Moreover, wood can regulate the temperature due to its natural mechanism of ventilation. Heat accumulation properties can also be improved artificially \u2013 for this, you need to better site your home and windows in relation to the cardinal directions. For example, it is advisable to site the living spaces on the eastern, southern or western sides as they enjoy the most sun during a day, brining in extra heat and light. Useful recommendations for designing heating systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\n\n\tA\n\tstove or a fireplace is not only an excellent source of heat, but\n\talso a decorative element. It is desirable to install it in a wall\n\tor corner so that it could provide space heating for several rooms\n\tat the same time. Choose a model with high heat dissipation, for\n\texample, a heat-storing pot stone stove;\n\t<\/li><li>\n\n\tModern\n\tlog homes often have a large area, and one heating source is\n\tobviously not enough. People often install radiators working on any\n\ttype of energy or underfloor heating;\n\t<\/li><li>\n\n\tRadiators\n\tshould be spread evenly throughout the room, and take into account\n\talso its distance from the wall. If placed too close, this can lead\n\tto wood drying and cracking;\n\t<\/li><li>\n\n\tA\n\thouse must have good ventilation in order to optimize the flow of\n\tcold and hot air which have different weight and velocity;\n\t<\/li><li>\n\n\tProper\n\twaterproofing, thermal insulation of the roof and basement.\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best heating system for a log house where you live all year round is a combination of different sources of heat, for example, a stove (a fireplace) and underfloor heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-pveds1nQ\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"739\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/heating-in-a-wooden-house\/%d1%84%d0%be%d1%82%d0%be-%d0%b2-%d0%b8%d0%bd%d1%81%d1%82\/\" class=\"wp-image-739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-16x24.jpg 16w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-24x36.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e-\u0432-\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-pveds1nQ\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"738\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/heating-in-a-wooden-house\/dsc08692\/\" class=\"wp-image-738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08692-400x264.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A log house requires a properly installed heating system that determines whether the premises will be warm, the house\u2019s service life will be long and the logs\u2019 appearance will be preserved.
