T The Lindal Difference begins with the lasting strength and beauty of nature’smost perfect building material: Western red cedar. With its natural radiance, warmrange of colors and velvety finish, our fragrant, fine-grained cedar is a daily luxury tolive with. Pound for pound, it’s as strong as steel, with natural preservative oils thatmake it resistant to moisture and insects and a uniform cell structure that providesexceptional insulation. Most important, Lindal reserves the best cedar for you. Ourpremium grade of kiln-dried, finely-crafted cedar simply can’t be matched at thelocal lumberyard. From the forest to the building site, we have our own high standardsfor the cedar we use. We reject much of the lumber that ends up in other homes. And we ensure that our remarkable quality of cedar is always readily available—to you.

Each year, Lindal’sreforestation programfunds the planting ofthousands of trees—morethan enough to replacethe material used in ourhomes. Our goal: toensure sustainability forgenerations to come.

T Open, airy living spaces. Floorplans that flow. Walls of windows. Soaring prowsof glass that capture views and bathe interiors with natural light. Lindal designbrings together the elements of style so highly valued in fine custom homes withour patented building system, which is inspired by the post and beam architectureof North American master builders. Lindal’s post and beam building system frees upmost interior walls from bearing any structural load, creating an openness thatallows for light-filled airy spaces, large expanses of glass, and the flexibility to easilycustomize a floorplan to your functional and aesthetic tastes. It’s this integrity ofstructural strength and style that makes a Lindal home so remarkable to live in—not only a wise investment but a wonderful feeling, too.

2 Lindal Design

A floorplan that just feelsright: Lindal homes are ascomfortable and functionalas they are beautifulbecause their floorplanscreate a natural flow thatmakes it easy to enjoy themotions of daily living.

The beauty of Lindal post

and beam construction:

Lindal’s signature building

system uses a strong

framework of posts and

beams to support the roof’s

weight, freeing up most

interior walls from serving as

structural support. The

result: open, airy interiors

and flexible floorplans.

T Today’s tremendous variations in the quality of building materials make it moreimportant than ever to know what you’re getting for your money. In fact, much of thelumber that passes industry grading doesn’t make the grade at Lindal. We take the timeto kiln-dry our cedar—an extra step that increases its strength and reduces the chancefor twisting, warping and shrinking so common with green wood and air-dried lumber.At the same time, kiln-dried lumber weighs less, so shipping costs are lower. Andthat’s only the beginning; from framing lumber to siding, from the floor to our roofsystem, a whole houseful of engineering strengths and premium, above-grade materialsare the secret to Lindal’s dramatic beauty, structural integrity, low maintenance andliving comfort. Together, they add up to lasting value. Homeowners say that the highquality of Lindal materials brings out the best in a construction crew, too.
