A hybrid home takes the best of both worlds for the outside. It takes the energy efficient wall construction and insulation from traditionally framed homes and adds the rustic charm from a log home. Walls are built using 2×6 or 2×8 studs and the wallspace is filled with an R-21, R-23 or R-30 insulation. The exterior can be finished with logs, cedar, stone or other timber materials. Rustic accents such as logs or timber posts, trusses, porches or other details can be added to the outside.
The inside of a hybrid home is just as customizable as the outside. The inside walls can be finished with drywall, tongue and groove, stone, logs, or timbers. Remember, each room of your home can have a different finish. If you do not want do go full out rustic finish, accents and details are available. Stairs, railings, beams, trusses, trim, posts, and doors can be given a rustic touch. Nearly anything is possible with a hybrid log home.
