Cypress Log Homes Inc. - Company Information
BK Cypress Log Homes Inc. is a family-owned and operated company. The
family of BK Cypress started cypress manufacturing in the 1930s and
log homes in the 1970s, establishing itself as the leader in cypress
log home manufacturing.
BK
Cypress uses Tidewater red cypress, nature's finest wood against rot,
decay and termites, as its wood of choice for lumber and log homes.
The wood's advantages are
so great that the logs are sold with a 60-year limited warranty against
rot, decay
and termite infestation.
Tidewater
red cypress is a very tight and dense grained wood with compact growth-ring
patterns. Our milling process is designed to remove the sapwood and
keep the valuable heartwood for logs and timbers, resulting in minimal
shrinking and settling.
BK
Cypress' log system features triple tongue-and-groove milling on the
top and bottom of all milled log profiles. We offer many different log
shapes and sizes, as well as corner systems. In addition, BK Cypress
offers the options of logs with hand-hewning or chinking. Being a full-service
sawmill/manufacturer, BK Cypress offers cut timbers, siding, trim lumber,
tongue-and-groove paneling, flooring, etc. In 1996, BK Cypress introduced
a
12-inch wide dovetail hand-hewn system and 10- to 16-inch diameter half-round
siding with full corners.
