When you want more than tradition with your timber house, read through this informative booklet. After that you will understand why thousands of quality-conscious customers all over the world have chosen a Lapponia house for their log home.

NEVER SETTLING STRUCTURE

The settlement of a conventional log wall can cause many unpleasant surprises. To avoid this, builders have usually left a big enough margin for settlement above windows, doors and intermediate walls. However, this is not always enough as external wall exposed to south and internal walls usually shrink more than other walls. As the first log house manufacturer, Lapponia House has introduced a 120 mm and 170 mm timberframe and 170 mm in its thermo log houses. This kind of wall will not settle a centimetre. The owner can decorate the house with freely chosen materials from tiles to wallpapers. The fixed furniture can reach up to the ceiling. No margins for settlement are needed.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL

The wood we use is close-grained red pine of Northern Finland. Log corners are heart timber.

DRAUGHTLESS AND SOUNDPROOF WALLS

A windbreak board, used within a wall, prevents wind from blowing through the thermal insulation. The thick thermal insulation acts also as superb sound insulation.

NO CRACKS OR SPLITS

Massive log walls split and crack almost always. The cracks inside collect dirt and dust. Outside they get filled with water, which can cause rot and mould damages during the years. This annoying problem does not appear in the walls of Lapponia houses.

SELF-VENTILATING WALL CONSTRUCTION

When building a wall, a ventilation gap should be left between insulation and the siding. Insulation is never to be fastened straight against siding. Behind of siding there is a ventilation gap. It reaches from the foundation up to the roof. Moisture is evaporated to open air from the wall structure. This ensures dry and long-lasting wall structure.

PREFABRICATED THERMO LOG HOME

Lapponia houses are delivered to a high degree prefabricated, which enables a rapid and easy erection of the house. Most items from external walls and gable triangles to sauna benches are sent as large wall units or otherwise ready-made.

ECONOMIC SOLUTION

The delivery as complete in material as possible, prefab technology, and low-cost use and preparation make Lapponia house an economic solution for the buyer.

BREATHING INSULATION ALTERNATIVE

A good alternative for the insulation material of your house could be cellulose fibre insulation. Since it is a breathing material, it is very suitable for insulating a thermo log house.

LAPPONIA HOUSES KEEP THEIR VALUE
