Log Cabin Kit Window & Door Features

Diagram of Premier Building System Features

Unique Design Assures Snug Windows and Doors

As logs naturally settle, standard 2 x 6 door and window frames can become bowed, causing them to bind. The ALSI system solves that problem. Our log stack is notched and sealed into a stout 4" pre-slotted jamb so the logs can float freely. This allows the window and doors to fit snugly and work smoothly over the years.

Beneath the charming curb appeal of a log home is an intricate wall system to join logs securely together. Well-designed corner joinery is the foundation for a log home's longevity and solidity. Appalachian Log Structures, Inc. offers four corner styles, engineered for maximum life expectancy and stability.

The Premier Building System includes the following features:

  • Premium caulking and gaskets

  • Spring-loaded Thru-Bolts™

  • Base course log wiring channels

  • Baseboard

  • Lags screws

  • Shiplap joints

  • Wide-track tongue and groove
