1907

The first log home of the Vainionpää family was built, and it is still in use today. This is also the year of founding the first sawmill in the family.

1965

The start of manufacturing log homes for both Finland and export. Central Europe, especially Germany, France and Austria, was an important market for the company.

1990

Polar Life Haus got hold of the whole production chain - from raw timber to ready houses. The sawmill belonging to the company is located in Lehtimäki and the factory in Töysä, Finland. Already in the 90s, the facitilies were equipped with the latest woodworking technology available - from kiln-drying to the last finishing touches.

1992

The German market held an immensely important role for the company. The influence of this still shows today: the quality of our products was honed to perfection to answer the high expectations of the German market.

1992-1998

Product development florished. A number of new logs entered the market: horizontally laminated log, T-notch, laminated round log and D log. Polar Life Haus started using spruce as the main material of log homes. Our goal is to stay on the first line of product development, which is why we are constantly developing our existing products further and coming up with new ideas.

1998

A new joinery machine Hundegger was introduced to our factory. Accurate to the millimetre, this machine is used for cutting all especially demanding joints of log homes, such as those in roof structures.

2000

As more and more houses were produced for the Finnish market, a new notch solution perfect for log homes in urban residential areas, the City Corner, was developed.

2001

The manufacturing of pre-cut homes for the Finnish market started.

2002

The Softline Profile was developed to give our log homes a finished and elegant look. It conceals the gaps between the logs and is what makes the quality of Polar Life Haus log homes outstanding.

2003

To make pre-cut homes more ecological, the traditional materials such as plastic and mineral wool were replaced with a breathing wall construction consisting of paper and ecological thermal insulation made of wood fibre.

2004

The new generation took over, as brothers Harri and Mikko Vainionpää became the new managers of the company. Harri Vainionpää is the CEO and Mikko Vainionpää is in charge of sales and product development.

2004-2008

Modern and ecological wooden homes grew more and more popular, and the number of pre-cut homes manufactured at our factory increased. Many of them feature a clean and simple design.

2005

This year marked the start of manufacturing modern post & beam homes. Polar Life Haus brought this traditional German method of building to Finland and developed it further to create modern homes that combine wood and glass and are free of settling. More than a half of all houses produced at our factory still went for export, the most important markets featuring Germany, Russia, France, Japan and the United States. Most houses manufactured for export are log homes and projects of a very individual nature.

2006

Clean and simple architecture and large glass surfaces grew their popularity among all product lines. A good example of this was the new Plusvilla Collection designed with the Plusarchitects.

2007

2007 was a year of celebration. Already a hundred years had passed from founding the first sawmill belonging to the family. Traditions, know-how and deep knowledge have been passed on from generation to generation ever since, and today, it is already the fourth generation in charge of the company.

2008

The latest model of Hundegger joinery machine, Hundegger K2i, was purchased and taken into use at the factory. At the time, it was the only of its kind in Finland. Thanks to this investment, the quality and stage of completion of Polar Life Haus homes is virtually unmatched. We warmly welcome all interested in the production process to visit our factory in Töysä.

2009

2009 was the year of project building both in Finland and abroad. One of the projects was Kultaranta Resort in Naantali, Finland. A village of luxurious vacation homes, it features 15 Plusvillas delivered by Polar Life Haus.

2010

More and more houses had a modern design. Glass became a more prominent part of our wooden homes, and the general appreciation towards wood as a building material grew. As a result, more and more houses featured natural, untreated wooden surfaces in their interior.

2011

The new Sharpline Profile was introduced. Like its predecessor, the Softline Profile, it has a special drip break to conceal the gaps between logs, but also a more modern, sharper look. It is a perfect match for modern houses with a dynamic and clear design.

2012

Polar Life Haus is constantly developing both the products and the designing and manufacturing processes. In 2012, yet another Hundegger K2i joinery machine was purchased and installed. This machine represents the most modern wood processing technology available in the whole world, and Polar Life Haus was the first to acquire one in Finland. Thanks to this, even the most demanding solutions are no problem for us. Our aim is to make houses with the perfect quality and have customers be 100% happy with their home.

2013 - the year of growth

2013 was a year of growth for Polar Life Haus. The turnover growth was 12% compared to the year before. Usually, more than half of our production goes for export, but 2013 was the first year when the deliveries to Finland exceeded those to other countries. Over the years, we have manufactured and delivered close to 10 000 houses, and the dreams of our customers have continued to inspire us to question and surpass the limits of wooden architecture. Each Polar Life Haus is an individual.

2014

2014 was a year of many projects for Polar Life Haus. We had the pleasure to deliver a luxurious log house hotel to Sierra Nevada, Spain, as well as a kindergarten to Virrat, Finland. We believe that in the following years wood will continue to grow its popularity as a building material for different projects and public buildings. We want to stand at the forefront of this development. Wood is a building material with tremendous potential.

2015

In 2015 our Polar Life Haus brand was unified, and since January it has been identical in all our export markets. Export remains an important part of our business, as a half of our products are delivered abroad each year.

2016 - large-scale resorts have a significant role

We have delivered hotels and holiday resorts both in Finland and abroad. To mention a few examples, a luxury ski resort El Lodge in Sierra Nevada Spain, and Naava Chalet, a holiday apartment complex in Ähtäri, Finland.

2017 - Polar Life Haus dominates the 2017 Finnish Housing Fair in Mikkeli

We participated in the Finnish Housing Fair 2017 held in Mikkeli, with two log houses on show. Wave took the first place, while Villa Saimaanhelmi placed second.

Dlouholeté zkušenosti s jednotlivými domy a mezinárodními zákazníky

Polar House je mezinárodní firma. Kromě Finska, naše nejdůležitější trhy jsou střední Evropa a Rusko. Od začátku vzniku naší společnosti, export je důležitou součástí našeho podnikání. V současnosti tvoří export 50% naší produkce. Naše dlouholeté zkušenosti v exportu nám pomohly jak řešit projekty individuálně. Tradiční kultura tesařů Zimmermeister ve střední Evropě nás od samého počátku inspirovala a to zejména jejich hodnoty o cti a kvality práce.

Inspirace z přírody

Čistá finský příroda je pro nás neustále zdrojem inspirace. Dřevo je bezesporu nejšetrnější stavební materiál k životnímu prostředí. Během své dlouhé životnosti, se chová jako úložiště uhlíku. Dřevo je také dobré pro lidi – je příjemné na dotyk a studie ukázaly, že je to ten nejúčinnější povrchový materiál při snižování hladiny stresu. Les je vždy přítomen v dřevěném domě.

Výroba srubů a dřevěných domů je naše hlavní mise. Bez ohledu na velikost a rozsah, jsme se zavázáni k realizaci Vašeho snu o individuálním bydlení, které přispívá k Vaší pohodě. Uděláme vše proto, abyste nám důvěřovali.
