Healthy Living in a Log House
Indoor environments have a very important influence on health and wellbeing because people spend about 90% of their time indoors, either at home, at school or at work. That’s why every Kontio house is an example of healthy living. In fact, healthy living and wellbeing is the main focus our research and development work.
Kontio log houses are also designed to last. They are made from Arctic pine, which, because of its slow growth, contains a high percentage of heartwood. This heartwood is strong and durable and also has antibacterial properties. Kontio's homes are made from massive, completely natural wood, and our structures are designed to prevent the condensation of moisture, even in variable temperatures and conditions.
Long-lasting with Durable Arctic Pine
Log house building has a long history and the oldest log houses in Scandinavia are 800 years old. A special type of wood is the secret behind the longevity of these grand old wooden houses – northern slow-growth pine. Kontio houses are made from the same special kind of wood – Kontio Arctic Pine. This grows close to the Arctic Circle in the clean forests of Northern Finland and its slow growth maximises the amount of extremely durable heartwood in every log. Arctic pine heartwood is far more durable than that found in southern trees and in species like spruce.
Kontio Arctic Pine is responsibly sourced and comes from sustainably managed Finnish forests, where more wood grows than is harvested each year.
