Honka log houses are manufactured in Finland, from Finnish pine that comes from PEFC-certified Finnish forests. One of the greatest things about Finland is its abundance of trees. In fact, more wood grows in Finnish forests than is harvested. We never buy wood from protected regions.

Yes. The PEFC certification guarantees that for each tree felled to build the house, a new sapling was planted, and in time these saplings will grow into a new forest. In Finland, the natural growth of forests far exceeds the number of trees cut down.

You can choose practically any feasible energy solution for your log home. Solar panels, geothermal heat pumps, air source heat pumps, fireplaces and combinations of these are some of the popular choices by our customers. Just ask for further information from your local Honka representative.

There are examples of log homes around the world that are hundreds of years old. Provided that they are well maintained, the Honka log homes are designed to last for generations.

Log buildings perform well in a fire due to the natural charring of the surface of the wood which protects it. In the event of a fire, a log house will not burn like a timber frame house, but will in fact only char due to the sheer mass of the logs themselves. In direct comparison with steel, wood can cope much longer in a fire before collapsing.
