Construction Tips
We get a constant stream of suggestions on how to apply our products from people in the field. Sometimes we’re even lucky enough to receive photos that show the application. Here are just a few of them.

| The Objective: Giving a natural chinked look to exterior siding or interior rounded paneling.
Hint: Use a siding or paneling pattern that is not shiplapped. Apply individual courses with a space between them. Apply chinking in the void. The result is a more rustic look and a perfect and very flexible seal.

The Objective: For the extremely energy conscious person, combine the R-value of traditional insulation with the thermal mass of wood.
Hint: Use standard 2x6 construction sandwiched between laminated log cabin siding on the outside and laminated T&G Decking on the inside. You end up with an R19 wall and the thermal mass of a 6x8 log.

The Objective: Making the exposed ends of laminated logs look like finely milled solid timbers.
Hint: You don’t have to hide the wood. Be creative. The extraordinary dryness and stability of laminated logs allow allow you to shape and sand. Lamination lines virtually disappear.
