2. What do Cultured
Logs™ cost?
Our wall package price is comparable to quality
handcrafted wood logs.
CLS wall package prices generally range between
$70 - $80 per square foot of floor space. Price will
vary based on factors like: size of the home; wall
heights; design features of the home (gables, dormers,
etc); unique design features, location, and the like.

4.
What is the R-Value of Cultured Logs™?
Cultured Logs™ perform at an R-19 value. Furthermore,
we recently had a “blower door” test
conducted on our structures by The National Center
for Appropriate Technology. Blower door tests measure
the air tightness and infiltration heat loss of
any given structure. This test concluded that our
structures (when properly constructed) are six
(6) times as air tight as framed structures and
seven (7) times are air tight as a comparable wood
log homes.

5. What is your service area?
We service the entire United States and International
Markets.
6.
What do Cultured Logs™ weigh?
When stacked Cultured Logs™ form a structural
wall system and weigh about 100 lbs. per lineal
foot. Because we include erection in our wall package
price you never have to worry about picking one
up!
7. Do you have a log texture for the interior walls?
No, our logs are intentionally designed with a flat
interior surface. Architects, designers, builders,
homeowners constantly tell us they prefer (or at
least want the flexibility) for something other than
a log interior finish.
Providing a flat interior surface allows for the
flexibility to finish the interior with timber frame,
post and beam, log accent, sheet rock, or other interior
finishes.
8. How are doors and windows openings handled?
Our door and window openings are engineered directly
into the wall system and precise to the manufactures
specifications, no need for on-site modifications.
9. How do you run plumbing and electrical?
Our interior walls are typically furred or framed
out using 2x2s, 2x4s, or 2x6s on edge. Spacing between
the furring or framing allows for room to run electrical
and plumbing.
10. What colors are available?
Cultured Logs™ are available in just about
any natural wood color. See our Photo Gallery
section for samples.
11. How long does it take to get the log package?
Once plans have been completed and signed off
our delivery cycle (production, transportation,
and erection) is typically 60 – 90 days.
This time can vary based on time of year, demand,
and other factors so please check with one of our
Project Managers for details.
