Honka logs — the heart of your home

Logs are chosen based on the purpose of the building and personal preference. The chosen log also affects the overall architecture of a Honka house. Honka square logs can be used for any traditional or contemporary log home. If you want to create a contemporary design with urban, minimalistic details, then your choice is the non-settling Honka Fusion log.

Honka Square logs

Honka square logs are kiln-dried and multi-laminated, resulting in straight and true timbers. They are manufactured from two to eight lamellas using an adhesive that retains the wood’s natural ability to breathe. The bonding joints, undetectable to the naked eye, breathe by allowing water vapour to permeate right through them, meaning they do not form a compact plastic film inside the wood structure.

Non-settling Honka fusion logs

Our innovation, the non-settling Honka Fusion log, makes it possible to easily incorporate other materials and large glass elements into log wall structures. The solution is based on minimizing the effects of settling with vertical middle layers of laminated logs. The non-settling characteristic is achieved by using a vertical middle lamella and a Wood-On-Wood profile, tight bolting that eliminates installation clearances and a special drying process. The thin seam formed by the log profile creates a modern appearance both inside and outside of the house.

Corner types

Cross corners are characteristic to log houses, but many people feel they are a feature of rural landscapes. Our clearly defined, minimalistic Honka Zero Corner™ concept produces log houses that are at ease even in the most urban environments. With the layered wall structures the corner notches are only visible from the inside or the outside, depending on which side the insulation is installed on.

Variety of cladding options

With our low-energy walls, exterior cladding is needed and the designs can be chosen freely to achieve the desired look. You can choose a panel that matches your chosen logs. Outside panelling can also be achieved with a variety of wood panels, plywood or boards. Even rendered surfaces are possible with the non-settling Honka Fusion structures.

Roof shapes

The type of roof can have a significant effect on the look of your house. On contemporary houses, the roof types tend to be simple and clear cut. On traditional houses you can find more variation and more complex shapes.

Interior walls

Log houses get their characteristic look from the material they are made of: natural wood. The entire interior does not have to be wooden though. Partition walls can be made of lightweight materials and covered with wallpaper, for example. The log walls can be stained and treated in many different ways.

Energy-efficient triple-glazed windows are included in our standard deliveries. In standard deliveries, the windows are painted white both inside and out. You can also select special colours and the windows can also be in different colours on the inside and the outside. Accessories such as detachable lattices and insect screens are also available.

Sliding doors

Sliding doors offer panoramic views and provide an excellent interface between indoor and outdoor spaces and allow the efficient use of space.

Doors

You can choose the exterior doors from a variety of options and styles. A genuine massive wood house almost requires a solid wooden door. Our range also includes Thermo doors, which are known for their excellent energy efficiency.
