Cedar Home

A cedar home is warm, beautiful, and inviting... and it's also a smart purchase.
Cedar homes are typically of higher quality than many "stick built" houses, in both material and craftsmanship.
There could be a number of reasons for this. Maybe it's that dream home
expectation.
Maybe the warmth and elegance of a cedar home is a reflection of
the owner's personality.
It probably also has to do with the quality that is built in to the
packages on today's market. Cedar home vendors offer a variety of floor plans, from cozy to soaring, but you see more of the upper scale models. I'm told all the kits have quality built in.
Please understand that "kit" doesn't mean "cookie cutter." In most instances the cedar home is a
custom designed and built home. A specialized cedar home vendor normally provides design and materials.
The construction materials are cut at the vendor's yard and trucked to your home site.
A contractor in your area then builds your house.
In this class of home, the building material - cedar, is a primary feature. The building style can be a log home, post and beam, timber frame, or conventional frame construction. And of course these high tech days, a combination of the above styles.
Cedar has a number of important advantages as a building material:
 |
Natural beauty |
 |
Natural resistance to decay |
 |
Natural resistance to termites and insects |
 |
Exceptional durability |
 |
Excellent wood finishing characteristics |
 |
Nature-compatible coloring |
Western Red Cedar seems to be the preferred material for
cedar homes. The source for western red cedar is the Pacific Northwest (USA and
Canada). Most cedar home manufacturers are headquartered in this area.

Cedar home custom kits and components are milled here and
shipped to many countries in addition to US and Canadian home sites.
A cedar home fits perfectly into natural surroundings. You can have natural beauty surrounding you
inside and outside the home.
Several cedar
home companies show floor plans on their website. This is an example. Search
Google using the term
