CORNER JOINTS

A log house’s corners can be made in different ways.

The way corner joints were made in olden days told if the builder was a professional carpenter, or just a builder of sheds. Experienced professionals made so called locked corner joints, that tied the logs to each other, were tight and looked more like little pieces of art. Also today you can tell if the factory is using modern technique by looking at the corner joints.

Today the corner joints are machine made. Hirsiset house factory has invested in product development, and corner joints are not only the tightest in the market, but also beautiful to look at.

We have in production two different corner types:

1. Traditional long corner, which is most popular in machine made log houses.

2. Dove tail corner, imitating the tradional hand made corners. With dove tails the house has no protruding corners, and is thus allowed in building areas where those corners are forbidden.
