Why Lumi Polar houses are humidity resistant
Lumi Polar log houses made of premium-quality Finnish wood are resistant to northern frosts, scorching heat, earthquakes, fire, insects, moisture, dampness... If it seems to you that it is a kind of magic, then it’s not at all, nature itself is absolutely magic, and a tree was created by it. Now we will explain everything to you.
Trees grow all over the world: in tropical, snowy, coastal, arid regions, in short, in all countries. And this is not surprising, because due to its natural properties, trees perfectly adapt to their environment and climate. This is achieved due to the tree’s ability to breathe, and hence, regulate moisture in accordance with the surrounding air, absorb and release it exactly when it is needed.
Of course, a humid climate seems especially unpleasant and dangerous to many people, because it immediately means dampness, mold and fungi, and as a consequence, health threat and structures damage, but you will never find all these threats in our houses made of natural wood.
Actually a tree supposed to live in nature, and nature has neither bad weather nor bad climate - therefore, in any open air it feels the best.
Thanks to centuries of experience, we perfectly know that the best chemical treatment of wood is the ABSENCE of any treatment. All its unique natural properties, as well as an ability to absorb and release moisture, continue to work until pores are clogged with chemicals. Therefore, even a glue that we use in laminated log manufacture is made of eco-friendly natural ingredients that do not clog pores of wood, thereby allowing a house to breathe and naturally regulate humidity. Natural house made of healthy, high-quality wood, not treated with any chemicals, stays for centuries adapting even to the most unfavorable conditions.
All this allows us to build our wooden houses anywhere in the world, both beyond the Arctic Circle and in hot Africa, near the water and above the water, where the air humidity is very high, and also to build saunas and swimming pools directly in houses.
