Eco Log Houses don’t just look good, they’re good for your health, too. Eco log house is an expert in healthy wood houses and our R&D team works in research projects with leading specialists to develop innovations for well-being and healthy living. With our Eco Healthy Living™ programme, we’re building on 45 years of knowhow with healthy buildings.
Eco Log House uses genuine arctic pine as a raw material. Eco Log House Arctic Pine wood is strong, beautiful and long lasting, and it grows in the clean natural forests in Northern Finland far from cities and industry. It also has other properties which make it a superior choice of construction material. Eco Log House Arctic Pine contains many natural antibacterial substances, which give it resistance against moisture, mould and other harmful things. This makes Eco Log House houses durable and healthy, even in demanding rainy and moist conditions.
“These properties are valued by our customers, and, for example, Eco Log House has been chosen as a supplier for schools and public buildings specifically because we could provide buildings with good indoor air quality.”
In addition, people who live in log houses are the most satisfied with their air quality. A study in Finland showed that people living in log houses had a higher level of satisfaction with their indoor air quality compared to people living in brick or timber-frame houses. This is because wood has special properties that other building materials do not.
” Eco logs are a safe and healthy building material for indoor use, and they meet the M1 emission classification for building materials, which is the best possible. In this case, low emissions mean that the product does not emit harmful compounds or unpleasant odours, and the M1 label shows that the product has been found to be safe and that it has low emissions.”
Studies have shown that massive wood structures can have positive health effects, especially in school environments. In an Austrian study, the effect of different building materials on the heart rate of the students was studied. The results showed that the use of solid wood in classrooms could lower the heart rate, as well as reduce stress levels. Children in massive wooden classrooms had, on average, 8,600 heart beats fewer per day than children in a painted plasterboard classroom. The stress peak which is common in the morning hours also decreased soon after the students arrived at school and did not return.
In addition to being relaxing and beautiful to look at, Eco Log Houses also provide an excellent acoustic space with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Musicians throughout the years have often chosen to play in log houses due to their superior acoustics. Massive log walls diffuse sound, while also maintaining an even balance of tones without echo or distortion.
Wood is an excellence choice of building material because it is 100% renewable. And using wood instead of non-renewable materials means that the carbon footprint and environmental impact of a building are greatly reduced. By weight, wood mainly consists of water and carbon (in the form of cellulose). Through photosynthesis, a growing tree binds about one ton of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per cubic meter of wood, while simultaneously releasing oxygen into the air.
” Many tons of carbon dioxide are stored in every Eco Log House and structure. Each long-life Eco Log House is a “carbon sink” and a real eco-statement in the battle against climate change. Growing new forests continues this positive carbon dioxide binding cycle.”
