CABIN FACT:
A LITTLE
The Wood House Muskoka was created with Eco Friendly Construction. It’s fabricated entirely of logs and renewable resources. South facing windows and radiant heated flooring add subtle warmth inside. The construction is chink-less, which refers to a centuries-old Scandinavian process of fitting massive logs together, some over 35-feet long, using precise carving and wooden pegs. There are no metal screws or nails holding things in place, and no CO₂ intensive cement (hence the name chink-less, as chinking refers to the practice of binding timber using cement or similar adhesives). Because they are a minimum 12 inches wide, they have thermal mass on top of insulating value higher than that of an average framed house. The logs store heat in the winter and reflect heat outward in the summer to help maintain an ambient temperature.
