Thinking about buying or building a new living space? Want to build a cozy, modern, warm house that will not cost a fortune? Then you should consider log houses. Our modern life and daily stress sometimes prompt us to look back to our ancestors who lived in houses from logs and about those elderly people who still live in such buildings in villages and villages and do not suffer from asthma or allergies.
In many European countries, and in Russia, too, and especially in the Scandinavian countries, 80-90% of the country’s country houses. In Norway, for example, even wooden kindergartens became popular. The log house is associated with prestige, ecology and a healthy lifestyle more than a brick house. In addition, the construction of turnkey houses from logs is considered a good investment, since the resulting structure is an economically effective and stable structure.
The Germans, the Danes and the French, as a rule, build houses from a profiled timber, while the Norwegians mainly appreciate the houses from the ocilled logs, which are manually processed. Timber are natural environmental building materials that do not harm health. On the contrary, studies have confirmed that the natural color of spruce and pine has a positive effect on the psyche and calms the nervous system, and therefore creates excellent conditions for relaxation and relaxation. Electrostatic qualities of wood contribute to the fact that electricity does not accumulate inside the house, which means that the dust does not move. Dust movement exacerbates allergies, so a log house is more appropriate for allergies.
The log house can be equipped in the same way as a brick structure. That is, in the log house you can install high -quality windows and doors, durable roof, modern finish, plumbing and heating systems and all other advantages of modern life. Caring for a log house will cost no more than concern for a brick structure. In addition, the log house is much faster, and the construction costs are less.
You do not have to additionally invest in improving the heating of the house, since the wood itself provides excellent thermal insulation. If the wood is well processed and dried, even in the midst of winter it will be enough for heat in the house, without additional insulation layers. Walls from lumber accumulate heat and spread it evenly in the internal space. Another advantage of log cabins is that they quickly warm up and cool for a long time.
The log house also does not require expensive ventilation or air conditioning system. The log house “breathes”, that is, ventilation occurs naturally through the walls of the house. You will never feel. that the air has become too dry or stuffy, which is usually present in brick houses in winter. Also, you will not be tormented by excess moisture in the house when strong rains are coming. Timber set the perfect moisture balance in the house. If the moisture level rises, the wood absorbs excess, and when the air becomes too dry, gives them.
A log house can be used for more than 150-200 years if you look after it. It is affected by sunlight, temperature and rains, therefore, at least once every 20-3 years it is recommended to repain the outer walls. For the internal walls of the house, painting will be needed every 10-12 years.
We believe that the fact that natural materials are returned to modern construction processes is good news. The tree is simple and at the same time amazing and wonderful building material in the hands of a good carpenter. Thus, to build a magnificent hut with good qualities, you only need high -quality materials and professional builders.
