Log house & windows.
Why are windows so important?

Windows are often one of the weakest points in the building envelope. Even good windows usually have a lower R-value than walls.

That is why it is not enough to simply install “expensive windows.” It is important to use high-quality, energy-efficient windows and install them correctly.

The following factors are especially important:

* triple glazing;
* warm-edge spacers;
* high-quality seals;
* proper installation;
* no gaps around the windows;
* airtight sealing of the window opening;
* protection against condensation.

Even an excellent window can perform poorly if it is installed incorrectly.

Eco-Friendliness

Eco-friendliness is not just “wood.”
It is durability, fewer repairs, less waste, and a longer service life.

Our homes are built from engineered laminated timber — stable, precise, and long-lasting.

A truly ecological home is one that serves for decades.

Myth 6. A wooden house cannot be airtight

Reality: A modern wooden house can be very airtight when it is manufactured and assembled as an engineered building system.

Traditional old wooden houses often did have issues with drafts, settling, gaps, and deformation. But modern homes made from engineered laminated timber use a completely different technology.

Precision manufacturing, CNC machining, controlled wood moisture content, proper connections, and modern sealing systems make it possible to achieve a high level of airtightness.

In a high-quality system, the following factors are especially important and carefully controlled:

* wood moisture content;
* geometry of the components;
* precision of joints and connections;
* absence of uncontrolled settling;
* wall stability;
* quality of window installation details;
* wall-to-roof and wall-to-foundation connections.

Myth 5. A thick wall is automatically better than a thin one

Reality: What matters is not only the thickness of the wall, but the entire building system.

You can build a very thick wall, but if it has many thermal bridges, poor joints, and weak airtightness, the house will not be truly energy efficient.

And vice versa: a properly designed system with high-quality windows, precise geometry, airtight connections, and a low ACH50 can perform significantly better than a “thick” but poorly assembled wall.

Energy efficiency is not about one single material. It is a system:

walls + roof + foundation + windows + doors + airtightness + ventilation + quality of construction.

Myth 4. Air leaks are a minor issue

Reality: Air leaks can be one of the main causes of heat loss.

In a cold climate, especially in Canada, air leaks matter a great deal. Through them, a house loses not only heat, but also comfort.

Air leaks can lead to:

* cold spots inside the house;
* drafts;
* higher heating bills;
* extra strain on the heating system;
* condensation inside building assemblies;
* risk of mold;
* poorer indoor air quality;
* unstable room temperatures.

That is why a modern energy-efficient home should not be just “well insulated,” but also airtight.

Myth 3. R-value is the main indicator of energy efficiency

Reality: R-value is important, but without airtightness, it cannot perform to its full potential.

Even a very well-insulated wall will lose heat if the house has air leaks.

These are called air leaks — uncontrolled air leakage through gaps, joints, electrical outlets, pipe penetrations, windows, doors, the roof, and structural connections.

A simple analogy:
You can wear a very warm winter jacket, but if the zipper is open, cold air will still get inside. The same applies to a house.

A high R-value is the “thickness of the jacket.”
ACH50 shows how well the “zipper is closed.”
