Question 1

What is a log home?

Accepted Answer

A log home is a dwelling built with solid cylindrical logs, stacked horizontally and assembled at the corners with precise notches. At Viabois, we use the modern Scandinavian technique, which ensures a perfectly airtight and durable assembly. Unlike conventional homes, log construction offers superior thermal insulation, unique authentic charm, and exceptional durability that can exceed 100 years. Our log structures are factory-built in Saint-Isidore-de-Beauce using premium mature wood from selective harvesting. Each home is numbered, pre-assembled at the factory, then disassembled for delivery and reassembled on your lot anywhere in Quebec.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Scandinavian technique and traditional log construction?

Accepted Answer

The Scandinavian technique we use at Viabois represents the modern evolution of log construction. Unlike the traditional manual method, our Scandinavian approach uses CNC precision tools to machine each log with a tolerance of ±2mm. Key advantages: • Perfect airtightness: Notches are machined with millimeter precision, eliminating water infiltration • Structural stability: Settling is calculated and controlled (2-3% vs 8-10% in traditional) • Superior insulation: Integrated weatherseal between each log • Enhanced durability: Elimination of major cracks through controlled drying • Predictable timelines: Factory manufacturing = guaranteed timeline This Scandinavian technique guarantees a log home that combines aesthetic authenticity and modern technical performance.

Question 3

Is a log home well insulated?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A solid log home offers excellent natural thermal insulation. Wood has an R-value of 1.0 to 1.4 per inch, meaning a 10" log wall provides insulation equivalent to R-10 to R-14. But that's not all: • Thermal mass: Wood stores heat during the day and releases it at night • Humidity regulation: Wood breathes naturally, reducing condensation • Air tightness: Our Scandinavian joints eliminate air infiltration At Viabois, we can increase insulation according to your needs: Adding insulation between logs Additional interior or exterior insulation Triple-pane windows Result: 4-season comfort + heating bills reduced by 30-40% vs conventional construction.

Question 4

Will log walls crack and deteriorate over time?

Accepted Answer

Log walls naturally develop superficial cracks called "checks." This is a normal and aesthetic phenomenon that does not compromise the structure. These cracks appear during the wood drying process and are controlled in our manufacturing process. Our Viabois approach: • Controlled factory drying before assembly (reduction of major cracks) • Selection of mature wood less prone to significant cracking • Preventive treatment against insects and mold • Protective finish (stain + UV sealant) Proven durability: With minimal maintenance (re-staining every 7 years), your Viabois log home can last 100+ years. We have projects over 30 years old in perfect condition in Quebec.

Question 5

Can I build a log home on any type of terrain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our log homes can be built on virtually all types of terrain in Quebec, subject to compliance with municipal regulations. Types of foundations available: • Concrete slab: Economical solution for flat terrain • Crawl space: Ideal for slight slopes • Full basement: Maximizes living space • Stilts: For steep slopes or flood zones • Floating barge: For waterfront projects (e.g. Avalanche 25x25) Our service: Viabois works with geotechnical partners to assess your terrain and recommend the optimal foundation. We also handle municipal permits and compliance with the Quebec Building Code.

Question 6

How long can a log home last?

Accepted Answer

A well-built and maintained log home can last over 100 years, even several generations. Many historic log structures in Europe date back 300-400 years and are still standing! Viabois longevity factors: • Premium mature wood (heartwood) • Scandinavian technique eliminating water infiltration • Preventive treatment against insects and rot • Overhanging roof protecting walls from rain • Solid foundations isolating wood from the ground Maintenance required: Exterior re-staining every 7 years, annual joint inspection. With this minimal maintenance, your Viabois investment is guaranteed for life.

Question 7

Is a log home fire resistant?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to popular belief, large-diameter solid wood offers excellent fire resistance. During a fire, 10"+ logs form a carbonization layer on the surface that slows the progression of fire toward the core of the structure. Comparison: • Solid log: Fire resistance 60-90 minutes • Conventional 2x4 frame: Fire resistance 15-30 minutes • Steel: Softens and collapses quickly at high temperatures Viabois compliance: All our homes meet the National Building Code and RBQ (Régie du Bâtiment du Québec) standards. We include: Interconnected smoke detectors Mandatory fire extinguishers Regulatory emergency exits Insurance: Our clients have no difficulty insuring their log home.

Question 8

Is log construction ecological and sustainable?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Log is the most ecological building material available. Here's why: Negative carbon footprint: • Wood captures and stores CO2 for life (12-15 tonnes of CO2 per home) • Manufacturing 100x less energy-intensive than concrete or steel • Zero waste: wood chips = mulch/composting Responsible Viabois sourcing: • Wood from sustainably managed forests in Quebec • Selective harvesting (no clear-cutting) • FSC certification available on request • Local transport (< 300 km from Saint-Isidore) Energy efficiency: • Natural insulation = reduced heating/cooling • 100+ year lifespan = fewer demolitions/rebuilds Bottom line: Building with Viabois = offsetting the equivalent of 10 years of driving in terms of CO2.

Question 9

Can you have large windows in a log home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our modern log homes easily integrate large windows and glass walls to maximize natural light and panoramic views. Viabois technical solutions: • Glulam support beams for large openings • Adjustable frames compensating for natural wood settling • Energy-efficient triple-pane windows (R-7) • Sliding patio doors up to 12' wide Project examples: Domaine St-Maurice model: 40' wide curtain wall Modern Log Home model: 18' high cathedral windows Avalanche 25x25: Panoramic lakeside glass walls Result: Perfect blend of log charm and bright contemporary design.

Question 10

Are log homes noisy (sound insulation)?

Accepted Answer

Solid wood offers excellent natural sound insulation thanks to its density and thickness (10" minimum). Acoustic performance: • Exterior walls: 45-50 dB reduction (equivalent to 2 conventional walls) • Between floors: 3-4" solid wood floors + insulation = 40-45 dB • Sound absorption: Wood absorbs echoes (unlike concrete/drywall) Possible Viabois improvements: Acoustic insulation between floor joists Double or triple glazing for windows Rock wool between interior partitions Client testimonials: "We can't even hear the road 200m away" | "Total tranquility, like being in a cocoon"

Question 11

What maintenance is required for a log home?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining a log home is simple and affordable, but essential to preserve its beauty and durability. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE (essential): Every 7 years: Complete re-staining • Gentle pressure washing • Application of 2 coats of UV protective stain • Average cost: approximately $3,000, mainly for UV protection on the south-facing side • Duration: 3-5 days Annually: Visual inspection • Check joints between logs (caulking) • Clean gutters • Inspect roof, flashings • Treat localized mold stains (diluted bleach) INTERIOR MAINTENANCE (minimal): • Oil wood floors (every 2-3 years) • Clean like any home VIABOIS TIP: Use our recommended stains (Sansin, Sikkens) = maximum durability 7-10 years.

Question 12

Does exterior stain need to be reapplied often?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of re-staining depends on the quality of the initial product and exposure: VIABOIS STAINS (recommended): • Sansin Enviro Stain: 7-10 years between applications • Sikkens Log & Siding: 6-8 years • Penofin Ultra Premium: 5-7 years FACTORS AFFECTING DURATION: • South exposure: More UV = more frequent re-staining (5-6 years) • North/east faces: Less UV = 8-10 years possible • Wide overhanging roof: Protects walls = +2-3 years durability • Annual cleaning: Extends stain life by 1-2 years Tip: Invest in the best stain from the start = long-term savings.

Question 13

How to prevent insect problems (carpenter ants, termites)?

Accepted Answer

Viabois log homes are protected against wood-boring insects through a multi-layer preventive treatment: FACTORY PROTECTION (included): • Deep borate treatment (Timbor/Bora-Care) • Effective against carpenter ants, powder post beetles, woodworms • Non-toxic to humans/animals • Lasts the lifetime of the wood (does not degrade) GOOD NEWS ABOUT TERMITES: Quebec is a cold zone = near-absence of termites (climate too cold). 0.1% risk vs 40% in Ontario/USA. CARPENTER ANTS (moderate risk): • Our borate treatment = effective repellent • Adequate ventilation = dry wood = no attack • Annual inspection recommended

Question 14

Does a log home require more maintenance than a conventional home?

Accepted Answer

NO, maintaining a log home is actually less expensive long-term than a conventional home! 25-YEAR COMPARISON: VIABOIS LOG HOME: Re-staining every 7 years: ~$3,000 × 3-4 = $9,000-$12,000. Inspection/caulking: $500/year × 25 = $12,500. TOTAL: ~$21,500-$24,500 CONVENTIONAL HOME: Exterior painting (vinyl/wood): $8,000 × 5 = $40,000. Vinyl/shingle replacement: $15,000. Wood rot repairs: $8,000. TOTAL: $63,000 LOG HOME SAVINGS: $38,500+ over 25 years + superior lifespan (100 years vs 50-70 years). Additionally: Log home maintenance = visible, preventive. Conventional = costly hidden problems.

Question 15

What should I do if I notice cracks in the logs?

Accepted Answer

Superficial cracks (checks) in logs are normal and aesthetic. No repair required in 95% of cases. WHEN TO BE CONCERNED: ❌ Through-crack (> 2" deep) with water infiltration ❌ Horizontal crack between two logs (assembly defect) WHEN NOT TO WORRY: ✅ Vertical cracks along the grain (natural) ✅ Superficial cracks < 1" deep ✅ Cracks that don't retain water IF REPAIR IS NEEDED: Apply flexible Log Jam/Perma-Chink caulking Cost: $5 - $15 / linear foot Free support: Send us photos, we'll assess if action is required.
