The Long Log Advantage®                                                           Butt Joints

Several years ago Dick Neville wanted to find a way to build a house that did not have butt-joints (splices in wall logs that can shift and move apart from each other) and a way to keep large rooms open and free of vertical obstacles (eliminate columns or walls used to support a cathedral or vaulted ceiling in a log home). By designing and building the machinery that can true long-logs (logs up to 60ft!), Dick was able to change the way log homes are built and the way that log homes look.

With almost 40 years of tried and true methods, Neville Log Homes continues to be a leader in the log home industry. See the exceptional difference THE LONG LOG ADVANTAGE® will make in your log home.

The patented Log Forming machine can produce logs up to 60 feet long, with perfectly-consistent diameters from 7 to 18 inches.  these long logs eliminate the need for unnecessary "butt joints."  That advantage creates four major benefits:

Strength.     A long log is much stronger than two joined logs.

Insulation:  By eliminating butt joints, we eliminate a major source of possible air infiltration.

Efficiency:  With fewer individaul logs to conver the same area, crews can finish faster, saving construction costs.

Beauty:       A solid log wall looks better-even more so over time, since butt-joined logs tend to move apart as a house settles. 

                     In addition,  longer logs allow longer ridge beams, purlins and joists.
