There are many individual components that make up a great log system. One such component is how the manufacturer integrates the windows and doors into the log wall. Many log home manufacturers offer ‘pre-cut’ window and door openings. But what exactly does this mean?
In most cases pre-cut window and door openings are nothing more than a pre-cut rough opening with 2x dimensional lumber to follow. The contractor will still have a significant amount of cutting left to contend with out in the field. The settling space above the windows and doors, the face of the log for the exterior trim and grooving the log ends and bucks are a few examples. How accurate are these cuts? How much additional time will it take? What are the repercussions in terms of energy loss and future maintenance?
Now compare that to Beaver Mountain’s unique pre-cut, form fitting window and door bucks as pictured here. Our system is entirely pre cut resulting in less construction time for your builder and a more consistent, quality fit.
