural and/or non-structural log trusses, posts, rafters, floor
joists, log siding, stairs, purlins, structural decks, handrails,
mantles...and the list goes on.
Regular frame homes receive log or timber accents

We can also by-pass the edging to give a more natural tapered look as well, although this would have to be cauked or chinked at the seams. Traditionally log columns of 14 inch diameter are placed at the corners vertically for the siding to butt into. These are 3/4 cut so they can be placed on the corners easily. We refer to these as "pac-man" corners. Contact us for pricing.  |
