With over 30 years of experience perfecting our manufacturing technologies, it's not surprising that Northeastern offers the most water- and air-tight log homes you can buy.
Triple-Seal Weather-Lock™ system for tight, easy assembly
Three individually milled tiers provide a custom fit for a foam gasket, Puttylastic® caulking and a 12-inch spiral spike that securely holds the logs together. A notch milled beneath the drip-edge exterior channels moisture away from the house. This system makes assembly easier and finished homes tighter.
Corner cuts and sealants create an unbroken seal
Foam and caulking continue in an unbroken seal throughout the home along both vertical and horizontal planes. At the corners, pre-cut and compressed foam pads provide additional protection and a solid fit. Exposed log ends are milled flat for a cleaner look and improved water-shedding performance.
Window and door jambs form a solid weather barrier
Specially milled jambs at windows and doors add weather-resistant protection at challenging joints, creating a solid barrier to the outdoors.
Mortise and tenon joinery ensures a tight fit
Logs are secured end-to-end using mortise and tenon joinery. The foam gasket and caulking of our triple-seal system extend into the mortised joint.
Roof design resists wind and water
Roof framing members don't pass through the weather-tight, solid log gables. Generous overhangs further guard against costly water damage. Soffit vents provide the air exchange critical to a long-lasting roof.
Double-roof construction eliminated moisture
To eliminate moisture, the double-roof system creates a "sandwich", enclosing rigid insulation of R-34 (or more), a 1 1/2" air space for built-in ventilation and a sheathing of AdvanTech® topped with shingles.
