Glass in Your Log Home

It might be interesting to know that a good way to introduce light into your log home would be to use glass block. Glass block helps to break up the long horizontal lines of logs in your home. It's also great for efficiency, as well, it gives the feeling of 'green' home design, and it is 100% recyclable. You can also incorporate stained and leaded glass in your log home. For example, you can insert stained glass into your door to add a splash of colour. Maybe a stained glass window over your whirlpool bath. It will provide light, colour and privacy. In the kitchen you can install glass in your cabinetry. Shower and tub enclosures could be of glass block. But using glass you don't have to be restricted. Another way to bring glass into your home would be to add it to your front entry. You can add sidelights and other glass windows to open up spaces and welcome quests. Different glass designs can work well in any room in your house. Don't forget to add skylights , when well placed they can add an abundance of natural light to your log home.
