60 years of
good living
Honka was founded in 1958 in Eastern Finland when
five brothers became interested in building houses.
Living in the forestry Finland, the Saarelainen brothers
grew up getting to know, love and understand wood.
“Our extensive experience of They dreamt of creating houses of Finnish pine and
handling one of the world’s oldest giving people around the world a chance to enjoy the
building materials has made use soothing benefits of solid wood. These brothers were
experts in healthy and ecological the founders of Honka, the first industrial log house
manufacturer in the world.

Today, Honka is a global pioneer in modern log build-
Marko Saarelainen, CEO ing technology. We have built approximately 85,000
houses around the world and come up with countless
innovations that have changed log construction to its
core. Together with our partner network, we carry
out building projects all over the world - from Finland
to Russia and Asia and North America. All made in
Finland of quality Finnish pine.

It’s more than a house.
It’s a home.
A genuine Honka log house is a warm, inviting and healthy place to live. It’s
an ecological home that quite literally takes good care of the people who
live within its walls.
Wood has been loved by people through the ages. Using cutting-edge production
technology, Honka processes the wood into the best possible construction material.
Despite the high degree of processing, the dense and healthy log in the wall is still the
same pine tree that has endured snow, rain and sun in a Finnish forest. The feeling
you get when you walk through the doors of a log house is unique – warm, cosy and
welcoming. Natural.

De-stress living
Did you know that living in a log home can reduce stress like a walk in the
woods? Pine tree contains the phytoncides which make up the essential oils
of many plants and trees. These are found to decrease levels of the cortisol
stress hormone. The scientists have discovered that buildings with wooden
structures lower blood pressure and heart rate. Solid wood also has excel-
lent acoustic properties, absorbing sounds and creating a calming and cosy
atmosphere.

A healthy home
for your family
The optimal indoor air humidity for good health is between 30 and 55 per cent.
At this humidity level, the air is easy to breathe and the growth of mould and
bacteria is minimised. This helps to prevent allergies and respiratory infections.
Log buildings promote good health naturally, thanks to their superior air quality.
According to an extensive European study, the more massive wood there is inside a house,
the healthier the air quality becomes. Massive wood has the unique ability to absorb mois-
ture and release it back into the air in the room when it has dried.
All technical solutions used in Honka homes are structurally safe and extensively tested.
Our houses are some of the most air and watertight on the market, which allows them to
stand the test of time, in all weather conditions. Our patented and design-protected inno-
vations help make sure every Honka house is a warm and healthy home for generations to
come.
Thanks to our extensive experience and active research and development, we have the
knowledge needed to build houses for sensitive groups such as children and adults suffer-
ing from breathing problems, allergies or asthma.

“The number one reason for choosing a Honka house was to have a healthy
home for our family which suffers from allergies and asthma. We already
have experience of a poorly built house – we definitely didn’t need another
one.”

An ecologically
sustainable choice
One of the greatest things about Finland is its abundance of trees. In fact, more
wood grows in Finnish forests than is harvested. Using renewable Finnish wood as a
construction material is an ecological choice in the battle against climate change.
At Honka, environmental awareness is a natural part of who we are and everything we do –

from the raw materials to production process and all the way to the finished product.
100 % RENEWABLE AND RECYCLABLE

When purchasing wood, Honka is committed to sustainable forestry where ecological values
and wood production are in balance. The PEFC certification guarantees that the Honka’s raw
material originates from certified Finnish forests. We never buy wood from protected regions.
Massive wood can also be recycled 100%.
FORESTS STORE CO2

When a tree grows, it binds a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and
cleans the air we breathe. In a wooden building, the carbon is kept out of the atmosphere for
hundreds of years. A medium-sized Honka house is capable of storing 90 000 kg of CO2 which
equals driving around the Earth 14 times.
ECOLOGICAL MANUFACTURING
Our operations are certified in accordance with the ISO 14000 environmental standard. We
use 97 % of our raw material and any leftover building materials are used for bioenergy. The
amount of energy consumed in the industrial production of massive wood is 50 % of the
energy required for cement production and only 20 % of that required for brick production.
We only use renewable energy in our production.

“As an elite athlete, I consider well-being and health to be among the highest prio-
rities in my life. I was immediately convinced by Honkarakenne in the very first
meeting. They listened to my wishes and designed the house in accordance with my
needs and the environment. This was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever
made. Now I have a place I’m happy to spend the rest of my life in!”

”Modern log technology provides excellent opportunities for creating
architecture in the Scandinavian style. The minimalistic designs can be
utilised in urban and natural environments alike. Besides visual advan-
tages, log buildings provide an unrivalled natural atmosphere of well-
being – which is at the core of Scandinavian design.”

HONKA FUSION
TM
AND THE FREEDOM OF DESIGN
As a natural material, wood changes over the course of time. As wood dries, it
shrinks, causing a log house to settle. This is a natural phenomenon, and even
though designers with expertise in log home planning can meet the challenges, it
still used to set some limitations for the architects.
Our innovation, the non-settling Honka FusionTM log, allows all the excellent properties
of a traditional log house to be incorporated into modern urban living. Counting out the
limitations of settling, more versatile architecture can be achieved.
For example, log walls can include a large surface area of window, with modern, light
mouldings, free of the wide architraves and settling spaces of traditional log construction.
Logs can easily be combined with other materials too, like stone, plastering and steel. Also,
the traditional cross corners can be substituted with regular outer corners. Your family will
still benefit from the best qualities of a log house, such as longevity and healthy indoor air.
The Honka Fusion solution is based Large windows can be included in log The walls of a zero-corner house
on minimising the effects of settling walls with modern, light mouldings appear to be panelled due to the even

three-metre wide eaves provide cover for the patio areas and
protect the building from the harsh weather of the archipelago.

FAST AND CONTROLLED
CONSTRUCTION
With our precision-cut logs, detailed instructions and trained partners worldwide, an aver-
age-sized Honka log home can be weather-tight in just a few weeks. This means that the
later building phases inside the house can be started on time. Therefore, the overall building
process of a log home is short compared to many other building solutions.
THE MAIN STEPS OF BUILDING A LOG HOME:

Foundation: Honka provides drawings and guidance for building the foundation base of your
1.
log home in accordance with the local building regulations. The foundation base is not nor-
mally included in the log house package delivery.
Frame: The frame of a log house acts as a solid frame structure and a wall structure at the
2.
same time. The frame is built by mounting each log layer after another at your site.
Roof trusses and roofing: When the frame of the house is in place, the wooden roof trusses
3.
will be lifted and attached to top of the house frame. The roof will be finished with the chosen
roofing material – e.g., stone, steel or felt covering – and rain gutters.
Windows and doors: Assembling the windows and doors will complete the structural weather
4.
protection of your house.
Painting and other exterior details: The log walls will be painted or protected with wood pre-
5.
servative. Other exterior fittings such as stairs and terraces will also be mounted in this phase.
Interior structures and fittings: Partition walls, stairs and other interior fittings are assem-
6.
bled in this phase. The spaces requiring water insulation will be completed. All the necessary
HVAC installations take place before the finalisation of the floor, wall and ceiling surfaces.
Quality check: When all the installation work has been concluded, the house structures will
7. be checked for compliance with local building regulations.
86
Honka Building Service
The Honka Building Service offered by our local authorized partners pro-
vides a range of services designed to help you along every step of the building
process – from erecting the frame right down to putting the finishing
touches on your home’s exterior. One benefit of a log house is that you can
build it any time of the year, even in the middle of winter. Give your local
Honka representative a call so we can start planning your dream home today!

HONKA LOGS
– THE HEART OF YOUR HOME
Honka houses are built from Finnish pine, which is an exceptionally dense coniferous
wood. Our timbers are selected from solid core wood which yields exceptional load
bearing capacity with little to no cracking. The perfect choice for solid wood structures.
Square logs are suited for a variety designs, both traditional and contemporary. The non-settling
Honka Fusion log is your choice for urban, minimalistic designs. Round logs are perfect for rustic
log cabins and exotic resorts.
CHOICE OF LOGS
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.
MASSIVE AND INSULATED WALLS

Major parts of our houses are built from sufficiently thick log so that they do not require any extra
insulation even in the coldest climates such as the northern parts of Finland and Russia. We also
offer low-energy walls with additional insulation.
CORNER OPTIONS
Cross corners are characteristic to log houses, but many people feel they are a feature of rural land-
scapes. Our clearly defined, minimalistic Honka Zero CornerTM concept produces log houses that
are at ease even in the most urban environments.

”Arriving to our second home in the Turku archipelago always
thrills. Our wish was to create a place to gather in which three
generations of family and friends could enjoy themselves together
and separately, regardless of the time of year. Our dream came
true in a unique way. Here time, space, people and nature are in
perfect harmony. We are truly happy here.”
