Therefore the installation of electrical wiring must be carried out with due care and responsibility. Incorrect wiring can lead to loss of property and a threat to human health and life. Attention should also be paid to the aesthetic side of this issue, as aesthetically designed electrical wiring and appliances complement the interior design. For log houses, there exist two wiring options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Outdoor wiring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> With this option, the wiring is visible. For example, retro style wiring, popular in the mid-20th century, is now back in fashion \u2013 it allows you to maintain the integrity of logs while also being a full-fledged element of the interior style. This method uses copper stranded wires with synthetic insulation of different shades. The wires are attached to the wall using special insulators. Not only is this safe, but also aesthetically attractive.<\/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\/IMG_4808.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-dpIZn3GP\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"800\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/electrician-in-log-house\/img_4808\/\" class=\"wp-image-800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4808.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-dpIZn3GP\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"799\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/electrician-in-log-house\/dsc08475\/\" class=\"wp-image-799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08475-400x265.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Wiring inside the log walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our company offer necessary preparation for this type of wiring.

If possible, the customer is recommended to arrive onsite when their log house is ready (or during the acceptance) and go through the electrical points on the walls again. It helps to see firsthand how the wiring will look like and adjust the height and\/or side of the switch if necessary (for example, to the left or to the right of the door).<\/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\/IMG_20180419_104107.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-dpIZn3GP\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"797\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/electrician-in-log-house\/dav-12\/\" class=\"wp-image-797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107-24x18.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107-36x27.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_20180419_104107-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-dpIZn3GP\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"798\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/electrician-in-log-house\/%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%be%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b6%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b5-985\/\" class=\"wp-image-798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985-24x18.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985-36x27.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ladoga-log-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-985-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the wiring diagram is aligned, the builders then drill holes in the logs (32-38 mm).
