Today, more than ever, we as a society have become aware and concerned about our impact on the environment and we have decided to make a difference. Arizona Log Homes shares that passion and wants to provide you with the most energy efficient homes available by utilizing numerous new and exciting technologies to provide you with a GREEN home.
TREES- By building one of our Log Home Kits, you are assisting in the recovery and re-vegetation of the forests. We as a company are only using “standing dead” trees for the construction of you log home. This means that the trees we manufacture for your home will be removed from the forest so new trees will take their place. This is nature’s way of replenishing and recycling.
INSULATION- Out with the old and in with the new. By eliminating the inefficient fiberglass insulation of yesterday, and applying a product called Icynene, this foam based insulation delivers high-performance solutions for efficient building envelopes, thermal comfort and a healthy living environment – all of which are integral components of green building and design.

WINDOWS- Much of the energy we gain and lose are through the windows installed in a home. Arizona Log Homes has aligned itself with a company that prides itself on the unique way the windows are designed, materials used, and exclusive features. To learn more, visit: www.inles-usa.com
INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICFs) - Foundation construction practices have hardly changed over the last hundred years. Those days are gone when you decide to build using Amvic. They provide a 5-1 solution that combines structure, insulation, vapor and sound barrier, and attachments for exterior siding. The walls can perform up to an R-50 insulation value.
