The original uneven shape and natural cut pattern become a distinctive feature of any project and a unique design solution. In addition, only chopped logs can reach a length of 12 meters, which makes it possible to use in complex architectural projects with large load-bearing structures, for example, house projects with a second light, with large windows non-standard shape. A log house with a second light is just one of the many architectural solutions inherent in projects made from this material.

Since wood "breathes", an optimal microclimate is always maintained inside the house, with a level of humidity that is comfortable for a person and his health. Properly processed hand-cut wood perfectly resists moisture, blue discoloration, insect and fungus damage. Chopped houses made from species such as cedar and larch seem to be completely immune to the inexorable influence of time. At the same time, an atmosphere unique in its properties is created in the rooms, 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 to enjoy the healing effect of the created atmosphere.

About materials for the construction of a log house

In the construction of any project of a house made of chopped logs, only natural materials are used, including insulation and connecting elements. Thus, it is possible to practically exclude the impact on a person of artificial building materials. After all, they often contain harmful compounds, up to carcinogens that stimulate the development of oncological diseases.

To seal the interconnection joints of the house project, flax or jute is laid from chopped logs into the grooves. There are several types of materials with different properties, including different ease of installation. Common 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 turnkey our company "Vityaz-Stroy" work is done 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 tool... Thus, it is possible to preserve the natural protective layer of wood, which significantly affects the durability of the entire structure. In addition, a log house acquires a very special appearance, distinguished by its originality and good taste.

Conifers are used as wood species that most often act as materials for projects of houses with a second light. Spruce and pine are quite common among other species, in harvested logs. This is the reason for their availability. The properties of these materials are less pronounced than those of such species as cedar and larch. They are not as dense, but light enough, and therefore reduce the load on the foundation.

More expensive logs will not be affected by the harmful effects of natural factors and microorganisms. Cedar is distinguished by its medically recognized benefits of antioxidants, which practically do not fade over time. Larch is very dense, and when exposed to moisture, its structure is further strengthened.

Among the projects of our company, log houses with a second light are especially popular, which will serve for many years and delight you both when building them from pine, and from cedar or larch. These include "Repin", "Aivazovsky" and other original projects, which you can familiarize yourself with on our website.

• due to the lack of overlap, the room becomes more spacious (allowing, for example, to place a winter garden with tall ornamental trees there);
• in the room where the second light is made, the intensity of natural light increases. The latter advantage can be accentuated and enhanced by increasing the glazing area. Moreover, the second light is usually brought out to the side that is exposed to increased insolation;
• growth of presentability and aesthetics of the premises due to the high ceilings;

ORDER A HOUSE

Do you want a wooden house?

Homeowners who choose houses and cottages with a second light are immediately faced with the question of the functional purpose of the premises with this architectural solution. As a rule, this is a living room with or without a fireplace, a winter garden with appropriate landscaping, very rarely - an empty hall with a staircase and multi-level lighting.

But with all these advantages that are characteristic of this architectural technique, it is not a panacea for ennobling the appearance of any private house. In addition to many advantages, the second light also has certain disadvantages, including:

• an obvious loss of usable area, which was provided to the upper floor by the part of the ceiling removed when the second light was made;
• additional heat loss, since the room with high ceilings harder to heat;
• certain technological difficulties if a second light is performed in a wooden house from a log.

Speaking of cottage projects with a second light, one cannot fail to note the increased acoustics of such a room. This factor cannot be unequivocally attributed either to the number of strengths or to the number of disadvantages of the second light - it all depends on which functional room is on the ground floor and what kind of rooms are adjacent to this “loud corner” of the log house. So, if live music (piano or guitar) sounds in the living room, then houses from a log with a second light will provide it with an improved sound. If the TV is working in the living room, then its sounds will be very audible in the rooms of the second or attic floor.
