The construction of a traditional Finnish house begins with the procedure of choosing and processing wood.  It is well-known that wood is the main construction material used by the Finnish for building detached houses.

Residents of this northern country with severe winters, high humidity and other climatic peculiarities give their preference to wooden houses with high levels of energy efficiency, reliability and longevity.

Traditional Finnish houses are mainly built from glued beams but sometimes rounded logs are also used.

These materials undergo special processing and polishing thanks to which we get an ideal surface with a beautiful wood texture which does not require any additional decorative work except from covering it with wood protection coating. Due to the natural warmth of a wooden house there is no need for additional insulation which saves materials, time and money.

A wooden house can be assembled in just a few days thanks to special cutting schemes used in our plants.

Projects are usually developed by our local architects, while our Finnish colleagues send us the cutting schemes of logs and beams.  This enables us to reduce the time necessary for the production of a house set and the construction process.

Generally, Finnish houses are not tall; they have a terrace, a balcony and a simple but solid roof. They are mainly one-storey, sometimes with a mansard roof.

To conserve heat and save on heating bills, the Finish reject spacious rooms and high ceiling and often replace a mansard roof with an attic.

The distinguishing features of these houses are strictness, precision and laconism. Large windows are often used on the main façade to fill the living-rooms with sunlight.  White color is traditionally chosen for curtain poles, doors and windows. The main color of painting the house can be beige, brown, light-green, light-grey or Carmine.

A  Finnish sauna is usually situated inside the house. Unlike Russian bathhouses, these saunas do not require either high level of humidity or high temperatures and use electric ovens. So, if you are planning to build a traditional Russian bathhouse, you should definitely do it separately from your house.

Another peculiarity of Finnish houses is split-level floor. For example, the hall has a built-in cellar.
