Wondering about the Log House

Is the log house fire resistant?

Wood is a material that is thought to burn easily; Whereas, the burning time of the wood material extends as the cross section of the material is enlarged, that is, if the required thickness is used, the outer surface becomes charred at the time of fire and the burning of the inner parts that protect themselves with this coal layer occurs quite late. Wooden structures last longer structurally than synthetic materials that ignite quickly. For example; A steel structure is deformed as a result of excessive expansion, iron loses its bearing in concrete structures and there is a risk of collapse from 600 degrees, and there is a danger of collapsing within 15 minutes after this temperature, even if it does not collapse, it cannot be lived. It takes more than one hour for wood with a heat expansion to burn to lose its bearing strength, and at the time of collapse, 4 walls do not create the danger of crushing as they fall over as blocks, it is a more harmless material because it is made of light material.

How are log houses protected against worms and insects?

Trees that are not cracked and whose structure is not damaged are preferred. These selected trees are kept in poison pools. This process is necessary to recover stumps from microorganisms invisible to the eye. In addition, the logs that absorb the drugs in these poison pools do not decay in the future and prevent the formation of insects. It is protected from sunlight with the stain material used on the logs.
