LAMINATED LOG OFFICES AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS |
| |
| |
We offer one of the widest range of Laminated Log industrial building solutions, using a variety of technologies and materials. |

|

Laminated logs are made by gluing together two or more layers of wood, so that heartwood will be left on the outside of the log. We like to say that in our houses both the walls of the house as well as the people living in it have a heart in its place.
Thanks to its unique structure, laminated logs are durable and do not twist or crack.
Changing seasons and weather conditions establish some strict requirements for building materials. Wood is a hygroscopic material. In practice this means that wood is capable of absorbing heat. Laminated log houses are warm in the winter and cool in the heat of summer. In other words, wood insulates and absorbs heat.

A good working environment provides a basis for a good and profitable workforce. Log buildings radiates warmth in the winter and a cool atmosphere in the summer.
Genuine Laminated log buildings are as strong if not stronger than steel buildings and far more environmentally friendly.
Unbiased advice is given as to the right building solution, or combination of solutions, that is most appropriate to your needs.

Manufacturing of Log buildings |
|
|
| |
- The manufacturing process of laminated logs ensures that they will not twist or crack like ordinary round or planed logs do, thanks to cutting-edge production technology; the settling of laminated log walls is minimal.
- Manufacturing moisture content of logs is approximately 13%. Therefore post-production shrinkage is very minimal.

Compared to other types of buildings, laminated log buildings can boast with superior characteristics. No vapour barriers are installed in to the wall structures of laminated log structures. The walls of a laminated log buildings "breathe", keeping indoor air healthy.
Optimum air moisture content keeps bacteria, fungus, viruses and house dust mites at bay. The indoor air quality in a log structure makes it an ideal choice especially for families with allergies or lung infections.
Complex structural solutions and artificial materials cause new problems for builders. Modern log structures are of superior quality, providing a safe and natural alternative. A laminated log building is a product of high quality!

|
|
| |
Due to their unique structure, laminated logs last and remain unchanged.
|
|
|
| |
The continuing design belief is that any building should be quick to build, clean on site, offer practical design and economic solutions, achieve permanence and have an appearance welcomed by users and planners.

Life
Life and working is good in a log office or factory. Wood is genuine, living and renewable. It is nature's own material, which gains its strength from the sun and draws its nourishment from the ground. We offer excellent laminated logs made from Finnish pine and spruce- excellent material for your company offices. Wood and nature's own colours create an atmosphere, which can only be found in a genuine log office. |

Quality Control - The manufactures have signed a quality control agreement, (LH02,8.11.96) with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
- Laminated log production has been awarded a VTT certificate. Continuous quality control ensures the uncompromising quality of these laminated logs.

| Timber Drying |
 |
|
|
The factory has its own heating plant that is fuelled by wood chips from production. The heating plant produces all the heat needed in the drying plant and the production buildings. Wood is an ecological fuel, with minimal environmental emissions.
Drying takes place at the company's drying plant, which has six compartment kilns, the drying system is time-based using calculation formulas that take into consideration relative moisture, temperature and time.
As an aid in the development of the drying formulas, they use a simulation programme developed by VTT (The Technical Research Centre of Finland), moisture samples are taken regularly, the persons responsible for the drying plant have completed a training course for drying plant managers. |
|
|
| |
The raw material used is Finnish pine and spruce sorted in compliance with Scandinavian regulations for sawn timber. |
|
|
| |
Laminated logs are glued in a production hall in which temperature and moisture are regulated by an automatic control system.
Before gluing, the moisture level of the wood is checked. Samples are taken from every gluing batch for a delamination test. The test results are reported to VTT (The Technical Research Centre of Finland) in compliance with the quality control agreement. The person responsible for gluing must have completed a training course in gluing. |
