Constructing Your Log or Timber Frame Home
We use only the finest grade Cedar, Pine, Spruce, and Fir from Western Canada. Western Red Cedar is one of the most stable building materials known for log home construction. Douglas Fir allows for longer spans and gives incredible strength for load bearing and structural timbers. CTH homes are best known for their pleasant aromatic smell and warm, rich colorful wood.
CTH uses age old logging and milling techniques. We air or kiln dry our timber as well as choose standing-dead, fire/insect-killed timber whenever possible. This reduces moisture content in the timber to control settlement and shrinkage after assembly.
We use proven joinery and notching methods like double tongue & groove, Swedish cope, saddle notches for corners, mortise & tenon joints to create a solid, air-tight fit. Thru-bolts (threaded rods) are also incorporated into our log wall systems to control settlement.
Canadian Timber Homes can show you how to build the package yourself, offer construction services, or can provide project management for a complete 
"turn-key" service.
We will help you design your dream home, provide plans and construction specifications, technical support, all building materials including doors, windows, cabinets, flooring, stains & finishes and much more.
When you choose Canadian Timber Homes, you are tapping into over 50 years experience in the pre-manufacturing of quality home packages.
CTH Homes are built with care
We use experienced workers, select materials and proven techniques in the construction of your timber home. All building procedures are proven, time tested, and to National Building Code.
We use conventional foundations and basements (concrete or wood). We can incorporate the latest building methods and materials including PWF Preserved Wood Foundations or Pre-Cast concrete or ICF-Insulated Concrete Forms utilizing energy efficient foam insulation.
Insist on a "no-squeak" floor system? We do! We use the latest in manufactured-joist or truss floor systems.
You may choose to finish the interior of your timber home more traditionally with solid wood doors, cabinets, floors and ceilings. Or you can incorporate many contemporary features into your dream log home. In certain areas you may choose drywall partitions, textured ceilings, modern kitchens and baths, sunrooms, skylights, tile flooring etc. Your imagination is our only limitation.
