A wooden house offers enjoyable advantages in terms of comfort, climate as well as health or environment. Wood is a bioenergetic and ecological material. Flexible, resistant, light, and durable, wood is suitable for most grounds and constructions. It is also recommended in seismic areas.
The structure is solid due to tensile and weight strength. Wood prevents dust circulation and static electricity. The humidity level is naturally low in the construction. The wood material is easy to maintain and offers physiological and psychological advantages. A wooden house will make you benefit from a healthy, warm, comfortable, and balanced interior.
In wooden house Estonia#3, the floor plans are organised around the central staircase and facing the entrance.
Prefabricated houses are modern housing constructions. They are fast and easy to assemble and ahead of more common housing buildings in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Wood is an energetic, recyclable, and ecological material. As the main component of the construction, it ensures the proper insulation of the house, keeps the warmth, and protects it from cold. You can find more specific info here about benefits of a log home.
Wood is naturally breathing and offers a balanced and healthy living environment. The modular house benefits from flexible layouts, and it is possible to extend them afterward. Modern wooden houses are an adequate solution to face current environmental issues while providing comfort, modernity, and contemporary design.
Here are some pros and cons of both wooden and brick houses to consider:
Pros of wooden houses:
Ultimately, the decision to build with wood or brick will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and the specific needs and characteristics of your location. It is important to carefully consider all of these factors before making a decision.
The cost of foundations is influenced by the type and methods required (swallow, deep, etc…). The materials also influence the price, as well as the size of the house and its features. Usually, the foundation’s cost of a house is situated between 100 to 1000€ / m3 depending on the needs. To have a more precise estimation of the foundation’s cost for your project, you can request quotations to experts.
Palmatin provides you with advice and support also for the preparations of the construction site before the start of the assembly. Even though the installation of the house foundations are taken into consideration and discussed with the clients, it is not included in the price offer. To know more about the foundation types and prices, contact the company in charge of the foundations.
Generally, the quotations and offers provided by Palmatin, on the website or through personalized offers, are not including the VAT. You can apply the rate of 20% to the house price to know the VAT cost. To avoid any misunderstanding, do not hesitate to check the indications on the provided documents to know if the VAT has been included or contact us directly.
The cost of the house transportation varies according to different factors, that is why it is established for each project, individually. Generally speaking, the delivery cost depends on the means of transport (maritime transport, ground transport…), the nature, size and quantity of goods, the construction site location. Other factors are included such as the number of kilometres, the insurance…
You can decide when building your home to be helped by a professional. The assembly cost of a house, made by a professional, will be related to the amount of work and the location of the house. In general, it is considered that the costs of the assembly are around 30% (with a variation of +/- 5%) of the house price. You can use the help of one of our partners or search for a professional of your own choice. Contact us to know more.
The price of a log house or a prefabricated house is based on the quantity of material necessary to build the house, influenced by its size. Therefore, the modification of a house model or personalized plans will not apply a substantial cost increase to the price compared to a home kit. Concretely, a similar personalized plan or a model kit can have similar prices. Likewise, switching the bedroom and kitchen located on a house model won’t impact dramatically the final price of the house.
For future owners, one of the main and not insignificant elements when buying and building a house is its price. Usually speaking, a log house or prefabricated house is cheaper than similar size stone or concrete houses. The price differences can vary because of the construction duration, the cost of materials, and the return on investment.
One of our objectives at Palmatin is to provide our clients with quality and affordable products, as the price of the houses should not control the quality of the products. To do so, we select and purchase the raw materials. We establish contact with our clients and work with them on their projects. We also monitor all stages of the manufacturing process. We assist our clients until the house assembly is completed. This process management allows us to manage our costs. Direct purchase and sales, without intermediaries, and efficient controlled production is one of the keys to a good price-quality ratio.
Many elements impact the price of a house, therefore it is complicated to establish a price without detailing the project. Generally speaking, the price of a log house is influenced by the type of logs, the insulation and choice of materials, the size of the house and construction in the factory, the architecture complexity and the choice of the building package. However, you can consider that one square metre (1m² = 10.7 sq.feet) of floor area costs between 500 to 1200€.
The U-value, or thermal transmittance, is the rate of heat transfer through the structure. The rate will vary depending on the building structure, material, thickness of wood and insulation. The better the insulation of the building is, the lowest the thermal transmittance will be. The U-value thus indicates if a building is efficient when retaining the thermal energy and shows the quality of the insulation. For wooden log, the average U-value of a 180 mm log is estimated at 0,60 W/m²K, meaning that this value can easily be decreased and reached 0,17 W/m²K if the insulation is adapted.
A prefabricated external wall element with wooden facade presents a U-value of 0,16 W/m² whereas the U value of a prefab external wall elements with plastered facade reaches 0,13 W/m²K.
Palmatin houses meet the requirements of quality, environment and efficiency. The houses can be classified in the latest generations of buildings in terms of innovation, building consumption and nature protection. However, some countries and localities may have specific requirements. If you want to know if the house can meet them, you can visit our webpage “memberships and certifications” or directly make contact with our teams.
In Europe, buildings represent approximately 40% of the total energy consumption and 36% of the CO2 emissions and are therefore the single largest energy consumer in Europe, ahead of industrial sectors. A house is considered as passive when its energy demand is lower than 15 kWh/ m²/ year and its total energy consumption (including cooling, domestic hot water, use of devices and technical equipment, lighting, ventilation and consumption linked to building use) does not exceed 120 kWh/ m²/ year. The RT 2012 norm considers a building as “low energy” as soon as its consumption is limited to 50 kWh/ m²/ year, including lighting, heating, air conditioning and hot water. The RT 2012 norm is based on renewable energy. To reduce energy consumption and building emissions, environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources (solar panels, heating pumps…) are efficient solutions. All Palmatin constructions are complying with the RT 2012 norm and reach the energy efficiency requirements.
The period between the start of a house project and the delivery on the construction site is specific to each project as many elements can influence the duration, such as the house changes and validation of details, the rapidity of exchanges between Palmatin teams and the clients, the size of the project, etc.. In average, we consider that the preliminary phases of the project, including the discussion of the clients ideas and wishes, the budgetisation, agreement, drawings, design and technical details up to the validation before production last 5 weeks. Depending on the house type, the production is taking between 8 to 12 weeks. Besides, you can add a few weeks for the house shipment and delivery.
A log house does not need major maintenance after completion. However, punctual maintenance, careful attention to the house and some refreshment are necessary. The new log house owner can adjust metallic tie rods and metallic rods, following the instructions we provide. The wood facade should be refreshed with new stain or paint after a few years to preserve its beautiful aspects. All the care methods and advice are detailed in the care instructions provided by the company.
Your family is growing and a need for space is felt? You are thinking about a conservatory from where to enjoy the garden view or you simply think more meter squares can add a plus to your home? From first glance, there are no restrictions to extend the house after completion. Nevertheless, there is a few things you might like to consider and steps to follow first: where should be the extension? Is the project manageable? What is the dedicated budget? Do I need a permit (depends on the size of the extension)? Etc. You can ask the opinion of an expert before starting your project to know if your idea is feasible or needs a few adjustments.
Wood is a living element. After being harvested, the wood is still breathing, changing and interacting with the environment. Wind, air, sunlight, climate change, location…many factors influence the wood ageing process and its appearances. These factors will darken the wood through time to grey hues. To prevent the wood from becoming darker, or protect its natural aged colour, you can use different stain and paint, depending on the final result.
When selecting the materials for your prefabricated house, two options are available for the finish of the external walls. You can select the wooden one: the walls will be covered with wooden cladding, or you can opt for the plastered finish, providing with a stone or plaster imitations. Both of these coatings are easy to clean and do not require a lot of maintenance. The interior can be decorated with paint, wallpaper, wood, stone and any other type of finishing. Wood, carpet flooring, tiles and flexible flooring can be used for the floor, among other materials. Many elements can also be suitable for the ceiling. Discover some options of interior finishing in our catalogue: “Additional elements and accessories”.
Building a wooden house or prefabricated house on a construction site requires preliminary preparations and the availability of machines. You should first be ensured that the necessary and common tools (hammer, screwdrivers…) can be provided. To unload and move the log and prefabricated elements, a crane is necessary. A waste container might be placed to keep the site clean. Works-at-height have to be realized on a secured scaffolding. If a team is present on the construction site, additional material might be needed. Palmatin provides in advance the instructions and advice to prepare correctly the construction site.
As we deliver log and prefabricated houses all around the world, we have established partnerships with reliable local experts, able to help you quickly during the house construction. If you are interested in being helped by one of our partners, feel free to contact us so we will discuss the best solution for your project.
Building a house is never an insignificant challenge. If you feel adventurous, possess some experience in construction or want to learn by doing, you can assemble the house yourself. Take a look at the different house packages and decide of the degree of work you want to handle. If desired by the clients, we can also support you during the construction project. Our partners located in different countries can assist you during all the phases of the house construction, from the foundations to the house assembly, including other special works. If needed, we can send one of our specialists to supervise the construction site. In more rare cases, a team of experts from the factory takes in charge of the building work on the site.
Even though the log and prefabricated houses present different features and construction methods, it does not impact the construction and use of utilities. You can install any type of traditional utilities in the house. However, designing a new home is a great opportunity to take a look at clean and green sources.
Before starting the assembly of the house, and even before receiving the delivery, it is primordial to check that the construction site is correctly prepared. Always check the security of the site for workers. The construction site has to be clean and the storage area prepared. You may also verify that the site is delimited and protected, to stop anyone not related to work from entering the construction site.
Compare to other and more standard buildings, the log houses are easy and fast to assemble. As the houses are manufactured first in the factory, they can be delivered and assembled on the construction site at any moment of the year. However, it is important to keep a construction site clean from snow, leaves or debris, to ensure the safety of the workers and the good organisation on the site.
The size of the house and the logs used are influencing the settlement duration of the house. For example, the solid log profiles take longer to be installed than the glued laminated log profiles. Since the settlement is taken into notice during the engineering process you can move into your new home right away. In average, the house takes a few weeks to be assembled. Remember also that a carefully prepared construction site helps saving time.
The size of the house is the main element influencing the settlement duration of a prefabricated house. In average, the house takes a few weeks to be assembled. Remember also that a carefully prepared construction site helps saving time.
If you are looking for adventure and enriching experience, you can, of course, decide to build the log house by yourself. The construction on site consists of assembling the different elements, following the instructions. Our advice would be to consider in advance all the positive and negative aspects to not underestimate the work before starting. You can contact us for advice and assistance at any step of the assembly.
Good foundations are essential. They help to maintain the construction in good conditions, insure the proper weight distribution of the building and its stability, and prevent from structure damages. The foundations are the base of the building and its connection with the ground. Different methods and materials, such as concrete or reinforced concrete, can be used. The foundation types have more to do with the soil type and ground nature than the type of building. However, be aware that the building weight plays a role as well. The wood is lighter than other construction materials, therefore the foundations are usually thinner than average.
To build a wooden house or prefabricated house, the type of ground is not problematic. Any ground type may suit for building the houses. Moreover, wooden houses are recommended in seismic areas. Their resistance to horizontal earth movements make them less likely to collapse compared to other buildings.
To make sure that your house will be maintained in good conditions, the foundations have to be adapted to the grounds.
Palmatin takes charge of the organisation and management of the house transportation. We work with trustful shipping partners. We build our collaborations with partners through years, based on their professionalism, efficiency, and experience. We organize optimal transportation in collaboration with our regular partner to ensure a smooth delivery at the construction site.
Many factors can influence the duration of transportation and date of shipment and delivery. The transportation mean, the location of delivery, the weather, the road traffic and other unpredictable events can impact the transportation duration. In Europe and unless specific conditions apply, a driver is not allowed to drive more than 6 consecutive hours. At maximum, he can work 9 hours per day, 10 hours per night. Per week, a driver is limited to 48hours in average. At Palmatin, we organize the transportation of the materials so you can receive all the materials to the construction site as planned.
In addition to the wooden houses, we complete our range with additional products. You can take a look at our catalogues and discover amazing kitchens, fireplaces, roof covering, doors and windows, etc. Upon request, we can provide you with other elements such as saunas or garages. After contacting us, we will establish for you a project quotation, including the material list. Feel free to add any materials or components you want for your future house.
Palmatin proposes aluminium, wooden windows and patio doors, which can have inward and outward openings. Different finishing, colours, handles and features are available in the range as well as glass thickness. The windows are simple, double or triple glazed with various glazing bars options. Discover the window and door ranges in our additional element and accessories catalogues.
At Palmatin, we think that quality products depend on the production management and material transformations. We manage and supervise our production with great attention. That is why we prepare all the wooden elements of the log houses and prefabricated houses at the factory. That includes the logs, the doors and windows frames, the interior walls, the wooden flooring for terraces and balconies, etc…
The length of the logs do not limit the house dimensions. Thanks to various engineering solutions, such as details and finger joints, the wall sizes can vary as needed. Therefore, the house design can be very different and original from one construction to another. However, the lengths of materials are constrained by transportation rules and size restrictions.
A prefabricated house is an easy-to-build type of house. The prefabricated elements – external and internal walls, ceiling, roof, are designed and made in the factory, including the two sides of the elements, the insulation, etc. When going out of the factory, the house elements are ready to assemble on the construction site. The house can be built in any season, in the factory, and assembled in several days on the construction site. To read more about the prefabricated house elements and assembly, you can visit the “technologies” category of the website menu.
A wooden log house is made by overlaying wooden log, following specific instructions and order of assembly. At the factory, the logs are cut at the right dimensions and angles and in proper number. All the special cuts and notches necessary for the assembly on the construction site are also pre-cut. To read more about the log house materials and construction, you can visit the “technologies” category of the website menu.

The constructions obligations can vary from a country to another. Generally speaking, when the building exceeds a certain size, the construction is subject to a permit. This concerns private properties as well. Before delivering a construction permit, the plans of the house, the location, the environment, the public safety and other factors will be analyzed. To know about the regulations, you should refer to your local administration. Make sure to obtain the building permit before starting the construction on the site.
The design and drawings of a house, including the 3D models and plans, are great tools to visualize the final house. It is also helpful when modifying the house elements and taking decisions The drawings and design are made by experts on professional architecture software. Depending on the project status and its features, we can negotiate the price of the design or integrate it, later on, in the final price of the house. If you need a quotation, we send you the first price offer for free.
The solar panels are a great alternative to fossil energy sources. They represent a clean alternative for the environment, as well as a smart long-term investment. The solar panels can be used on a log or prefabricated house roof. Actually, building a new home is the perfect opportunity to think the electrical installation and its sources beforehand. We recommend studying the alternative energy sources before planning your house. To know more about the solar panels, take a look at our catalogue “Additional elements and accessories“, available for free.

Thanks to building technics, woodworking and innovations, it is now possible to be more creative and not rein our imagination to create unique houses with original architectures. The narrow spaces limited by beam dimensions and 90° rooms are, for instance, distant memories. Various degree corners, beam extensions, material combinations, structure reinforcement, urban area solutions are possible. The wooden house evolved to offer larger possibilities of design and comfort.
The house models are all customizable, from the insulation to the room sizes. Palmatin gives you the possibility to design a house you like, complying with your lifestyle, ambitions and needs. Therefore, an on-measurement house is certainly feasible and even recommended if you already have an idea of what your house should look like. You can send us your own drawings and plans, and we will start working on your project.
In opposition to common believes, a wooden house burns hardly more than another type, made of concrete or steel. The wood, after being harvested and dried, still contains water, which will evaporate during a fire before letting the wood burn. When burning, the wood creates charcoal protection, slowing down the spread of heat. The wood structure is still solid and will not collapse. You can refer to the fire resistance class.
The majority of our wooden houses and prefabricated houses can be equipped with a fireplace. During the fireplace installation, make sure to follow the safety rules and installation requirements. You can opt for a beautiful fireplace in your interior without fearing for the dwelling conditions. Using a fireplace is not without risks, therefore, we recommend careful attention when you lighting. You can discover some beautiful chimney and fireplace models right here!
The environment protection is one of our essential pillars and objectives. To build wooden houses and respect environment, we focus on our production and the management of our products. The FSC certifications attest that the wood materials are coming from controlled plantations. We support the renewal of the forests. In our constructions, we use toxin-free glue, that does not interact with the environment. Plus, the wood is an ecological, biodegradable and renewable material. About the production, we have organised our process to manage our environmental impact. Our ecological and certified waste-free production allows us to reduce energy consumption. We avoid releasing unfriendly elements in the nature. The wooden waste from the production is collected and reused. We use sawdust and kiln driers to warm the factory. Also, suction system prevents the sawdust and warmth from being rejected in the environment. We work to provide a sustainable environment for the years to come.
The wooden houses are highly resistant and durable. With proper construction methods, innovative assembly systems and good maintenance, the house can last up to a hundred years. The wooden construction is also easier to maintain and to renovate than more traditional house types. Its structure benefits from the natural strength and solidity of the wood. The wooden houses are resistant to the climate conditions. With time, the wood will aged beautifully, bringing more charm and history to the construction.
It is possible to build a log house respecting city requirements and stricter regulations. Thanks to the “city corner” solutions the constructions is free of protruding log ends. Discover more about the city corner solution!
Thanks to building methods, modular – or prefabricated houses – are remarkable in term of energy saving. This type of construction gives the possibility to choose alternative energy power sources and environment-friendly installations. The effective insulation will also guarantee you a pleasant interior climate and the reduction of energy bills.
Wood is a natural sound and thermal insulation, that maintains the dwelling’s climate. Thus, the house is fresh during hot summer days and warm from autumn to spring. The insulating features of the wood also minimize the energy consumption and reduce energy costs. Palmatin also proposes different insulation thickness to reinforce the natural wood insulating performances.

It depends on the profile of the logs used. For solid log profiles the settlement is about 3-4% for every meter of height. If glued laminated log profiles are used you will have settlement around 1%. Since the settlement is taken into notice during the engineering process you can move into your new home right away.
The exterior of the wooden house is composed with the round or square log and wooden elements such doors and windows frames, eventually doors and windows, railings, porch… Therefore, the finishing for outside should be adapted to exterior conditions and made for wood care. If not coloured, the wood needs at minimum to be protected from external attacks like sun UV, bad weather or season changes. You can rely on the care instructions and informative documentation to know what stain, oil or paint should be privileged and how often they have to be refreshed. The terraces and balconies flooring can be finished at the factory if desired. Inside, a wooden house can adopt traditional and modern appearances according to the finish choices. The interior can be decorated with wooden cladding, wooden ceiling panels and parquet, paint, stones, decorative panels or wallpaper on the walls. Tiles, laminate or carpet flooring can be used for the floor, and you can opt for stretched canvas, concrete or panels for the ceiling. Like any other type of house, you are free to decorate your interior with all the materials available in the design. Discover some options of interior finishing in our catalogue “Additional elements and accessories”.
You can have a look at a house details and its price by filling the form on the right side of the model page on our website. An email containing all the information will be sent to you. The prices indicated in the documents do not include the transportation price.
