Green Building

“Going green” seems to be on everyone’s minds these days, especially with the struggling economy and the news about global warming. What many people don’t know is that Timber Frame cabin living has always been environmentally friendly. Cabin owners not only save money on energy costs but also do their part to promote the health of our environment.

What exactly does going green mean? It means using less energy, using more renewable resources and limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Post and Beam homes accomplish all of these goals and more.

Post and beam homes, today more than ever, are energy efficient and constructed with sustainability in mind while maintaining the outstanding beauty, aesthetics, and craftsmanship that signify what a NW Cabin timber frame home is. At NW Cabins, we're defining what green building means. With our energy efficient wall construction, small amount of building waste, and selection of low-impact materials, we're setting the standard on environmentally friendly building.

Material Choice 
For materials we use sustainable harvested and rapidly renewable materials from managed tree farms. Our experience with timber frame construction offers a highly aesthetic and long-lasting structure, while using only local harvested wood efficiently. For example our timber is sourced locally. Sourcing local materials aids to stimulate the local economy and maintains healthy communities.

Post and Beam Timber Frame cabins are a wonderful style of construction utilizing exacting and massive timbers to form the framework of the building. The actual timber frame is then left exposed on the interior of the home which allows for a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship that is truly unmatched in today's modern building styles.
