Log Cabins To Buy: What Floorboards Should You Use
Many folks are looking for log cabins to buy for their vacation homes or even permanent residences. These wooden structures are charming, rustic, and beautiful. They look great when built beside a lake, at the edge of a forest, in the middle of a meadow, and anywhere there is a plethora of nature's wonders.
Since a log cabin is normally made of wood, it is vulnerable to sunlight, rain, frost, dust, and wind, all of which could destroy the structure. An important part of the dwelling that you should pay attention to is the hardwood floor, which is vulnerable to the harsh but unseen elements.
Since the base under the hardwood floor is usually made of concrete, your hardwood floor may encounter problems with humidity and moisture since concrete absorbs water. If your floor is untreated, the material will degrade and rot. Furthermore, if untreated, termites and worms will gnaw through the wood, completely damaging your floor.
To avoid this problem, you should always use strong, treated flooring. You can easily determine the suitability and strength of the wood you want to purchase through the Janka Hardness Scale. If you go through the chart, a number is assigned to a certain kind of wood. The higher the number, the harder the wood is. And the harder the wood, the better it can withstand wear and tear.
Another thing that you need to consider is the glue that is used to glue down your floor to the concrete base. Choose modern glues that also do their job as a moisture barrier between the wooden floor and the base. Also, these glues are made with special chemicals to prevent glue sinks, the result of wood warping from the downward pull of the glue.
Finally, there are issues coming from environmentally concerned individuals about using hardwood considering that the base material is made from trees. If want to build green, you can opt for floor boards made of bamboo and cork, which are rapidly renewable sources. Additionally, you can use reclaimed wood that originally came from old barns, logs, and railroad trestles.
