Individual designing
Yes. Most of our log homes are of individual design.
Yes. Our company specializes in designing individual log homes.
Sales of log homes
Yes. We export log houses all around the Europe.
Yes. If doing so, our company will present a Self-assembling Guidebook consisting of all necessary drawings to assemble the materials purchased. Also, we will consult you in all matters while you are assembling a log kit.
You can also hire one of our supervisors to come over and guide you or your local workers during assembling.
Usually it is 8-12 weeks. Hand-crafted log profiles might take longer.
Exact terms are to be set by a separate agreement!

Yes, of course.
You can get in contact with some of the buyers of our log houses. Go to section "Our houses".
Maintenance and features of wood
Yes. Any wood product has to be treated to ensure long life and to maintain the beauty of the wood.
Our company usually delivers untreated logs. So you have to paint it or use any other treatment after the logs have been assembled.
Contact your local paint supplier for more information.
If an area has a strong termite population, it will be advantageous to provide termite shields on the foundation wall. This may be even required by law. If not, it is an inexpensive means against these pests. We also recommend that the ground be treated when your home is being constructed.
We deliver only kiln dried logs. Kiln drying is a very important factor in the prevention of insects. During the kiln drying process any resident insects will be killed along with their larvae.
Contact your local paint supplier for more information about any preservatives.
A log house must be constructed according to special methods to allow for some amount of settlement that can be expected to occur. When a log dries, it shrinks therefore allowance for the shrinkage must be taken in mind. Due to this fact, the gaps above the windows and doors are left as well as other technical solutions applied.
Check our construction drawings to see how we build log homes.
It is a material's capacity to absorb, store and slowly release heat over the time. Logs do this well. Logs have thermal mass because of their cellular structure, bulk, and thickness. Logs store energy, in a physical sense much like batteries store energy in a chemical sense. In summer during the day logs slowly absorb sun energy while during the night in the same way it is slowly released. It happens due to above mentioned cellular structure which does not allow to transfer heat through the logs immediately just the temperature outside has changed. It clearly explains why thermal mass keeps the log home warmer in freezing winter and cooler in hot summer enabling to avoid using air-conditioner at all.
The major advantages of log houses are its speed of erection, excellent thermal efficiency and of course its considerable advantages over traditional building methods where environmental issues are concerned.
Most local building authorities require specific "R-Values" or thermal resistance values for the walls, ceilings and floors of houses. “R-Values” are recognized by most professionals to be a reliable indication of the thermal performance of a material when interior and exterior temperatures are constant. But these are not the conditions that exist in the "real world," where outdoor temperature varies widely during a typical day-night cycle. To obtain a true rating of building's thermal efficiency in these conditions, building authorities must also consider the "mass effect" of heavy weight (log) walls.
