Wood and man – an ancient relationship

Positive life cycle assessment

For centuries, wood has proven itself as a building material in its most original form. In cold and warm regions, wooden houses have been and are being built – an unmistakable sign of optimal room climate compensation in cold and heat.

Breathe in at last

We spend about 90 of our lives indoors. The indoor air quality in log houses is noticeably better than in conventional buildings. One of the decisive criteria for the construction of a wooden house is the room climate compensation due to the property of the wood to absorb and release moisture. The air exchange must not be impeded by foils or varnishes.

Wood has a large pore space. The surface of the wood absorbs “bad” air and releases it to the outside. Conversely, the air exchange of “fresh” air is carried out inwards. The pore space of the wood filters and cleans the air. Wood has a fresh, pleasant smell by nature and has a positive eco-balance.

Homely and comfortable climate = healthy living climate

Environmentally conscious living

Wood is open-pored and therefore low thermally conductive. The wood surfaces are in a relatively stable and physiologically pleasant heat balance with the room temperature.

In an ideal way, wooden ceilings/walls/floors meet the room-climatic requirement that air and surface temperatures should be the same and that a room should be heated primarily by radiant heat. The “feeling” temperatures and the personal feeling of comfort are on average about 3 to 4 degrees Celsius below the “usual” room temperatures.

This is very beneficial to health and reduces heating costs! The temperature alignment of room air and surfaces requires less air circulation – no draught, no swirling of dust, germs, etc.

In addition to the many positive achievements of the 21st century, issues such as pollution and climate change are unfortunately also at the heart of our time. Our concept of energy- and thus environmentally conscious housing is convincing in improving living standards and reducing energy costs. After years of development and research, we have set new standards and standards with our patented block house system.

CO2-zero house

Despite this insulation, our log cabin still needs energy for hot water and heat generation, especially in the winter months. Since oil and gas as fossil fuels are not ecologically harmless (CO2 emissions), we opted for another, completely harmless energy source: the sun. The efficient use of this energy source is carried out by the soil heated by the sun. For our ecological Nordic log houses, this means in concrete terms:

Depending on the size of the house floor area, collectors are laid in the ground at a depth of 80 cm. The heat pump works similarly to a commercially available refrigerator and drains the energy from the earth. This works in summer as well as in winter, because at the depth of 80 cm there is always a sufficient temperature difference to the outside temperature. By combining heat pump system and green electricity, we get a CO2 zero house! In this way, we gain heating power.

In addition, e.g. the connection costs for the gas supply and we do not need a chimney. The systems, which are somewhat more complex in the purchase, pay off much faster than other ecological heating systems and are additionally supported by the state.

Energy-saving concept

Our energy-saving concept saves our environment and your wallet! For the construction of our log houses we use only deposited and technically dried Finnish polar pines.

The natural properties of the material combined with the patented wall construction provide an insulating layer with a heat transfer value (U-value) of only 0.19 W/m2K at 140 mm insulation or 0.26 at 105 mm insulation. Our customers save valuable heating energy!
