A log home is the ultimate custom home. What do YOU want in your home? Because for perhaps the first time in your life, you get to make these choices. At GLH we offer both Oak and Pine T&G for this purpose as an option for our standard packages. Drywall should be purchased locally. Would you like to see the Oak and Pine T&G? Come to the GLH model home center on I70 Exit 144 in central MO.
Ceiling Options – Video Transcription
Hi, this is Lynn Gastineau, and I wanted to show you some of the differences and choices that you have for ceiling materials that you can build into your log home. Most people want a wood ceiling, at least in a great room area. Although some people do choose to use drywall.
At Gastineau, we have a couple of choices for you, and I just wanted to show them to you in this video. So, this is our 1×6 tongue and groove oak, which obviously matches your oak logs if that’s what you were going to build with. The other option we sell is southern yellow pine, which we have right around the corner in our model home center. We show the southern yellow pine built onto the ceiling. The yellow pine I feel has a better connection and grain patterns with the oak, yellow pine compared to white pine has more grain. I think that it matches the oak logs much better. You have the choice of using oak or yellow pine. The oak is obviously a bit more expensive; it is up to you what you want.
Of course, you can do drywall. We have quite a few people who choose to do that as well. A lot of times they will mix their ceiling materials, in other words, they may put wood in the great room area and drywall in other areas. It’s up to you! Remember, these are custom homes, and you can build them any way you want.
