Featured Log Builder: Palmako Log Homes

Overview of Palmako Log Homes

Palmako Log Homes are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of square log garden houses and laminated timber in Estonia. They opened their factory back in 2013 to build premium quality pellets. They also belong to the Lemeks group which makes them part of a complete supply chain, so everything from forest planting to timber sawing in mills and manufacturing homes are taken care of. In 2015, the companies merged together with two of the members from Lemeks Group, AS Palmako and AS Imprest. So Imprest's garden products were added to the Palmako product line to expand their range of products for customers. The log builders four plants together have created more than 51,000 wooden houses, 27,000 m3 of laminated timber products, 24,000 m3 garden products and 46,000 tons of pellets per year. They sell all of these products through a reseller network mainly in Europe, but the main markets are France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Scandinavia. The log builder's products can also be found in other countries as well though too.

Sustainability and Customer Focus

Similar to many log builders these days, Palmako log homes has a mission to build eco-friendly and sustainable buildings. They also highly value being environmentally friendly and promote a healthy lifestyle. The log builders work mainly with work because it's such a workable and lightweight material that's easy to work with. It's also a favourite because it's strong and it helps to create a very efficient building that uses less energy because of its great insulation properties. The log builders at Palmako also value great customer service and are very honest and focused on helping customers with their goals. They are also very responsible and willing to be accountable for their work which is always a great quality to have in a company. The other great thing with the log builders at Palmako is that they are open to changes in the plan because they want to see their customers happy with their log home. The production of all the log homes and products happens in Kavastu in Tartu County, then in Laekvere in Lääne-Viru County, also in Põltsamaa in Jõgeva County, and in the Imprest factory in Ojaküla in Lääne-Viru County. But their Laekvere facility only builds garden houses. At Kavastu they also build laminated timber products, wood pellets, doors and windows for their log houses. Their log houses are perfect to use for vacation cottages or as residential homes.

Product Offerings and Customization

They also make them into saunas. They also have a catalogue which shows you some of the log houses with more thorough explanations of what's included in each design. This is only some of what they offer though, they also help clients create their own customized plans from scratch, or clients will also be able to modify plans to suit their own needs. Their smallest log cabin in the log cabin line is 300 square feet, but customers can also get smaller log cabins built through the models in their backyard cottage section. The larger cottages would be great for that weekend cottage at the lake or for a guest house in the backyard to host guests. The log builders also build pavilions, garages, carports, sheds, fences, furniture, and gardening items. They also build great kids playhouses for the backyard and play equipment like swings and slides. A log builder like this could be perfect for creating the vacation cottage or the backyard you dream of. Even though they are located in Estonia, they ship their products to other places in Europe and elsewhere in the world. So if you see something you like, get in touch with them and find out if they can ship it out to you.
