kit – timber cut to length and marked, delivered to site

Polarlog kit

 Every piece of the timber frame is machined to size in Finland, marked, and packed in the order you will build it. Joints and notches are cut in the factory. Nothing is measured or sawn on your site, and nothing is left over.

 You receive structural and wall elevations showing the position and mark of every piece. Roof trusses and load-bearing beams are checked for fit during design, not during assembly. For a self-builder or a small contractor this is the difference between a straightforward week and a difficult month.

 Because the work happens in a factory, weather delays on site shrink and the schedule holds. This matters most for export projects, where a lost week on site can be more expensive than the timber itself.

 kit houses also offer flexibility in design. You can choose from a wide range of house models or design a completely individual building according to your what you need. The precise quality of the prefabricated components ensures that your house will last over time and meet high quality standards.

 In addition, Polarlog kit houses have a smaller ecological footprint, as less material waste means less environmental impact. The manufacturing process at the factory is energy efficient and allows for the recycling of materials, which supports sustainable practice.

 When you choose a Polarlog kit house, you can be sure that the construction process is well planned and executed, and the result is a high-quality, durable and beautiful home.

Where kit fits

kit houses are versatile and suitable for a variety of construction projects, from holiday homes to terraced houses. Self-builders can save a significant amount by doing the work themselves. The cut-to-size timber frame is quick to install according to ready-made assembly drawings, and other load-bearing structures, such as roof trusses, columns and glulam beams, are also included. No quantity take-offs and no guesswork on site, which saves valuable working time. All wooden structures are delivered to your site for a single freight charge.

• Versatility: kit houses are suitable for various construction projects, such as leisure buildings, detached houses, terraced houses, saunas.
• Cost savings: self-builders save a significant amount, because pre-machined components cut both labour costs and build time.
• Easy and quick installation: cut-to-size timber frames are quick to install using ready-made assembly drawings. This reduces the risk of installation errors and speeds up the entire project.
• Comprehensive deliveries: Where required, all load-bearing structures, such as roof trusses, columns and glulam beams, are included, ensuring the structural durability and safety of the building.
• Time savings: no quantity take-offs and no guesswork on site, which keeps the project moving smoothly and efficiently.
• Cost-effective transport: every timber structure arrives on one freight delivery, which cuts logistics costs and simplifies project management.

Frame and roof first – the structure never gets wet

On a kit site the frame goes up first, then the roof trusses and the roof covering. Only after that do the insulation and interior materials arrive, so they have no chance to get wet during the build. That is the practical reason a short build in the right order pays off.
