Important information that you should know about Log Cabins sold in the UK and abroad:

  

 

Nearly all Log cabin companies’ import from Europe and a lot of these cabins suffer from the same problems, drafts and leaking windows are always problems that arise after a fairly short amount of time after weather changes occur, filler and finger joints when used in walls, roof and floor will weaken the cabins structure. (Read more in the bullet points below)

 

We are amongst a small group of companies that have come together to iron out all of the existing problems that have plagued the UK log cabin industry for years. You see the log cabins that are sold in the UK have always been inferior to the one’s that are sold within Europe and Canada!  Why? Well for the sake of keeping costs down many UK companies cut down on quality, they believed that because our climate isn’t as harsh as Europe and Canada that inferior windows wouldn’t really make a difference but they were wrong! UK customers don’t want to suffer drafts, neither do they want the heavy rain that keeps hammering our country seeping through there windows or doors and because of this we decided to go about improving our Log Cabins to the highest standard in the industry.

 

We do not have any filler in any of our Cabins, How?

1.     We just use better cuts of wood which are thoroughly checked by our mill before use. Scrap wood should be used to heat homes not to build cabins!

We do not use any finger joints in any of our cabin structures, why?

2.     We say why join scrap bits of wood together when you can use naturally long lengths that don’t look like a patch work quilt, stain more effectively and the grain runs fluently across the whole length which doesn’t come unstuck in direct sunlight and cuts down on our carbon foot print because we are not adding glues to our wood or repeatedly running each piece of wood through electric eating joining machinery. (In our opinion natural lengths of wood win hands down)

What makes our windows & doors so much better than the rest?

3.     Our 28mm cabins all have quality single glazing with weather proof seals.

4.     34mm Cabins have quality double glazing with weatherproof seals.

5.     44mm, 70mm, 90mm & all Twin skins all have Double Glazed tilt & turn windows, with weather proof seals and 5 point locking systems.

 

 

CAUTION!!!!   If you are considering a cabin from any company then you should ask what window system they use and if the answer is different to the above then act with caution, as they are more than likely still using the widely used window & door design which still have problems, be especially cautious when buying a thicker log cabin from 44mm upwards, you should be buying a cabin that you would feel happy to sleep in and therefore compromising on things like window quality would be a decision that may come back to haunt you later .
