EagleRock Log homes has successfully incorporated an engineering innovation into our log wall construction process. The idea of Thru Bolting itself is not new, just difficult to incorporate into an existing system. This advanced system won't work on just any log home. If a company hasn't invested in the necessary time, money, and quality control measures, major problems can occur. Just trying to get the pre-drilled holes to line up on all the logs can in fact prove very difficult.

At EagleRock, we use the latest engineering technologies available to improve the original log homes that our country's settlers relied on. These advanced homes have set the standard for log wall construction.

Our latest improvement involves the way individual logs are linked together to form the log wall. In the past, logs were spiked or lag bolted (threaded screws) together to erect log walls. EagleRock has developed and implemented a new technique; a spring loaded, self-tightening, maintenance free thru bolt system with our new patented anchoring system. This method replaces spikes and lag bolts with a spring-loaded continuous threaded-rod running through the entire log wall. This forms a very strong log wall, and keeps the log wall very tight as it settles over time.

Benefits of our self-tightening, maintenance-free thru bolt system:

•Faster to build and less labor intensive than old-fashioned spike and lag bolt systems. There is no need to pound several 8", 10", 12", or even longer spikes into every log. Just start stacking.

•Structural strength is significantly improved. Thru Bolts lock the log wall together. It becomes a solid unit instead of several logs nailed together. Thru Bolting helps maintain uniform settling over the entire log wall system.

•Studies backed by independent research have proven the thru bolt (or through bolt) process is vastly superior to spiking or lag bolting the logs together.

•Thru-Bolts are without a doubt THE greatest engineering advancement in the log home industry.

With our improved self-tightening, maintenance-free version with our patented anchoring system... we just set the standard even higher.

Log-Lok Spline & T-Jamb SystemLogs must not only fit tightly with each other, they must be snug with adjoining windows and doors. The tricky part is that if these joints are too rigid, then normal log settling can add stress to or even damage adjoining components.

That’s where EagleRock Log homes’ Log-Lok spline and T-jamb system saves the day. Our log butts, window jambs and doorjambs are outfitted with perpendicular strips called “splines,” which fit into grooves that are mill-cut into the butt ends of adjoining logs.

That way, log wall segments are allowed to settle naturally, leaving the splines to float freely up and down within the grooves. The result is a flexible joint that also provides an excellent seal and minimizes air infiltration.

DoubleTongue-And-Groove At EagleRock Log homes, our double tongue-and-groove, saddle notch corners virtually eliminate air infiltration at corner joints, allowing your home to maintain maximum energy efficiency.

Each log is milled with a pair of parallel ridges (tongues) that run the length of the timber and are covered with strips of foam gasket material. When two logs are stacked, the gasket-covered ridges on top of the lower log fit tightly into precision-milled grooves that are cut into the underside of the upper log.
