A History Of Concrete Homes

In 1908, Thomas Edison was credited with designing and building the first concrete homes in the United States located in Union, New Jersey. These homes still exist today. The concept of a concrete log home and cabins began in the 1930’s when both The Ahwahnee Hotel and The Sun Valley Lodge were clad using concrete. Although building concrete homes started slow, the use of this amazing, strong, versatile, and durable product is now gaining in popularity.

EverLog Systems was the first company to conceptualize a new approach to the concrete log home in 2001 when we invented, patented and developed a family of concrete log products. Our structural concrete logs are used in a variety of applications but most frequently as a load bearing exterior wall system. EverLog Systems also pioneered the concrete log siding industry, developing and patenting the first viable concrete log and timber siding.

Our concrete logs can be found on houses, cabins, lodges, and commercial structures in every region of the United States. EverLog concrete home products offer the exact character, texture, and warm appeal of quality handcrafted wood logs. Our products also eliminate the structural instability, costly maintenance, and susceptibility to fire, mold, insects, and other problems that are commonly associated with wood log construction.
