Log houses

Your house reliability is essential. What does reliability consist of? Resistance to the environment’s harshest conditions:
– snow, even in the snowiest years;
– the wind, including hurricanes;
– rain showers;
– extreme frost.
EcoHouseMart logs and fastening elements bear all the load of the house. Our log houses are solid and remain reliable for decades.

A 10-year house kit warranty is not empty words. Behind this are smart solutions that keep all elements of the house in working condition for a long time. The lifetime of a house is most affected by moisture, which affects all structures. Moisture appears in the form of precipitation and in the form of condensation inside the house. Therefore, ventilation of wet areas and proper selection of vapor barrier films are crucial. We have developed special roof structures that additionally protect rafters, insulation, and logs from getting wet. In addition, annual checks by professionals are required to prevent premature aging and maintain the house in perfect condition for many years to come.

It is known that many construction materials can cause allergic reactions, especially among children. However, wood is a natural and environmentally friendly product that does not have a negative effect on the human body, unlike other materials.
We use safe adhesive by Akzo Nobel to produce glued laminated timber. This adhesive doesn’t contain formaldehyde and conforms to the international standards and requirements. A similar adhesive is used to produce woodenware and children’s furniture. The thickness of a glue seal is only 0,3 mm, therefore the adhesive is inside the beam and doesn’t contact with room air.

Our logs have high heat-insulating characteristics. Wooden walls accumulate warm air and evenly allocate it indoors, keeping the optimum balance of humidity. Heating a log house is quick and easy in the winter and it will never get too hot during the summer. Therefore log houses are ideal both for permanent residence and for the weekend or holiday stay.
EcoHouseMart log house durability is higher than that of a full-log house. Wood compression is a result of gluing the graded lamellas under the pressure. That’s why the laminated log structure of the house has perfect geometry and increased load-bearing capacity.

Wood is a completely renewable natural resource. In addition, laminated log production requires 50% less energy consumption than concrete production and 80% less than brick production, therefore air pollution is very low.

EcoHouseMart logs have all the natural qualities of wood including natural air exchange and vapor permeability. And that is the reason we can tell our wooden houses “breathe”. This ability of wood allows passing outside any harmful gasses that may become present indoors.
