products
Concrete log siding is a patented system that reproduces to the most minute detail, the look and feel of antique hand hewed logs with dovetailed corners and accessories, and the strength and durability of long lasting concrete.
Homes can be built having the beauty and charm of an antique log home while eliminating the time and expense required to maintain real wood logs or wood log siding. Smart Logs may be used on new frame construction or can be applied to existing structures of any size built with wood, wooden logs, brick, concrete, and concrete block.
Our concrete logs are approximately 2″ thick and approximately 10″wide. Smart logs come in random lengths of 6, 7, and 8 feet, reinforced with steel for crack resistance and light enough that 2 people can handle and install.
Smart Logs of the Carolinas offer many different products to help create an authentic looking concrete log home, including:
Antique Lumber Planks
Window and Door Trim
Accent blocks
Dovetail Corner Logs
our process
Typical Wood Framing Procedure
1.
Constructed according to local building codes, the builder will typically install ½” to 5/8” exterior-grade plywood sheathing.
2.
All walls are then wrapped with a weather-resistant barrier, such as Tyvek®.
3.
At this point, our installation crews add an expanded wire mesh and attach the concrete log siding.
4.
Stain is then applied to the concrete log siding, and all joints are filled with mortar.
WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!
We’re more than pleased – we’re ecstatic over our new home. With Smart Logs of the Carolinas we were able to build our dream home with no impact on our forest and without the expensive maintenance of wood. Our home is naturally fire resistant, will not warp, settle, or rot and is less expensive to insure than traditional wood log homes.
