Why
is Cypress better than other woods? |
|
|
| |

|
Known
for thousands of years as "The Wood Eternal",
Cypress is a beautiful, high quality wood that is extremely resistant
to moisture, heat and insects. This weather resistant lumber has a
unique, beautiful grain that stands out with any type of finish. Logs
are cut from the heart of the cypress tree, which is the most decay
and insect resistant part of the cypress. Because
the natural oils in the cypress repel termites and resist rot,
it is one of the few wood products that does not need to be chemically
treated to protect against such threats. Wood
preserving chemicals that may contain cancer-causing agents (carcinogens)
are not used on our cypress. |

The natural characteristics of cypress
make it a very energy efficient building material. Because
Cypress has a slow, steady growth pattern, the growth rings tend
to be close together, creating a dense, solid wood that will give
you a log home that will still be standing solid many years from
now. Tiny air holes in
the soft texture between the rings provide a natural insulation.
All
types of woods have air pockets in the soft texture between the
rings. The advantage of Cypress is that you get a smaller air pocket
that creates an insulating effect which helps
to keep your log home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Also,
due to the closeness of the growth rings, the cypress tends not
to check or shift as
much as other woods. Cypress requires little or no gaps to be left
around doors or windows in the building process, further enhancing
the insulating properties of a cypress log home.
