ABOUT NAPIER LOG HOMES
 

WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 2000 WITH MANY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.  WE PROVIDE TRUE KILN DRIED LOGS.  OUR LOGS AND TIMBERS ARE DRIED TO 18%-21% MOISTURE CONTENT FROM CORE TO SHELL.  SOME LOG HOME COMPANIES ARE SELLING "KILN DRIED LOGS" BUT THESE COULD BE AS WET AS 50% -80% MOISTURE CONTENT.

IN YOUR SEARCH FOR A LOG HOME I AM SURE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A COMPANY THAT CAN OFFER QUALITY SERVICE AS WELL AS THE HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCT AVAILABLE.  OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST PRODUCTS POSSIBLE.

 KILN DRIED IS A TERM RELATED TO THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE WOOD.  MOISTURE CONTENT SHOULD BE MEASURED AS AN AVERAGE FROM THE CENTER OF THE LOG TO THE OUTER PORTION OF THE WOOD,  THE PURPOSE OF KILN DRYING IS TO ELIMINATE SHRINKAGE AND STABILIZE THE WOOD.  THIS CRITICAL PROCESS OF REDUCING A LOGS MOISTURE CONTENT ENSURES A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT WILL LAST OVER TIME.  WHEN ADMINISTERED PROPERLY, KILN DRYING NOT ONLY REMOVES EXCESS MOISTURE FROM THE WOOD, IT ELIMINATES MOLD AND FUNGI, PROVIDES A BETTER BASE FOR STAINS AND FINISHES AND REDUCES THE WEIGHT OFTHE WOOD, MAKING IT EASIER TO LOAD AND HANDLE DURING CONSTRUCTION.
