The range

Polar Life Haus modern log house

Modern log houses

Solid laminated spruce logs, individually designed. Non-settling structures are available, and the factory has the world’s largest log planer.

Polar Life Haus eco wooden house

Eco wooden houses

Plastic-free pre-cut timber frame houses. Wood fibre insulation and paper replace plastic and mineral wool, and the walls can breathe. Standard insulation is 250 mm in the walls and 450 mm in the ceiling.

Polar Life Haus hybrid house

Hybrid houses

Timber, glass and steel in one building. Steel adds load-bearing capacity, so fewer pillars are needed and designs can be more open.

Polar Life Haus HTWS frameless glass corner

HTWS glass walls

Patented integrated windows with an aluminium frame and tempered glass. Frameless corners and wall-size glass surfaces, without mouldings.

Holiday homes can be built as log, eco wooden or hybrid houses. Browse the house models or all Polar Life Haus products.
