Arborwall Solid Cedar Homes

Arborwall is Energy Efficient Solid Construction
Northern white cedar provides the highest insulation value of any wood species. In Arborwall solid cedar homes, rigid panel insulation applied to the interior forms continuously insulated mass walls, creating an exceptionally tight energy envelope. By contrast, stick framed construction creates spaces on the exterior walls between the studs, filling the gaps between with insulation. This method creates heat loss, called thermal bridges, which allow energy to escape every 14 - 16 inches on every exterior wall. With Arborwall's solid Northern White Cedar construction and continuously insulated mass walls, the home retains heat in the winter and keeps in cool air during the summer.

Arborwall is Sustainable Decades in the making.
It might seem like building with solid cedar walls is less "green," but northern white cedar is a highly sustainable and abundant crop. The cedar that Arborwall uses is from responsibly managed forests, and Arborwall is the only home manufacturing company that can provide Forest Stewardship Council certified cedar. Northern White Cedar forests stretch across much of northeastern North America, but there are only a few places where it grows in such abundance that it can be harvested sustainably. Maine's vast swathes of cedar forests provide the perfect conditions for sustainable harvest. Our parent company, Katahdin Forest Products, has developed and maintained green practices for nearly 40 years, including recycling wood waste in its biomass boiler to heat mills and warm the drying kiln.

SIP Homes

Are you thinking that a log home is just not the right choice for you? Do not worry! We are also experts at building high efficiency structural insulated panel homes (aka SIP homes). SIPs are often a preferable choice over traditional stick homes for many reasons. SIPs are extremely energy efficient, so you’ll save big on heating and cooling your home. SIPs are also more durable, resilient, and stronger than standard stick built homes. If you’re interested in what SIPs and Big Twig Homes can do for you, just get in touch. We’re happy to support you in making the best choice for your needs.

Custom Homes

Stick built homes use a traditional construction type where “sticks”, or wooden boards like 2×4’s are used to construct a home. We can help you determine if a stick built home is your best choice, and contrast the benefits with our SIP homes.
