Norwegian carriage technology

The house will be built in 12 months

Due to the chamber drying carriage, each log becomes 100 kg lighter after the drying process, as excess moisture evaporates.

Since the drying of the wood is minimal, immediately after installation on the foundation the log house is ready for finishing, and within 8-10 months you will be able to live in your own wooden house!

Finishing is done quickly

The main advantage of a planed dry carriage is the cleanliness of the surface. It is enough to apply a protective layer of oil so that the house can be lived in!

When installing a log house from a raw log or timber, according to the laws of physics and nature, the timber, in the process of loss of moisture, will be deformed, twisted and dangling, forming large gaps and cracks.

This is an inevitable fact of using freshly sawn timber, and the only solution to this serious problem is preliminary chamber drying of the timber.

Holes do not form even without caulk

The Norwegian cup is a special method of joining dry timber at the corners, which ensures a reliable and durable connection of all nodes due to the natural tendency of wood to shrink under its own weight, as well as the weight of the roof and snow.

Kiln-dried wood behaves stably and shrinks slightly. Therefore, the windows installed in the house will not burst, and the doors will remain intact and will not jam.

On the other hand, for example, a log house made of raw wood will shrink by 30-40 cm, and if installed incorrectly, the windows and doors will collapse.

The result is smooth, even walls

Uniform, smooth walls made of dry timber are convenient for placing furniture close to the wall, placing sockets and switches where necessary, and also hanging pictures and mirrors on flat surfaces.

We use the W-profile inter-crown groove

These grooves create a labyrinthine seal between the sheathing and panels, preventing cold and wind from entering the house.

This invention has been used by carpenters around the world for over 35 years and is still in use today. The W-profile groove is as reliable and efficient as it is simple and technologically advanced to manufacture.

In addition, the geometry of the groove minimizes the formation of cracks on the outer surface of the carriage.

Only square birch dowels

The dowels firmly hold the beams together. The holes are drilled with a Teflon-coated Japanese drill, and dry birch bars measuring 27x27 mm are firmly held on their four edges without interfering with shrinkage.

Ventilated corners

Special gaps in the corners of houses made from carriages are designed to effectively drain rainwater from the cup to the outside.

This Norwegian invention protects the house from moisture and increases its durability.

Ordinary log houses, as a rule, do not have ventilation gaps, which leads to rotting of the corners of the log house and the appearance of fungus and mold.

Norwegian ax of special shape

Thanks to the wide blade of a special shape, the ax perfectly copes with the intended task for which this ax was made - making an ideal “cheek” on the cup.

The ax leaves behind a smooth, planed surface that does not absorb water, which is a plus for durability.

Our specialists studied in Norway

We learned the basics of our craft in Norway.

We then modernized Norwegian cup production to be more technical and precise. All the specialists in our team are highly qualified, having years of tireless work behind them in the production of wooden houses, including from gun carriages.

A house made from carriages is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing

The main advantage of Norwegian technology is beauty and aesthetics.

The carriage was even called a diamond cup. Jeweler-cut knots are as beautiful as sculptures and give the house a unique look. This is a feast for the eyes and mind that will fill your home with peace and comfort!

We build from a solid array of wood – a dry pine carriage of large cross-section

Pine is a noble, strong building material from the most ancient times. Pine is stronger than other types of wood for compression, bending and chipping. Vikings built their ships – drakkars and knorrs – out of pine and oak.

A beam with a cross section of 200 x 300 mm is used for construction. It’s about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. So you can clearly imagine the massiveness and power of this material.

Pine has the first class of resistance to rot. The pine house has served for 100 years or more. Pine is a very durable wood due to the high content of resin – a natural antiseptic. Pine is a first-class wood according to the shipbuilding classification, hardy and strong. This cannot be said about spruce, for example.

Our timber is solid wood, without glue and splice from boards. There are no layers of glue in the pine massif, which interfere with air exchange and negatively affect the ecology and microclimate inside your home. What can not be said, for example, about glued beams.

Without allergies and dust. Allergies and dust will not haunt you and your children because on flat dry timber walls, unlike round log walls, dust accumulates less and is easy to clean.

Without fungus and insect pests. An important advantage of dry wood is its excellent resistance to fungus and insect pests. They are simply not able to exist in wood with a relative humidity below 20%. In addition, sapwood is built in our timber – these are external, living and easily rotting tree cells. Only the core works – strong, solid, consisting of dead cells and resin.
