Pine wood is most commonly used, which, after being thoroughly dried, is specially treated to prevent degradation.
Wood best equalizes temperature variations, making the home warm in winter and cool in summer. This means such a house is more energy-efficient by reducing heating costs.
Honka homes can be mounted on support points (cuzineti) or on a concrete slab, and the walls are made of solid wood or classic materials placed on a wooden frame. Moreover, wood is more flexible compared to other construction materials, which makes the dwelling more resistant to seismic activity.
Solid wood has the unique ability to absorb moisture and release it back into the room when the air is dry. Proper indoor humidity minimizes the development of bacteria and mold, and the air is easy to breathe, which can be an ideal choice for people with allergies or asthma.
Living in a wooden house is healthier, and besides the good air quality, studies have shown that harmonious architectural forms, with a palette of warm colors offered by the color of wood, have a positive impact on people, contributing to a good mood.
