Superior thermal log structure

The PolarHouse thermal log house is an unrivalled solution as compared with an ordinary log house: it has superb thermal insulation and is thus an energy-economic alternative.

The PolarHouse thermal log house combines the robust elegance of a traditional log house with modern prefabricated element structures. The log appearance comes from large log-panelled elements and robust log corners. The wall elements are manufactured at the factory so they are protected from weather changes. The interior wall surfaces can also be coated with boarding instead of log panelling.
