Summit County Log Home Challenges
Understanding the unique environmental factors affecting log homes at high altitude
Extreme Winter Conditions
Summit County receives over 300 inches of snow annually, creating significant challenges for log homes:
- • Heavy snow loads requiring proper roof and structural assessment
- • Ice dam formation leading to moisture infiltration
- • Freeze-thaw cycles causing chinking and caulk failure
- • Extended periods below freezing affecting log movement
High-Altitude UV Exposure
At 9,000+ feet elevation, UV radiation is 25% stronger than at sea level:
- • Accelerated stain and finish degradation
- • Wood surface checking and cracking
- • Chinking compound UV damage and brittleness
- • Need for specialized UV-resistant products
Temperature Fluctuations
Daily temperature swings of 40°F+ are common in Summit County:
- • Rapid expansion and contraction of logs
- • Increased settlement and gap formation
- • Stress on chinking and caulk systems
- • Need for flexible, weather-resistant materials
