puristusmenetelmässä

Puristusmenetelmässä refers to a method used in Finnish construction, particularly for building wooden houses. It translates directly to "compression method" or "pressing method." This technique involves pressing together wooden elements, often logs or beams, to create a strong and stable structure. The core principle is to achieve a tight fit between the wooden components, which minimizes air gaps and enhances the building's insulation properties.

The puristusmenetelmässä is known for its durability and resistance to settling. By applying controlled pressure during the assembly process, the wood is effectively locked into place. This method is commonly associated with traditional Finnish log house construction but has also been adapted for modern timber-frame buildings. The aim is to create a solid, weather-resistant, and energy-efficient dwelling. The specific details of the pressing process can vary depending on the type of wood used, the dimensions of the components, and the desired structural integrity.
