Log Homes Council Unveils New Website

Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- The new website includes profiles of all the companies that belong to the Log Homes Council, including photo and video galleries, latest members in the news and more. While hundreds of companies offer log and timber homes in the U.S. and Canada and beyond, less than 60 qualify for membership in the Log Homes Council. What sets these companies apart? They offer peace of mind to consumers. Membership requirements offer safeguards, including:

• Abiding by a strict code of ethics
• Grading their logs and timbers by third party agencies to ensure quality
• Providing construction manuals to ensure homes are built to meet building codes
• Contributing to scientific studies that advance log building technologies
• Offering FREE information to consumers through its website, loghomes.org

“This means when you buy from an Log Homes Council member, it guarantees you are getting the quality materials that will stand the test of time,” says Jan Kopsell, chairman of the Log Homes Council, and president of Expedition Log Homes. “Our new website offers up to date information on how to buy and build your dream log home, as well as white papers and technical reports from experts in the industry.”
