Log Cabin Siding: What You Should Know

If you love that log cabin look but aren’t quite ready to build that 100% log home, you may want to check out log cabin siding. While log cabin siding is often used on the interior of log homes, it can be used on the interior walls of just about any abode.

Log siding, which is also known as log paneling or tongue & groove wood, tends to be raised or rounded like a half log. In contrast, true log paneling tends to be flat and narrow (like a plank).

Log homes that are truly built with logs (as opposed to stick-built homes with log siding) still frequently rely on stick-built interior walls which are covered with log cabin siding. Your home doesn’t have to be a log cabin to utilize this type of siding, however. You can create the cozy feel of a cabin in just about any room, by covering the walls with beautiful log siding.

Some of the most beautiful log siding we’ve seen is built by Amish craftsmen and constructed from white cedar. With knots, character and a clear lacquer finish, such siding will be an eye-catching addition to your rustic décor.
