New Building System Offers Revolutionary Alternative to Natural Wood Logs – Cultured Log Systems

A Montana based company has invented a building system that replaces the
need for natural wood logs in building a variety of log structures.

Cultured Log Systems (CLS) is a revolutionary structural building system. Their patented
products have the exact look and feel of natural wood, without the inherent problems associated
with wood log construction. CLS’s products are fire-resistant, maintenance free, provide superior
insulation, and are resistant to insect infestation, mold, and decay.

Industry professionals are also taking notice. “From an engineering perspective, Cultured Log
Systems has developed a structurally superior product," said Tom Beaudette of Beaudette
Engineering Consultants. "Their system will not shrink or settle which are significant concerns
with natural wood log construction.”
“This product is really impressive” agreed architect Jamie Daugaard of CentreSky Architecture.

“Not only does CLS produce the precise look of wood logs, their system also provides architects
complete design flexibility. People should really take a look at this system.”

Builders and owners also benefit from this new system, as most CLS structures are erected in a
fraction of the time taken for traditional log structures. This substantially reduces the overall cost
of construction.

Cultured Log Systems uses a combination of concrete and recyclable materials to create their
products. They can be manufactured to most any specification found in natural wood logs. In
addition, they place no burden on our forest resources.

On price, CLS President Stewart Hansen says “Our log packages cost less than comparable
natural wood log packages and include erection costs. Most log homes companies charge a
separate fee for erecting the logs. This can add 30-40% to the cost of the log package. The cost
of erecting our structures is included in the cost of the log package.”

Hansen continued, “Because of the unique materials used in our cultured log packages our homes
are basically maintenance free, and given the natural insulation and fire resistant nature of our
products, our customers experience lower homeowners’ insurance premiums and lower energy
costs. This leads to significantly lower ownership costs over the life of the structure.”

CLS also offers an in-house design team to work with customers through the design process.
“Many of our customers come to us with a basic home design in mind," Hansen said. "We discuss
their specific needs and visions and incorporate them into a full design. We constantly work with
architects and engineers throughout the process and with a growing network of builders we are
able to provide a turnkey solution, from design through construction.”
