Eurodita assists clients in building log cabins, glulam log homes, and other wood structures with premium-grade materials from Nordic timber that feature eco-friendly construction methods.
Consider your building’s purpose when selecting log thickness. Larger structures often require thicker logs for optimal structural support and insulation purposes.
Thickness Options
Selecting the appropriate wood thickness is key for ensuring optimal strength in a log cabin. Thickness has an enormous influence on strength and stiffness when loaded parallel with fibre direction; so it is wise to choose a supplier offering multiple thickness options.
Eurodita offers an impressive selection of standard log cabins featuring various thicknesses of logs to meet any need for any project, both glulam and sawn ranges are included.
Glulam logs are thicker and more solid than their sawn counterparts, making them better equipped to withstand heavier loads and use. Furthermore, they offer exceptional insulation properties.
Before selecting a thickness for your project, take into consideration its scope and purpose. Larger buildings require thicker logs with sufficient structural strength while thinner logs may be better suited to non-loadbearing uses like wall cladding or light use in dry conditions.
OSB thickness is important because it helps to insulate against heat and cold. Thicker OSB provides greater insulation properties than thinner boards, making it ideally suited to construction in cooler climates.
Aesthetics
Thicker timber logs provide the ultimate aesthetic appeal, and may be just what is needed to strike the ideal balance between beauty and strength. Their increased thickness also improves structural stability as well as insulation capabilities – though larger log sizes could increase costs significantly for higher-end residential or commercial constructions.
Recently, researchers examined Australian consumers’ aesthetic preferences regarding different types of timber joints and their visual appearance. Participants were asked to rate each timber joint according to seven visual attributes including strength, functionality, difficulty of production, longetivity and innovation; plus whether it would fit with overall structure design.
One-way ANOVA analysis provided remarkable insight: most sociodemographic variables including age, gender, education level, ethnicity and occupation had little to no bearing on aesthetic perception of timber joints; with employment status standing out as being particularly notable (Figure 4E). More angular designs (Joints 1, 2, and 5) were perceived as more innovative compared to their counterparts with part-time and casual workers consistently giving higher agreement scores than employed respondents for Joints 1 through 5.
This result suggests that consumers’ perceptions of innovation in timber joints may be heavily impacted by their visual appearance, which means designers should prioritize enhancing the aesthetic appeal of components and joints made from timber in order to make sure that consumers find them desirable and desirable. This holds regardless of employment status or other sociodemographic variables.
Lithuanian company Eurodita is an industry-leading manufacturer of customizable log and timber structures, producing budget-friendly garden log cabins, luxurious sauna barrels and mobile homes from premium Nordic timber. Their B2B team works closely with clients to design structures that withstand harsh environmental conditions like cyclonic winds and earthquakes while their dedicated engineering design team creates long-lasting glulam structures crafted out of premium Nordic timber glulam structures with custom engineering design features for long term performance. Furthermore, Eurodita also offers private label options allowing dealers rebrand their product rebranded product wholesale projects efficiently delivered cost efficiently through bulk orders for large projects.
Climate
Thicker logs typically provide greater insulation and structural support, making them better suited to cold climates and year-round use.
Determining the ideal thickness for your project can be a complex decision that should take several factors into consideration, including building size and scope, climate conditions and log size that fits its function – all key aspects that ensure its long-term viability.
Eurodita’s expertise lies in crafting FSC-certified Nordic wood structures into sturdy glulam structures designed to withstand natural disasters like storms, earthquakes and termite infestation. Their sturdy constructions have proven long-term termite resistance as well as being strong enough to withstand strong storms or earthquakes without collapse.
No matter the style or size of home you need, our selection of 19mm log sheds, log cabins, glulam log houses, garden summer houses, camping pods and barbecue huts, wooden carports and garages will meet your requirements.
Eurodita’s commitment to B2B market means we foster long-term commercial relationships with their dealers. In particular, we work closely with savvy wholesalers and retailers in helping their businesses flourish.
Function
Eurodita was established in 1994, offering log cabins and timber houses tailored specifically to customer requirements. Focused on quality and customization, they strive to find solutions tailored specifically to each project – using state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities without compromising craftsmanship or quality.
Eurodita offers an expansive selection of timber thickness options to find the ideal combination of beauty, strength, and insulation for every type of project. Each thickness has been specifically crafted to meet specific structural needs; thicker logs may be more suited for larger building projects that demand increased structural support while thinner logs make for more comfortable living environments or storage sheds and summerhouses.
When designing timber connections, an accurate estimation of failure plane capacity is of vital importance. Large diameter fasteners loaded parallel to their grain require careful evaluation due to interactions between shear and tensile stresses; to take account of these interactions a new parametric method based on fitting a BOEF model to FE model of timber is proposed as it allows an estimation of effective thickness tef of failure planes in elastic range of fastener.
Results of comparing timber thicknesses reveal that when loading parallel to the fiber, average tensile strength decreases with increasing thickness; this trend echoes those reported in literature for both veneers and solid wood products. Conversely, under perpendicular loading conditions, average tensile modulus increases proportionately as thickness does; these findings correspond with values reported for solid wood veneers and veneers.
A new 3D finite element model of laminated timber behavior has been successfully developed and applied to accurately predict dowel type embedding strength tests performed under tension and shear. It accounts for material nonlinearity during compression, material non-brittle failure under tension/shear stress, strain hardening effects as well as dowel diameter effects on stress distribution within specimens – representing a substantial upgrade compared to older models.
