Q: Do log homes insulate well?
A: Yes. The 'heat loss calculations' that were prepared by a 'structural engineer' (as required by law in most counties in Washington State) show that Skip’s log home insulates nearly 2 ½ times better than a normal wood-frame home.
Q: Do log homes need added insulation?
A: As with any home, you must add insulation to your roof and
to your floor for energy efficiency. The walls do not need added insulation
because logs are usually pretty thick and insulate well on their own. Return to the Log Homes FAQ Return to our home page - Log
