ATHENS, Tenn., June 20 TN-Tennessee-LogHomes
ATHENS, Tenn., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- While homebuilders across the
country are coping with stagnant inventories, Tennessee Log and Timber Homes
Inc. has seen sales of its Natural Element Homes(TM) increase by 108% in the
past year. The Athens, TN headquartered company is beating current economic
housing trends by creating a custom style of home that resonates with
Americans' desire to get closer to nature and incorporate natural materials
into their daily lives.
The Natural Element Homes brand represented approximately $34 million
dollars in completed construction costs for 2007 and spanned an area across
the U.S. These homes combine custom "mountain" architectural design with
unique natural building materials, such as stone, timber, bark, and wood, to
blend with the environment. They are engineered with innovative wood products
that out-perform conventional materials. "We use cutting-edge construction
methods to create these spectacular natural-style homes," said CEO Burton
Webb. "These types of homes go along with the 'back to nature' lifestyle of
living in a mountain resort area, and fit naturally into their location."
The Natural Element Home(TM) style obviously appeals to home buyers, as
nationwide sales have increased significantly each year since they were
introduced in 2005. "We are very proud of our performance; given this is one
of the housing industry's toughest years -- certainly since we've been in
business," said Webb.
