For nearly 60 years, IHC has provided the finest custom homes and commercial structures around the world. We introduced engineered timber walls to the industry in 1966. We combine engineered timbers with our patented precision interlocking system to build one of the strongest structures in the world. Our homes have withstood hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters undamaged. We have numerous customer testimonials and an extensive portfolio.
Use of engineered timbers allows IHC to use only second growth, sustainable yield, kiln dried, inland western red cedar and/or ponderosa pine that has been carefully selected for its inherent beauty. Our engineered timbers virtually eliminate the twisting and warping often seen in solid timbers and logs, and also dramatically reduce shrinking, cracking, and splitting. Chinking or jack screws are never necessary with our system. Our homes are easy to maintain and offer the legendary pest resistance of western red cedar. We have completed projects in all 50 states and 18 countries.
An engineered timbers thermal performance is superior, offering excellent energy efficiency in extreme climates. We received a patent in 2013 for our unique foam core Thermo-Lam III timber that provides better thermal performance than a 2×10 framed wall with R-30 fiberglass batt insulation. IHC homes span the globe from north of the Arctic Circle to as far south as Australia!
