Log Houses

Building your house is probably one of the biggest projects you will ever have to undertake. But ask yourself this, why do a large proportion of people in the world choose to live in log homes? The answer is simple; because it works. It works because timber is a natural product and unlike bricks and mortar or even timber framed houses, log houses 'breath'.

This means that you have a more natural environment in which to live. This results in your home working as a big air conditioner, it regulates the moisture so becomes easier to heat in winter and keep cool in the summers. Unlike modern bricks and mortar houses, wood houses do not produce electrostatic charges that raise and produce dust, so is especially welcome by allergy sufferers.

Sound insulation on our log building is FAR better than dense concrete products due to the structure of the wood, this means noise outside, stays outside. For more information on insulation, sound insulation, fire protection and u-values please request on our enquiries page or phone the office for a wood guide or see the new part L of the Building Regulations and part E acoustic insultation.

We have built a pair of log houses in rural Dorset. The bungalow being made of round log and the two storey house made from 180mm flat log. These houses come from our factory in Finland that has been manufacturing log houses for half a century and is the largest manufacturer of real log houses in the world. Our factory in Finland uses only the finest logs from the northern parts of Russia and Finland. The factory has been in the same family for over half a century. We use CAD aided design to best achieve the results you want.

Finlog can organise a trip to Finland to stay in a Finnish log house and a factory tour for those interested in the nuts and bolts of log house manufacturing.
