With every new construction of a building you have the environmental factor of waste to consider. In years past contractors have dumped excess materials into local landfills and companies have made no attempt to be eco-conscious during the manufacturing process. The times have changed and companies like Mountain Creations Log & Timber Homes are making the environment a priority.
During the milling process, we make sure that we use each part of the tree as best we can. The production of a log package emits little to no toxins in the air as compared to the manufacturing processes of concrete, brick and conventional homes using pressure treated lumber. Trying to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible, the excess cedar is chipped into mulch and used for landscaping and even fueling machines.
Once the construction process has started, our builders work to minimize waste by perfecting cuts and managing time and materials properly. We can put you in touch with local wood-working artisans, kitchen cabinet makers as well as construction recycling programs in the area to make the most of the materials you may have remaining.
After 25 years in the log home industry we have learned what works best and alongside our builders and subcontractors are committed to creating your perfect log home experience.
Keep checking out our blog to learn about the newest innovations in eco-friendly building as we look forward to the days of hybrid tractor trailers and environmentally friendly shipping.
