Cozy houses made of rounded or chopped logs are a classic of wooden architecture that can still be relevant today! Turnkey log houses, as well as, are distinguished by the strength and quality of the processing of the log house, and the unique pattern and texture of natural wood give the building an original Russian flavor.
Why choose a log house?
It is environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for health;
It is warm in winter and cool in summer;
Such a house is quickly built and saves you money;
This house is not afraid of fire after being treated with flame retardants.
How to decide on a project?
When choosing a particular project, you should consider:
land area;
number of people;
is there a built-in garage, if there is a car;
soil type;
frequency of residence - temporarily or permanently;
the presence of a veranda, terrace, balcony, etc.
Which rounded log is better?
When designing the walls of the house, the diameter of the log is taken into account. For baths and country houses we use logs with a diameter of 200-220 mm, and for residential premises - from 240 to 280 mm. Which log will be the best option for construction depends largely on the purpose and dimensions of your future home.
Technology of building a house from a log
When building a house, the specialists of the Faktura company calculate everything to the smallest detail. For construction work, we choose the highest quality equipment: we use only galvanized nails, and we lay 10 mm jute insulation between the crowns.

Houses made of logs- these are log cabins, the wall material for which is made using technical processing on the machine. Each log, which is sawn in our production, acquires the same diameter along the entire length, so the logs fit snugly against each other.
Arkhangelsk wood for the construction of log houses.
We produce log houses exclusively from Arkhangelsk wood, which has a high density and resin content. Northern wood is warmer, cracks less, has a unique texture and pink-orange color with contrasting veins. Northern wood is durable because the high resin content keeps it from rotting. Arkhangelsk pine is the best material for building log cabins.

Round log houses: video
Each of us has seen logs more than once and knows that this is a part of a tree trunk that has a rounded shape. What is a round log? This is milled lumber that has undergone factory processing on special installations. It has the same size and diameter along its entire length. Such a log is completely devoid of bark, cambium and knots. For the construction of residential buildings and other buildings, OCB, sawn from coniferous wood, is chosen. Spruce, pine, larch, cedar, etc. are well suited. It is divided into two main types: a log of natural moisture and chamber drying. The material of natural humidity is a freshly sawn log that has undergone rounding. The humidity of such material ranges from 30 to 70%, depending on the time of year and growth. Kiln-dried lumber is dried artificially in special chambers. The moisture content of such material is low, up to 8%, but the drying process is quite expensive.
Production technology
Now a little about how OCB is made. In sawmills, a sufficient amount of raw material (wood) is first harvested. Further, these trunks are disassembled by diameter and fed to special machines, where the bark and cambium are removed from them.
The following types of machines are used for work:
- turning and milling;
- walk-throughs;
- cutting "bowls";
- long and center.
After rounding, the logs are cut into pieces for the house with the help of special saws (circular and chain). Then longitudinal grooves and “cups” are cut into them for ease of installation, structural stability and heat insulation. Next, the lumber is covered with antiseptics that protect the wood from blue, mold and fungus.
Then, the ready-made parts of the house are marked, placed in packaging bags and already in this form are sent to facilities and warehouses.
Advantages and disadvantages of the OCB
Wood is an undeniably good building material with a lot of advantages:
- It is an environmentally friendly, natural material.
- It retains heat well.
- The wood has a pleasant aroma and a beautiful pattern.
- The walls of such a house do not need additional processing. It is enough to sand them and open them with varnish (transparent or colored).
- A special microclimate is created inside the building. It breathes easily and makes you feel better.
- Wooden houses, especially log houses, are amazingly beautiful. They look expensive and spectacular, attracting attention.
But such buildings are not without drawbacks. Some of them are weightless, and yet they are:
- The tree is afraid of water and fire. True, today there are special impregnations that increase the resistance of the material to these factors.
- Wood is susceptible to biological corrosion (insects, rodents, mold, fungi). However, there are means to combat this shortcoming.
- Shrinkage processes. A problem that affects all wooden buildings without exception. Somewhere they go faster, somewhere slower.
Stages of housing construction from this material
Now consider the key features of the construction of buildings from logs. The first step in the construction of housing from the OCB, like any other, is the construction of a foundation for construction.
Since wooden houses are relatively light, there is no need to pour an expensive, massive foundation under the house. A pile foundation or a shallow tape foundation is well suited here.
The second stage is the actual construction of wooden walls. The crown after the crown is laid strictly parallel and connected to each other with the help of "cups". Between the crowns, as a rule, a heat insulator is laid.
If the walls of the house were erected from a log of natural moisture, it is necessary to wait for its shrinkage within 4-6 months. If you used a dry log, then you can proceed to the next step.
When the walls are ready, proceed to the installation of the roof. The truss system and the frame for the roofing material are being equipped. Next, a set of measures is taken to waterproof and insulate the roof and cover the roofing. As a material, you can use bituminous tiles, metal tiles or ondulin.
Casing (pigtail) must be made, it will prevent warping and extrusion of windows and doors, making them independent of the shrinkage processes of the walls.
At the end of construction, the walls are thoroughly sanded and varnished. Then you can carry out all the interior finishing work and arrangement of the premises of the house.
Good luck with your homebuilding and a speedy housewarming!
Wooden houses are at the peak of popularity today, and all because people understand the great importance of ecological housing. The Russian mansions company offers out-of-town construction of wooden houses according to standard and individual projects. Here are some tips for future tree house owners.
Choosing a place for construction
It is important to choose the right place for your home.
In order not to get confused when choosing, clearly formulate your wishes: the price of land, an ecological stop, the presence of a reservoir or forest, location on a plain or in the mountains, proximity to points of civilization.
What type of wood is best for building?
In the first place on merit is cedar. Amazing smell, healing effect and beauty of cedar logs make it very popular.
Wooden houses made of larch are also quite durable. After processing, the logs have a beautiful texture and an aesthetic appearance that does not require additional finishing.
Pine, although a softer wood than cedar or larch, is also great for building a strong and secure home.
What forest is better?
Almost everyone who has just begun to learn information about wooden houses hears that it is best to use a winter forest for construction.
The Russian Mansions company uses winter wood cut down in the Kirov forests, which are famous for their spruces and pines.
In addition to the time of felling, the geography of wood growth is also of considerable importance. In the northern latitudes, where the forests of the Kirov region are located, trees grow slowly and therefore they have rather narrow annual rings, which gives very high strength, incomparable with the wood of the southern regions.
Types of manual felling
In modern housing construction, two types of manual cutting are used. Both types of technology were borrowed from Russian architects, who successfully used them for many centuries.
Building a house: crown after crown
At the first stage of building a wooden house, logs are placed in a log house. In this case, the logs are fastened with "locks" - special connections, which can be of different types. One row is called a crown.
The lowest row is called the salary and temporary linings are placed under it. A lower trim is mounted on the lower crown, into which transverse beams are cut - logs. It is the logs that become the basis for the flooring.
Particular attention should be paid to the lower crown, because it is he who most often rots.

Roof of a wooden house
Here, the choice is simply huge, ranging from wooden roofing (shingles), which is made from natural larch or cedar wood, to inexpensive soft roofing.
Wooden houses from rounded logs are:
- Natural beauty.
- Natural beauty. The walls retain a natural wooden texture, which is not customary to cover with covering compositions.
- Healthy atmosphere. Breathable walls create a unique atmosphere in the rooms. Humidity is automatically maintained at a level comfortable for human health - 60-70%.
- Ecological purity. For processing logs and finishing log cabins, we use environmentally friendly materials that have a world-class hygienic certificate.
- All the benefits of log cabins. Despite the industrial processing, rounded log houses have the same operational parameters as hand-cut log cabins. But the cost and speed of construction are many times less.
- Energy efficiency. The building has good sound and heat insulation. This is possible due to the precise fit of the log and the observance of SNIP during construction.
- Saving. Buildings are lighter than brick, which reduces the cost of laying the foundation. The foundation is almost half of all construction costs.
- High assembly speed. Construction of houses from the rounded log takes a minimum of time. This is possible due to the precise cutting of the logs - the set is simply assembled on the site, without laborious adjustment of the logs.
There are several types of machines, each of which has its own characteristics:
- with a movable cutter;
- with a stationary cutter and with a spindle; with rotary mechanism.
Two other methods increase production volumes, the appearance of such baths and houses made of logs does not differ from the first, but the percentage of defective round timber in this case is greater.
Our production is equipped with modern machines of the American company SHERWOOD, which is the market leader in woodworking machines.
Over the years of work, we have developed the optimal tactics for combining breeds, which is the "golden mean" according to the "price / quality" criteria.
- FIRST TWO CROWN - from moisture resistant larch. The crown crown is the weakest point of the log house. Therefore, it is advisable to make it from larch.
- WALLS - from pine, which will reduce the total amount of the estimate.
- SEVERAL TOP CROWNS in the area of the bedrooms made of cedar, which will add aroma and enhance the beneficial effects of the log house on health.
The choice of lumber depends on the size and purpose of the future home, the characteristics of the soil and the climatic conditions of the area. As a rule, log cabins are built from a tree of the same species. But a combination of logs from different woods can be a justified solution.
- PINE is cheaper than other types of wood, while being durable and resistant to decay. Subject to the technology and rules for the operation of a log house, pine houses serve up to 100 years.
- CEDAR is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity; insects do not live in a cedar house and food does not get moldy. The balsamic aroma of cedar improves mood, and therapeutic phytoncides have a beneficial effect on health.
- SIBERIAN LARCH is reliable and durable, it has a unique moisture resistance. When working with it, intensive antiseptic treatment is not required. But the logs from it are the heaviest, and therefore require a more massive foundation. Over time, larch acquires the properties of a stone, so you immediately need to do the finish "for centuries", because in ten years you will not be able to drive even a small nail into the walls of larch.
