Flooring is one of those choices that affects your log home every day. It's not just about how it looks in a photo; it's about how it stands up to everyday life. We're talking about wet boots, muddy paws, dropped pans, and the constant of people coming and going. 
If you are building a new log home or renovating your log cabin, you want something that holds up without losing its beauty. We will go over some of the most popular and practical flooring options for busy areas in the home.

Take a moment and imagine your ideal floor plan. What comes to mind? Maybe it’s a spacious great room centered around a soaring fireplace or perhaps it’s a cozy, eat-in kitchen. The details of your vision are clues that can lead you to the perfect home design — whether it’s a plan from our Premier Series, Cedar Valley Series or Camp Series (with your own modifications, of course!) or a completely custom design.

Deciding to build a log cabin or timber hybrid — though not a small decision — it could be argued is an obvious one. After all, both building systems are proven construction methods that promise longevity and an unmatched aesthetic.

But once you’ve made the choice to build, what isn’t always as clear is what other materials to fill your log home or timber hybrid with. One of the most foundational decisions when it comes to finishes is flooring. Not only does it have to perform and function well, it also needs to look good, too.
