True North Log Homes, the most technologically advanced custom log home manufacturer in the world, has introduced the new Chateau Qu'Appelle log home floor plan to their collection. This new relaxing and tranquil design is inspired by the Canadian Qu’Appelle River, which flows 430 kilometers from Lake Diefenbaker in southwestern Saskatchewan.
“We seek to support and improve our environment in everything we do, and this time, the stunning environment in western Canada served as our inspiration,” says the company’s president and CEO, Rob Wrightman. The design has timber frame supports and accents, and with the 6” x 12” full log wall system, so the Chateau Qu’Appelle showcases and harmonizes with its surroundings. “No home should be a burden to the environment,” says Wrightman. “Our proprietary and patented technology for our log wall system actually pulls tighter as the logs shrink naturally over time, creating an incredibly energy efficient home – so much so that we’re the only log home manufacturer to offer a
25 year zero air infiltration warranty.”
True North’s homes embody the opening quote in their plan book and website: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.” True North Log Homes are high end, luxury retreats that capture current trends and classic beauty. They are a fascinating juxtaposition between the log home (typically seen as traditional) and advanced technology. As the developers of the most technologically-advanced log home on the planet, and owners of 18 U.S. and Canadian patents, True North Log Homes provides customers with true dream homes.
Log homes themselves are environmentally friendly – wood’s thermal mass characteristics often exceed minimum energy efficiency code criteria, and are naturally renewable. True North takes this even further by obtaining their wood from environmentally sustained forests, and becoming Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. The certification includes The Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood program and Chain-of-Custody certification. The FSC certification demonstrates True North Log Homes’ interest in and awareness of environmental and social standards within the international market, and the importance of enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit the environment.
Sustainability has been a priority at
True North Log Homes for over twenty-five years. Since the 80’s, the company’s vision has always been to provide the most efficient log home packages in the industry, allowing clients to reduce costs and eliminate waste by saving valuable resources. True North Log Homes has built a brand that is ecologically mindful of the building processes, products and equipment used, and employees actively participate in sustainability at work, home and in the community.
"Since our founding 27 years ago, we have built homes in almost every state in the United States, across Europe, in Mexico, the Bahamas, Japan, Korea, and of course, from coast to coast in Canada,” says Wrightman. "We’ve recently completed several projects in Alberta, including Pigeon Lake, Banff, Canmore, and around the Calgary region. We’ve also done several projects in Saskatchewan, including a modified Louisburg IV model for our clients, Cory Chittenden and his wife.”
“Working with True North Log Homes was an amazing experience,” says happy homeowner Cory Chittenden. “We did about 10 years of research, roughly, before we decided to build a log home. After our research, which included visiting the facilities of several log home companies, including True North, we realized True North Log Homes is the leader in the industry. It was never a problem working with a company in eastern Canada. The build process was exceptionally smooth, and True North Log Homes has an incredible construction manual, which set our minds and our builder’s minds at ease. I have a very stressful life - when I’m done at the end of the day, coming home is like walking into a vacation every evening.”
