Advantages of Knotty Pine Paneling over Drywall for Log Cabins


If you are at long last making plans for your dream log cabin, what materials will you use on the interior walls? Although some cabin owners install drywall in one or more rooms, it’s just isn’t the same as real wood.                  


The atmosphere and ambiance is not rustic enough to suit many people’s tastes for bringing the outdoors in. Consider the following reasons for using Knotty Pine paneling in all the rooms in your cabin.

You Can’t Beat the Look of Real Pinewood

Knotty Pine Is Easy to Handle and Install



Knotty Pine paneling is not only gorgeous, but it’s also easy to install – even by homeowners with essential woodworking skills and tools. You can apply a finish on the panels before or after installation. Use a nail gun and it goes up in a flash.

Each piece locks firmly together with its tongue and groove/end-matching system. There’s no need to end-butt pieces on studs because the paneling ends also lock together anywhere between the studs.

Drywall Is Awkward and Needs Costly Professional Installation

If you have ever installed drywall or watched other people do it, you know the 4’x8’ or larger size sheets are heavy and cumbersome to handle. You must be careful not to break off part of a sheet and it can take 2 or 3 people to hold some of the pieces in places.

You must use many nails or screws, tape off the seams, apply mud, sand the application to finish it, and then prime and paint. Not to mention precisely cutting out holes for outlet and switch plates. This takes a lot of work compared to dealing with lightweight panels and spending little time measuring and sawing pieces to length. You also save up to 20% on material waste with our Knotty Pine.
