Core Benefits

Healthy Living, Engineering Expertise, and Uncompromising Sustainability.

01 Healthy Living

We spend, on average, up to 90 percent of our time indoors, which highlights the importance of having a healthy building and good indoor air quality for our well-being.

Kontio’s timber buildings stand out by offering exceptionally high indoor air quality. The insulating properties of natural wood are outstanding, creating an effective balance in temperature and humidity throughout the seasons. Research shows that the presence of wooden surfaces reduces stress and promotes relaxation.

Kontio SmartLog™

SmartLog™ is the most advanced timber on the market, not only retaining its shape but also remaining stable even under varying environmental conditions. The load resistance and stiffness of the Kontio SmartLog structure underwent extensive testing by VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland), confirming exceptionally high load resistance.

SmartLog 275x275 Non-Settfing Log for Residential and Public Buildings
SmartLog 205x275 Non-Settling Log for Residential Buildings and Holiday Homes
SmartLog 135x275 Non-Settling Log for Holiday Homes

From log to building

There is now no reason to refrain from building with timber. Technical challenges can be met and overcome. With over fifty dedicated engineers in design, research, and testing, we have the capacity to address and solve technical issues in a reliable way.

Our timber construction is not only technically advanced but also exceptionally fire-resistant, easily meeting the stringent requirements of Sweden’s building codes.

02 Kontio WoodHow

We are proud to partner with Kontio, recognised as the world’s leading log house company. With 50 years’ experience of working with massive wood, Kontio brings a wealth of expertise in creating premium healthy log buildings and developing innovative construction solutions.
Through this partnership, we embrace the philosophy that every Kontio wood house is built using their unique Kontio WoodHow method, ensuring the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship
 

Energy Saving Smart Design

The massive logs even out temperature variations, so that log houses stay cool in summer and agreeably warm in winter. The solid walls also collect and store energy from sunlight.

Energy Efficient Technology

We choose the best structural solutions to meet the demands of low-energy construction including log type, corner design, sealing technology, and heat recovery systems.

Safety Engineering

Fire: Resistance values up to REI 90.

Earthquake: Superior seismic endurance due to the elastic nature of wood. Ideally suited for seismically active areas

03 Sustainability

At Sara Abode, we believe architecture is key to a sustainable future. By designing versatile, adaptable buildings, we ensure they can evolve with society’s changing needs, lasting for generations.

Circular Economy in Value Chain

1

Arctic Pine – Renewable Material

Sourced from Northern Finland’s PEFC-certified forests. Acts as a long-term carbon sink.

2

Designed to Last Over 100 Years

Made from solid, breathable massive logs built to endure for generations with minimal maintenance.

3

The Recyclable Classic

Minimal production waste is reused internally. Our side streams generate more energy than the factory consumes!

4

Efficient Construction

Ready-to-install log elements save time and materials without additional layers needed.

5

Built to Last Generations

Proven by enduring structures like the Nothnagle Cabin (built 1600s). Easily adaptable and repairable.

6

The Recyclable Classic

Logs can be disassembled, relocated, and reused in new projects or recycled into beams.

7

Logs – Beyond Use

At the end of their lifecycle, logs can be used in renewable energy or biocarbon production.
