Advantages, benefits of log houses
Since the natural form of the tree is preserved in log houses and the overlapping bark structure in the middle axis part is not damaged, it provides a great advantage in terms of high strength, durability and resistance to fire situations, since external factors cannot reach these parts.
Log houses are more affordable and visually pleasing than normal houses. In addition, since log houses are environmentally friendly, they also contribute to recycling. They are more affordable than concrete houses, you can get an idea about the prices of log houses by researching on the internet sites.
Log houses are long-lasting and durable. It is possible to see a hundred-year-old log house. Log houses with many advantages reflect the warmth of the tree. They provide good heat and sound insulation. Log houses provide a much stronger insulation compared to steel, reinforced concrete and stone building materials due to their cellular structures. Log house walls do not absorb heat, but rather reflect it. Therefore, while the ideal temperature is 22 in a reinforced concrete house, 18 degrees in a log house is sufficient. In concrete structures that have not been heated for a long time, the heating of the house is approximately 6 hours, while it is possible to heat the log house in 1 hour. This feature is very advantageous especially in holiday homes that are used only on weekends for a limited period of time. Log houses are the ideal choice for a house that has a warm environment both visually and physically, resistant to earthquakes and external factors.
The walls in solid log houses are electrostatically and electromagnetically neutral, so they do not cause additional radiation like concrete walls, and they also provide a great advantage by absorbing the radiation emitted by electronic devices, mobile phones, wireless internet devices in the interior. Considering the harms of technology, this is a great positive factor for human health.
