Eco Housing not Eco Housing!

 

energy efficient housing

eco housing

Passive Housing, or Energy Efficient Housing are now all the rage, and Eco Villages will be popping up all over the place.

To gain the publics trust, there needs to be stringent guidelines on planning, but more importantly the understanding of what truly is an eco house.

Log Cabins LV has been in the timber building industry for more years than we care to remember, we manufacture and erect timber frame buildings mainly in Norway, where drastic freezing winters are a norm, we understand about energy efficiency, what heating systems work in a passive structure, and what don’t!

We also understand that something’s work, and others do not.

Our years of experience, and our understanding of timber frame technology, plus our very highly skilled architects, who are completely versed in passive, energy efficient housing, would not make the silly mistakes that are listed here in this daily mail article.

Sadly, it is very easy to believe in Kevin Mc Cloud as he is seen as an authority on such matters as passive and energy efficient housing, but I would like to point out that he is based in the UK, where timber frame technology is seriously behind the times, brick and block is seen as a true investment, but to be passive, eco, block is not the build type!

 

Yet, using or even offering gas in a newly built energy efficient house, is somewhat (crazy), and lazy!

 

An eco house should be almost air tight, if not airtight, the amount of moisture omitted from the house hold use, should be dealt with by the air recuperation system, this would stop damp, but knowing UK house builders, these pathetic eco houses are no doubt damp from the very core of the stud work!

Kevin Mc Cloud is not an Architect; he does not have any qualifications on Passive Housing, or Eco Builds.

He is very much using his MBE and his presence on the UK TV to win support and gain financially on building projects. HAB housing!!!

He is not challenging anyone; he is just earning himself a large bank account!

Any man that makes a TV program, where he cuts an old beautiful oak and makes a shed out of it, especially an Oak Tree! Well!!!! Shame on you Mc Cloud.

 

I challenge Kevin McCloud to search for an industry that needs a shake up and do a program on offering solutions to that industry that truly benefits the population, and not his own pocket! If you need help Kevin….I know one!!!!

Log Cabins USA ( eagle criminal log cabins)

At last!!! we have found a worthy dealer to partner with in America, the launch of their new website will be within 8  weeks.

They are very focused on off grid, mother earth, and the freedom to thrive!!

Tiny Houses, Back Yard Shacks, Log Cabins, and Timber Buildings.

 

Our New Partners will be offering comprehensive pricing, they operate on sound principles and are major wholesalers of Timber products.

A final sad word…

Sadly we have been forced to break ties with eagle  criminal log cabins in America due to their desire to excessively overcharge customers and overcharge their new dealers. This  is not part of our company ethic, they still are showing our products on their website claiming them to be their own, as you can see on the page below they have now covered up our registered trade mark! (top left hand corner) , but you can still find our content, trademark on their website.

Their entire website is made up of our content! Beware…

This just goes to show what kind of criminals we must deal with in this industry!

We would warn anyone doing business with Thomas or Vivian at eagle criminal log cabins to be aware that they are two very devious people! We would volunteer the advice of steering clear of these two old retired very dubious pensioners.

Our new Styles of Passive Garden Offices are not just highly insulated structures; they are in essence a super timber frame passive style building.

 

Because of our geological location, we are able to not just obtain the most sought after timber on the planet; we are able also to pick the very best timber from that stock, and manufacturer  passive buildings timber frame super insulated that are in every way superb!

 

All the Baltic countries neighbor onto Russia, and it is a known fact that Russian Timber especially Northern Siberian Larch is truly the best of its kind on the planet!

 

Moreover, this is the main timber we use for most of our external cladding for our highly insulated energy efficient passive homes, Garden Offices and Residential timber frame Cabins.

 

All our windows and doors are not just hand made and conform to all CE requirements, being either triple or quadruple glazed.

Our Windows and Doors are seen as the best in the business, but buying direct as a company from us here at LV you will notice a huge saving at once and a 100% up shift in the quality, delivery and service you are receiving from your other suppliers!

We truly believe eventually all garden buildings above 15 sq meters, will need planning, and this is where the new directive from the EU will come into play, as it would mean energy efficient garden buildings will become law! This means passive garden buildings.

 

If you are looking for a shed, then your lawn mower is safe, but if you are looking for a garden office, then prices for this kind of product are going to increase 5 fold if not 10, as large timber sizes will become highly in demand.

 

90% of timber frame companies charge way over the odds, the price per square meter and for their specification you are offered beggars belief, most build on site, because they do not have a factory, most use small diameter timber with a grade of only C16, which is the lowest grade timber, and most offer low quality windows and doors.

 

 

If you truly want a quality timber frame building, a passive style studwork-framework, with intense insulation properties, amazing windows and doors, and all at an unbelievable price, then please send us an email, and please visit our website.

Energy Efficient Residential Timber Frame Housing will be in the very near future the number one build type offered to the majority of the public, due to its quick build and excellent insulation properties, sound performance and of course environmentally better than the standard brick and block construction.

We at log cabins LV offer not just manufacturers of garden log cabins, glulam buildings, etc we also over the next coming months we will be offering timber frame self build packages.

Our Self build homes are with out doubt the best in the market to date.

There are many companies quoting this same Brag, but we believe the Brag is in the pudding, or in our business it’s in the Timber!

 

Firstly, we only manufacturer using C24 FSC KD Timber.

99% of UK timber frame built homes are manufactured using the inferior C16 KD.

99% of companies in the UK deliver to site half made panels, or in some cases just stud work! And then build there thin timber frame panel on site! If it rains, or is damp???

If it rains, or is damp, this means your timber frame house will rot, from inside to out! (fact).

Panels should come to site finished, also protected from the rain!

 

Over the coming months we will show case, energy efficient self build timber frame housing, from log cabins LV and Iformbuildings.

Over the coming years, we are going to see a massive push by the central Government, (Brussels) to which all European Countries will harmonies build regulations, there are many reasons for this, but it seems the main reason is our usage-dependence on natural resources, energy consumption.

Designing dwellings that are affordable, energy efficient, passive, will be the task of architects, but it will be us the manufacturers that will determine the price and quality.

Log Cabins LV has over many years pushed quality, design and price to the forefront of the log cabins market.

We also have over the last few years pushed prices down and quality levels up on timber frame and passive building designs, homes.

 

We at log cabins LV believe that everyone one should be a winner, and that fair profits are healthy for a business, but also fair pricing for the customer.

Too many companies strive to earn profit, and forget about the main goal in life, which is to make our society a better place.

 

There are nearly 7 Billion people on our planet and this means the need for housing has never been greater!

But what’s more important is the need for clever creative design!

So companies build rows upon rows of awful brick clad buildings, all heated with gas, and all poorly made and insulated. We create too much waste needlessly.

Highly Insulated Passive Timber frame housing, which is all from FSC certified forests, triple glazing, and a clever highly insulated panel system, is all you need to make a superb Passive house, (OK, there is a bit more to it).

However, what makes a house a home?

 

Quality of Build.

Comfort.

Design.

Longevity.

Affordability.

Investment.

 

If you are looking for a quality timber frame, passive house! Our professional team of architects, skilled work force and years of experience are here to help you take the next step! Do not settle for less!!
