In rooms with second light they usually make large beautiful windows on two floors, including an unusual shape, which add more light and a special architectural zest to such a room in a log house. And you shouldn’t believe the talk that the second light will make the room cold, and you will have to spend more money for heating.

A log house has particularly low thermal conductivity, so even in the harshest Russian winters in order to heat big house with the second light, only a warm floor on the first floor or a standard competent heating system with radiators will be enough. In addition, you can bring warmth and comfort into the living room of a log house with a second light using a large beautiful fireplace, which in such an interior looks especially harmonious and stylish. So atmospheric and, at the same time, functional element design will not go unnoticed by your guests and will encourage everyone to have a hearty tea party around the fireplace.

The original uneven shape and natural pattern on the cut become distinctive feature any project and unique design solution.

3 Any project of a log house with a second light, for example, our “Levitan” and “Benoit”, is distinguished by a set of characteristics inherent in the material as a whole. Since wood “breathes,” an optimal microclimate is always maintained inside the house, with a humidity level that is comfortable for humans and their health. Properly processed hand-cut wood perfectly resists moisture, blueing, and damage from insects and fungi. Log houses made of such species as cedar and larch seem to be completely unaffected by the inexorable action of time. At the same time, an atmosphere unique in its properties is created in the premises, due to the fact that the material releases antioxidants and saturates the air with the aromas of resins. This factor will be appreciated by city dwellers, because it not only allows you to cleanse your lungs, but also enjoy the healing effects of the created atmosphere. One of the first benefits that the happy owners of a log house project experience is a general improvement in well-being and sleep.

After all, they often contain harmful compounds, including carcinogens that stimulate the development of cancer.

To seal the inter-crown joints of a house project from chopped logs, flax or jute is laid in the grooves. There are several types of materials with various properties, including varying ease of installation. The common thing among them is that during construction it is necessary to caulk the log house several times, taking into account the shrinkage of the wood.

It is worth emphasizing that at all stages of construction wooden house On a turnkey basis, our company “Vityaz-Stroy” does the work manually. This is the only way a log house with a second light acquires its unique positive characteristics. For example, when removing bark from logs, craftsmen use a special hand tools. Thus, it is possible to preserve the natural protective layer wood, which significantly affects the durability of the entire structure. In addition, a log house acquires a very special appearance, distinguished by originality and good taste.

This determines their availability. The properties of these materials are less pronounced than those of species such as cedar and larch. They are not so dense, but quite light, and therefore reduce the load on the foundation.

Logs of more expensive species will not be subject to the harmful effects of natural factors and microorganisms. Cedar is distinguished by its medically recognized benefits from antioxidants, which practically do not erode over time. Larch is very dense, and when exposed to moisture, its structure strengthens even more.
