Wood houses mean prestigious, eco-friendly and healthy home. Wood is a durable building material. Properly notched and maintained houses can stand centuries. There are 600-700 years’ houses still standing in Lithuania, Scandinavian countries and Siberia. Wood house, built in accordance with modern technologies, will be eco-friendly, cosy and durable.
Wood is a natural, human healthy and eco friendly material. It is healthy to live in a wood house, as softwood used for wood house building is Resin remaining in softwood logs positively impacts on the respiratory tract and lungs of people living in such homes.

Wood houses keep natural humidity balance inside the house. If indoor humidity level increases, timber walls start “drinking” it. If it is too dry, wood will bring the absorbed moisture back. This way, humidity inside a log houses will always remain the same as it is outside. Contrary to other types of houses, the weather does not become dry in log homes. Logs feature to accumulate excessive moisture and to return it, helps to keep the optimal room temperature. Log homes breathe, and that is why there is no need to have air-conditioning systems, as natural ventilation works through the walls.
Logs have high heat storage capacity. Wooden walls store warmth and gradually distribute it in all room. If you touch wood, it is never cold and its surface temperature is similar to that of a room temperature. This conditions comfort inside a house. That is why it will be warm in a log home even in the biggest frost. Log homes warm up sooner and retain warmth longer compared to brick houses.
Due to the mentioned thermal properties of wood, log homes are cool in hot seasons. Log homes are a perfect solution in hot-climate regions.Wood is a natural insulator and is very effective in isolating cold and heat. This means a saving a significant amount of energy when compared to stone, concrete and brick houses. As well as being a good thermal insulator, wood is also an excellent noise absorber, making wooden houses warm, relaxing and peaceful.
Economically efficientBecause of the way these types of buildings are constructed and the careful planning of their construction, they are quick to build when compared to buildings made from materials such as stone or concrete. This fast build represents a significant monetary saving.
