What is Log Cabin Siding?
This popular and cost-effective exterior solution consists of specially milled wood planks—often featuring a half-log or D-log profile that are designed to be easily installed over conventional wall framing. It provides the cozy, natural aesthetic of old-world logs, offering superior durability, reduced maintenance, and the perfect blend of classic style and modern-day efficiency for your home, cottage, or cabin.
