Log (rounded)
Pros:
✅ Authentic antique appearance
✅ Best natural thermal insulation due to tight joints
✅ No interior finishing required – the wood is beautiful on its own
Cons:
❌ Shrinks up to 10% (wait 1-2 years before finishing)
❌ May crack when drying
❌ More difficult to build (requires an experienced craftsman)
Timber (profiled/glued)
Pros:
✅ Geometrically perfect – walls are even, corners are clear
✅ Minimal shrinkage (especially for glued timber – up to 2%)
✅ Fast construction – like a construction kit
Cons:
❌ Requires insulation and finishing (if not glued timber)
❌ Less A "spiritual" look – reminiscent of a modern home
❌ More expensive than logs of the same diameter
Logs offer atmosphere, while timber offers practicality. Your priorities are everything! Construction of houses, saunas, and gazebos from rounded logs in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region
