THE ECOLOG ADVANTAGE
Uniting modern construction methods with a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship, everything we make is designed to endure and bring joy for generations to come.
Affordability
Solid walls are constructed from 8" by 8” square timbers which are much easier to produce and work with. We share the efficiency of its manufacturing process with its customers, thereby making our log home kits the most affordable in Ontario.
Style
The look of EcoLog Homes is derived from the alternating 2" insulation and chinking and 8" timbers, giving EcoLog buildings their unique, attractive, natural appearance, reminiscent of traditional log homes found in northern Europe an eastern Canada.
Sustainability
Our trees are carefully selected and harvested from our privately-owned lands in Eastern hemlock using leading-edge forestry management protocols, then manufactured into usable timbers in our advanced, efficient sawmills..

WHY ECOLOG
-
EcoLog kits mainly use Eastern hemlock from Haliburton Forest, a 100,000-acre sustainable forest. Haliburton Forest owns and operates three sawmills, and it is the single largest employer in Haliburton County. This means that when you buy an EcoLog kit, you are buying locally grown and locally-manufactured wood, supporting local jobs and the local environment.
-
Wood has natural insulating properties, and Eastern hemlock is superior to most species. Wood is twelve times more insulating than concrete, and it is much less heat conductive than any metal and many synthetic materials as well. Log homes stay cool in the summer heat and cozy in winter due not just to the insulating qualities of the logs but also the effect of thermal mass storage.
-
Properly designed and constructed log homes will outlive many types of structure – there are many examples around the world of such buildings exceeding 200 or even 300 years old. Our customers have found that EcoLog kits are popular on the real estate market, holding their value and out-performing conventional cottages and homes when resold or retained for the next generation.
