StainLock

Infusion System

WORLD’S 1 ST MACHINE COATED PRE-FINISHED LOGS True North’s Proprietary Stain Infusion Machine

StainLock means ...

Purchasing the most maintenance-free log home on the planet Move in your log home 4-6 weeks earlier Exceptional labour cost savings

“The factory applied stain saves the time, labour, and hassle of doing it later when the conditions may not be conducive to finishing (i.e. available time, winter, or in black fly/mosquito season!) We are extremely satisfied with process/ outcome and would highly recommend this to all future log home buyers.”

Jim & Lori Dawes – Lake Rosseau, Muskoka, ON

Log Lock

Compression System

Another Industry First...

The jaws hidden inside the LOG LOCK combined with the 2500 lb. compression spring are designed to permit the LOG LOCK to ONLY go downward oneway on the threaded rod. The LOG LOCK prevents logs from lifting, bowing or separating due to the naturally occurring shrinkage and settlement in log walls.

LOG LOCKS are installed in the centre of the log at approximately six foot intervals and two feet back from the corners. The average size log home will require approximately 40 LOG LOCKS depending on home design, to ensure the log walls remain tight.

Competitor’s thru-bolts installation requires a minimum of 2 days to install and continual maintenance. The Log Lock eliminates all maintenance and installs in approximately 2 hours.

What is the advantage to a True North customer?

LOG LOCK MEANS • NO AIR INFILTRATION • TIGHT JOINTS IN LOG WALLS • NO CHINKING OR CAULKING, EVER! • ELIMINATES ADJUSTMENTS & MAINTENANCE • LIGHTNING FAST INSTALLATION = SAVINGS

The

Keylock

Air Seal Corner

True North’s Secret...

True North uses the naturally occurring shrinkage in the width of the Log to its fullest advantage, making the corner tighter (as shown with the green arrows). True North’s patented Keylock, when inserted, tightens the Log interfaces together. Over time the Log shrinks towards the Keylock ensuring an airtight seal.

True North’s patented Keylock Air Seal Corner HOLPLQDWHV DLU LQ¿ OWUDWLRQ LQWR RXU ORJ KRPHV The absence of nails, lag screws or thru-bolts in our corner system is the major advantage of a True North Log Home. The application of the Keylock Air Seal Corner ensures no chinking or exterior caulking will ever be needed on the True North dovetail corner; eliminating maintenance.

What is the advantage to a True North customer?

KEYLOCK MEANS • NO AIR INFILTRATION • NO CHINKING OR CAULKING OF DOVETAIL CORNER • 25 YEAR “ZERO” AIR INFILTRATION WARRANTY

The

Six Tongue Sealand Groove System

True North’s Six Seal system is an example of the kind of research and technology that makes True North the #1 choice among log home buyers today.

The True North tongue and groove technology is designed with six channels to accommodate butyl rubber tape sealant and foam gasket tape (as shown below).

The thermal performance can be compared to a thermal pane window: if the six seals represent six panes of glass, the trapped air space between the glass will act as an insulator. Each section of dead air space between the tongue and groove seals reacts in the same way thereby improving thermal performance.

What is the advantage to a True North customer?

SIX SEAL MEANS • ENHANCED THERMAL PERFORMANCE • SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED SEALING BETWEEN LOGS

Key Spline Post Slide System Another Revolutionary Concept...

Butt Spline

Assembly

True North’s Secret...

The vertical arrows in Fig. A demonstrate the natural shrinkage in the width of the log. The log squeezes on the radius of the butt spline assembly. At the same time, shown with horizontal arrows, the log shrinks longitudinally, pulling on the butt spline assembly, making the joint tighter over time.
