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.

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.
