In nowadays it is popular to look for log cabins in holiday time. These buildings are known everywhere in the world. In Scandinavian countries, United Kingdom, Baltic countries when you go to the mountains, other places in nature or rural areas and live in a log cabin - it is called a rural tourism. There you can have active leisure, take a rest from routine, relax and have a beautiful moments. But it is strange that there is less people who thinks about buying their own log cabin. But why? Maybe they just do not know why it is great to have one. I will try to present all benefits of these wooden houses.

Firstly log cabin is one of the most organic and stable building which stands still in every seasons. It is used only one material in building here - wood. If it is build from technologically well prepared wood - log cabin will be lasting. It will not deform if there would be affect with load. After earthquake in Kioto, Japan, a lot of undestroyed houses which had left - was made form logs.

It could be build very quickly. If you use easy collecting elements, wooden constructions could be assembled very quickly. You can build a log cabin in all seasons. It is not need any massive substruction, so it makes building faster too. Log cabin could be decorated straightway after mounting.

Low thermal conductivity. It needs less expenditure for house heating. Without heating in eight hours time temperature falls down only one degree.

It is not need to install specific ventilation or conditioning system in log cabin, because House is „breathing" by itself and do natural ventilation. In this type of building you will not have any uncomfortable dry feeling. And when it is raining outside you will not feel any humidity excess. Wood well supports humidity balance. If there is too much humidity, wood can take it to itself. And when the room is drying, wood gives back all humidity to the air.

It is durable. Properly maintained log cabin will serve you about one hundred or two hundred years. It is natural that house is exposed by sun, rain and temperature changing, so it is need to paint it with some special impregnating materials one time in two or three years. By the way - wood has very high chemical resistance so log cabin will not decompose a lot of years.

Log cabins are fireproof. When you hear this fact it sounds crazy. But it is real. New technologies let us to reduce possibility of fire to impregnate wooden constructions with fireproof materials. But however if there was a big fire, you can start to construct new log cabin after that much easier.

It is more cheaper than a house builded from brick or blocs. There is no need to make any special decoration, because log cabins without all these things looks really cozy.

Resuming everything I want to say, that there are a lot of advantages of log cabins, but these are only few from most important. There are a lot of log cabins makers in all the world, and you do not have to build it by yourself, because there are more firms, which can build log cabin's constructions and transport them to you. It is popular not only home log cabins, but garden log cabins too. You will not need to look for holidays somewhere, you will be able to have your own relax atmosphere. Maybe you love to maintain your garden, maybe just sit on the terrace by the lake. It is very great investment, which really pays of. Your investment backs to you very quickly. It is a dream, but it could be real.
