Internally Cladding a 44mm Log Cabin (1)

glulam cabins

glulam residential log cabins

Over the years, one tends to learn what works and does not work. As the first company from the Baltic’s, or for that matter any where in the world, to supply the UK with Interlocking Log cabins, we understand what can and should not be done with log cabins.

Our blog today is going to focus on what you should not attempt to do!

There are too many back street companies selling in our opinion waste wood, and referring to these or calling them Log Cabins. It’s easy to spot them, they brag about selling 70.000 a year + log cabins, and show mountains of cabins in plastic wrapping 10 high! These in our opinion are a waste of perfectly good timber! Manufactured on high-speed machines, and designed for maximum profit. Not longevity or Safety, and forget Quality!  Its easy to spot these companies, they ALWAYS have a sale on!

The companies that are high quality brands be them watches, Rolex, or computer’s, Apple, do not have summer sales, winter sales etc, and neither do we! This is because our Brand is strong, our Quality is renowned, and our prices reflect our Workmanship!

So over the years we have learned what to offer the customer and what not to offer. We as a company believe in offering quality every time.

With the failing of past governments and the shortages of housing, more and more people are looking to live in the Garden. This is illegal, so planning permission is essential.

But!!! Looking past the laws of the land, we would like to focus on what you should attempt to use as a starting structure for a Residential dwelling and what you should not!

Too many people are looking to internally clad a solid wood 44mm log cabin, to bring them up to a habitable standard  (this is on the advice of doggy dealers offering this as an option to earn crazy amounts of money for internal cladding) this is just plum crazy, and not just because firstly the timber is way too thin, and that it moves around way too much as the different seasons come around, also that the timber shrinks, and not forgetting that it does not in its self have any U value to speak of, and the biggest problem is that it is not structurally sound! The Cabin was not designed for the extra weight, or stress of internal timbers bolted to the walls and roof! A residential cabin, is designed from the off set to be a residential cabin, a garden log cabin, is not a residential cabin.

Most 44mm solid log cabins are designed for that extra room in the garden to have a snooker room, or drum kit, put garden tools away, the patio set, etc, garden log cabins are just better buildings than the old T&G Shed, they last a lot longer, far more aesthetic, and have far more uses, But! They are not residential buildings! When ordering a log cabin from logcabinslv.co.uk, we always ask the purpose, we do not try and sell you a building for the sake of just selling a cabin.

As most of you know solid timber be it 44mm, 60mm or 70mm and 90mm is affected by the seasons, the timber swells, contracts, and will do this most of its life! Most dealers will tell you other wise, but this is plain and simply the truth! Yes you can add timber stain, and yes it will slow some of the movements down, but not entirely.

We at logcabins LV believe the starting structure( building-Cabin) should be manufactured from 80mm engineered laminated glulam log-timber to internally clad and insulated. We also will offer with this kind of cabin very robust purlins of 80mm x 300mm ( glulam) which will take the support of roof cladding and insulation.

Our Engineered Glulam Timber only compresses, it does not move, expand, or contract, and at a starting grade of C32 it is truly the one timber that should be in the foremost on your mind to use to build a residential log cabin from.

We hate blowing our own trumpet, we like people to read and figure out for themselves why we are the best and what they should use, however, today is an exception, as the matter at hand is far to grave to leave it up to chance.

Laminated, Glulam log cabins are the only choice when it comes to internally insulate and clad a residential log cabin, park home.

Please follow this link and read and view some up close photos of good Glulam engineered graded logs, and the not so good finger jointed timber.

Ours and the Rest!

https://www.logcabinslv.co.uk/blog/2014/08/12/good-and-bad-laminated-glulam-timber-log-cabins/

Solid log cabins can be adapted to support great weights, and insulation, but you must inform the manufacturer of the Kn values etc.

Log Cabins VS Sheds

This year has been an awful trading year (reported as one of the worst ever) for the shed industry, as reported by a Top Nail and Screw Manufacturer in the UK,  reported reasons for this is that garden sheds are very much unchanged in design, with same build technique’s, and pricing way too high for  low specifications.

When we first introduced Interlocking Log Cabins into the UK market 12 years ago, only 5% of the public understood what a log cabin was.

Now 12 years on the Cabin market is now over-taking the shed in sales.

However! The cabin market has its faults also, when you search for a log cabin on Google, Yahoo, Bing, you will notice that most log cabin websites are selling the same designs as each other. Most of the designs are not for the UK market but Germany!

This is one reason most of the high volume mills copied our clock house log cabin design, as their standard designs were, are, boring and cheaply made. Sadly they have also now cheapened the Clock House, as their manufacturing departments want to manufacture it for as little as possible, keep sale prices high, and boost profits.

The Cabin market has only a few manufacturers that blow fresh air into garden, offering different designs, different timber thicknesses, and quality!

Logcabins.lv has the largest design portfolio of log cabins, timber buildings, residential cabins, timber frame residential park home Mobiles in the world.

We have also the largest range of Camping Pods, which just happen to be the Mega Pod of all Camping Pods.

We do not claim fame too much, but we can hold our hand on our heart and say that Logcabins.lv has been the largest influence of design, Price and Quality in the UK Log cabin market.

If you are looking for quality, price design, do not settle for less.

Glulam Log Cabins-Glulam Buildings

When purchasing a Glulam log cabin you must be sure that the company you are thinking of purchasing it from are able to offer you superb quality, that their Glulam logs are graded, and that that grade exceeds C32 at all time. Also that they can prove to you that they have sufficient flat bed presses, not vertical to manufacture the Glulam log on.

We are able to manufacture the following from our engineered Glulam timber…

We are also able to offer our engineered glulam twinskin system.

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Residential Log Cabins

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Park homes

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm Glulam Mobile Homes

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Chalets

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Granny Annex

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Garden Offices

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Houses

And so very, very, very much more!!

We are able to offer our glulam timber in the following species.

Pine.

Spruce

Northern Siberian Larch

 

There are too many companies on the internet offering Glulam Log Cabins that are quite frankly rubbish, they stick bits of off cut timbers together and then label the building a Glulam cabin, the correct terminology for this timber is (crap) or finger jointed!

Finger Jointed timber is great for 19mm roof boards, or fence panels, etc, but it is not worthy of the title Glulam Engineered timber.

As you can see by the photos attached to this blog, we are able to manufacture 80m spans with our engineered laminated, Glulam, timber?

80 meters is a massive span, and to accomplish this the Glulam timber used is under incredible strain, and as a company to be asked to build a span of this magnitude, is an honor! But it is also an endorsement of the quality of our Engineered Glulam Timber.

We hate blowing our own trumpet, but who would you rather buy your Glulam log cabin from, Us? Or an unknown?

If your looking for a quality Glulam log cabin, please send us an email.

Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins

We first introduced Engineered twin Skin Glulam Log Cabins to the English Garden market about 8 years ago.

We also introduced them into the Residential Market showing their massive potential and how to save money and increase U values plus offering durability and quality.

There are many companies that truly want you to spend 1000’s more on internally cladding a single solid skin cabin log cabin, just for the sake of cladding their pockets with money on the prefix of giving you a better insulation package.

Most of the time this leads to awful condensation and headaches.

Glulam log cabins which are manufactured by us are not just amazing they are truly an engineering marvel.

Unlike other twin skins solid log cabins in the market, Logcabins.lv have allowed for internal, external movement, and with our new glulam twin skin technology system easily passing building regulations, and getting required U values, we believe that Logcabins.lv will as always push the industry to change their method of build, and invest in better machinery.

The only insulated building available in the garden 8 years ago was either a shed with thin panelised walls, very expensive timber frame conservatories, and of course the dreaded expensive brick and block construction.

Our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Cabins have over the years changed the way people think about log cabins in general, and their usage.

The Twin Skin Log cabin Design stems from Mother Russia.  Mother Nature in the most northern parts of Russia can reach minus 50 / 60 in the winter, and as lumber is the most freely available building material, cabins with very thick double walls emerged offering amazing U vales, as the internal part of the wall was filled with wood shavings/ sheep’s wool etc.

Our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins are the best in the UK by far, as our expertise has come from 40 years of experience.

The whole purpose of bringing this building technique to the market place was a passion to offer the best and keep this amazing deign concept alive, but to bring it to modern day standards..

Beware of any company selling Twin Skin log cabins that are not on our dealers list.

The dangers of buying a glulam twin skin log cabin that is not manufactured  on a CNC computerized machine could in the long run be a very expensive mistake. Each and every notch must be inline, and stay true to each and every other notch, a manual machine cannot guarantee this, our investment of 10.5 Million Euros  was needed to make our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins the best in the UK-Europe offering grading of C32 to C40.

If you are uncertain about anything regarding a Engineered  Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabin please feel free to send us an email enquiries@logcabinslv.co.uk and let us help you.

Do not settle for less. www.logcabinslv.co.uk

Highly Insulated Timber Frame Housing

As one of the largest timber frame house suppliers in Norway, we are often asked to manufacture highly insulted timber frame buildings for the northern most part of the country. Norwegians are very much into keeping the landscape looking natural and designing their properties to blend into the countryside.

Norway has one of the highest build regulation standards in the world. TEK 10.

Three times that of the UK and most of Europe.

Insulation values are a major part of this high standard, but also on par with insulation is build quality. Visual Graded CE KD C24 is the only grade expectable for all weight bearing walls, roof etc. Most of Europe and UK use Visual Graded C16, which is the bottom most part of the Visual Grade Scale. (Please ask your builder which grade he is thinking of using in your timber frame build).

Norwegians love to use sedum roofing out in the wilds, as this offers amazing insulation properties to the timber frame or Log Cabin dwellings and gives the building a natural feel, and also brings natural into the design, so it’s a plus, plus , plus!

Sedum roofing is a very heavy alternative to steal tiles, or shingles. All our timber frame buildings are built regardless if they are erected in Northern Norway or Essex with strength in every part of the construction.

If you are looking for a quality timber frame building-house-office-garage-park home-mobile-granny annex- etc, please give us a call or send us an email.

Timber frame and Log Cabins

This Blog today is just to speak quickly about timber frame buildings and log cabins, and how they are greatly different.

There are quite a few agents/dealers in the UK- Europe that will offer you a log cabin, and call it a residential building. But the difference between the two is night and day.

A residential building, timber frame, is designed to be a 12-month a year dwelling. A single skin log cabin is not.

In certain countries where rainfall is minimal and the season is hot then very cold, then a single skin 220mm Scandinavian log cabin is great, but in some parts of Europe-UK where the weather is very damp, this kind of structure has its limitations due to rainfall.

When a company offers you a single skin log cabin say in 70mm solid timber and offers to clad the building inside, this still does not get around the moisture issue.

This year we have had hundreds of people call us and ask us if our twin skin log cabins (solid timber) will meet building regulations, and sat tests, etc, and the honest answer is yes, but we need to redesign the whole cabin. And we 9 times out of 10 ask them to look at the timber frame selection, which we have over one hundred designs in our gallery.

Timber frame is truly the only way to go if you are on a budget, and you are looking for super insulted building, which will also last the test of time.

Below are some photos of Timber Frame buildings we have manufactured and built.

If you are looking for a mobile home, Park Home, or a Quality Retreat, please give us a call.

Chapel Log Cabins

WOW…….. a blast from the past! Here is our Chapel Log Cabin, another iconic design by LV, Our Chapel Log Cabin is a very unique design to us, showcasing what we believe is the tallest door ever manufactured for a garden log cabin. Our chief designer wanted to offer the public a building that fell with-in planning, quality windows and doors (to a budget), aesthetically pleasing, well built, and just looked incredibly different from anything everything else which was on the market. We have now stopped manufacturing this cabin from 58mm Glulam logs. Now the Chapel Log Cabins are manufactured from only 80mm Engineered Glulam graded C32 logs. The reason we have changed timber spec is down to the fact that we have bettered the windows and doors, and made them truly residential quality with heavy duty hinges, triple glazing and quality hardware.Also we have moved production to a more advanced manufacturing unit where we have brand new notching machines, and moulders. Gone are the days of flat bed CNC machines. The Chapel Log Cabin uniquely designed door needs to be made on our new Full Automatic CNC Weinig Window and Door Line. The Chapel log cabin door it’s a very difficult door to manufacture and for it to keep its shape, integrity, and have long lasting durability it needs to be manufactured from a heavier framework. Sadly as specification of this cabin has risen so has the price, however it is a cabin that once erected in your garden, will last the test of time, and offer you many years of enjoyment. Log Cabins LV, the number one company in Europe for log cabin designs, quality and price….

Mobile Homes from logcabinslv.co.uk

Mobile Homes, what are they really worth?

Here’s a challenge, go to eBay, put what ever mobile home you are thinking of buying, look at the price offered to you, and have a look at what a similar one 10 years old is worth and you will be horrified, We Were!!

What we noticed is that if you pay in 2005 £80.000, in 2015 it will be worth less than £20.000. This kind of depreciation is not what most companies write in their literature about safe investment, release equity, and blar, blar, blar!

Looking after our retired population tends to sway on defrauding them from their life’s hard earned earnings. It’s almost like the Sales reps from dreaded Spanish time share clan have invaded the Mobile Home Market! I know that sounds harsh, but building a Mobile Home under the caravan act BS 3632 and charging £80.000 is robbery, and anyone offering this kind of build quality, with that kind of price tag is running all the way to the bank skipping and laughing!

So what is the alternative, how can you keep your hard earned money in the bank, and purchase a quality Mobile home that is not manufactured under the dreaded BS 3632 awful, Caravan Mobile Home specification!

Simple, give us a call, or send us an email, once you see what kind of specification we offer, and the price tag attached, and how we can guarantee your purchase will hold its value, we will then ask you to ask which ever company you have been speaking to regarding buying a Mobile Home to give you a price on our specification! We are certain (1) they can’t manufacture to that specification,(2) and if by change they are able to offer something similar, their price will be double to ours!

We have been manufacturing timber frame houses, Kits, for more than 30 years, our specification on all dwelling homes, be them mobile homes or 2 storey timber frame apartments will out match, out grade, out price all others!!

Bespoke Park Home-Timber Frame-Highly Insulated-Homes

Log cabins, garden timber offices, 1-2-3 bay timber garages, outhouses, nurseries, timber frame buildings, schools classrooms, granny annex, work rooms, workshops, art studio, residential structures, residential park homes, are all available in bespoke, custom designs. Unlike 99% of other companies we do not just bespoke wall sizes, ridge heights, positions of windows and doors, we also custom design the window and door sizes, shapes, and integrity. If you are looking for a door that must have toughened glass, just ask, if you would like a door to be wheelchair friendly, no problem.

The reason Log Cabins LV is so dominant in the cabin, timber frame market place is partly to due with the fact that we have the best dealer network worldwide; also we are very choosy about who becomes an LV dealer. If you do not see our trade mark shield on the dealers website and each cabin image, then they are not selling our products, if a company claims to sell our products, but you can not see our logo, please do not hesitate to send us an email or give us a call. Too many companies are already trying to claim they are part of our dealer network and that the cabin’s they are selling are LV. Please email us if you are in doubt. Attached are a few images of our new to come Passive Park Homes, we feel Park homes are poorly manufactured and over priced, so we now offering the market a quality Park Home Timber Frame Home which is massively insulated, with quality over sized, under priced, graded C24 timber frame work, which will make the rest of the industry run for cover!!

With the best windows and doors in the business, your bespoke park home will be the best it can be!

120mm Glulam Log Cabins

Cricket Pavilions, Garden Offices, Granny Annex, Stables, Garages, Studios, Commercial Buildings, Schools, Nurseries and many other types of wooden constructed buildings can be manufactured from 120mm glulam logs.

Our Glulam Log Cabins are not just the best; they are unequal in the industry.

Our windows and doors are way above the industry standard, our insulation levels again above industry standard, and our build, well! Once again, way, way above the industry standard. If you look at the photos below you will see the size of the internal purlins, they are way over industry regulations, they are also graded to C40, this grade is unheard of in the UK where Glulam Log Cabins are concerned.

We can offer all glulam cabins with our new dove tail twinskin system, this allows the internal skin to move independently from the external, which combats cold bridging and movement issues. Sadly there are many companies out there calling themselves logcabins experts, who sadly know zero nero about log cabins! Please call us if you would like advice…

All our glulam cabins are pegged through out, they come with stainless steel rods.

We can pre-drill cable holes inside the logs to keep all electric wires hidden from view, we are able to offer a full turnkey solution.

Logcabins.lv is with out doubt the company to turn to if you are looking for quality, honesty, price and product! We are 100% committed to making the market offer more for less!

logcabinslv.co.uk the number one for quality, design, price.
