Living in a log house

Log house is good to breathe in!

According to recent research results, a log house has a very good indoor air. The insulation capacity of log is excellent, and it efficiently evens out heat and moisture in indoor air. Log binds moisture and evenly releases it back into indoor air during drier seasons (IBP Report HTB-04/2004/e, Moisture buffering effects of interior linings made from wood or wood based products).

Log also evens out temperature variations. In summer a log house stays cool, and in winter agreeably warm. During autumn and spring, log also collects energy from sunlight. 

Log is an individual and beautiful construction material that you can use in decoration to create a natural and warm wood surface. It gives your house an inimitably valuable and personal spirit.
A log building structures with its heat and humidity balancing properties ensures that the relative humidity of indoor air almost always remains within the optimal range in terms of indoor air quality (relative humidity 30 – 55%). Deviations from this humidity range considerably increase dust, viruses and bacteria in indoor air.
