by Dalibor Houdek

We are pleased to announce that FP Innovations has given the BC LTBIA permission to print and sell "THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO LOG HOME CONSTRUCTION From Log Shell to Finished Home" by

Dalibor Houdek.

This very unique book focuses exclusively on converting the log home shell into a finished log home. There is no other book like this on the market today! It is a must-have "how-to" guide for log home builders, general contractors who finish log homes, designers and architects, students and do-it yourself log building enthusiasts. It covers detailed provisions right from the foundations to ensure that the sill log will be tightly sealed, all the way to the installation of kitchen cabinets in a manner that will allow the logs to settle without damaging the cabinetry. Each chapter of this book depicts one aspect of the log home finishing process and provides several options using a diverse selection of techniques and products available today. Three dimensional color drawings depict the placement of sealants e.g., gaskets, wind-proofing membranes and vapour barriers, and explicitly show how to use and install them so that they effectively perform their function.

 

This excellent book is a great gift for your customers and a must have for general contractors involved in finishing log homes.
