The Advantages of Insulated Timber Frame Buildings

The Number One is Net Zero Housing Factory Cabins

What are the main advantages of timber frame homes? This article will assist you in deciding whether or not to build a timber frame, highly insulated timber frame wooden house. The unrivalled advantage is energy performance, healthier living standards, cost, and build time to name a few.


Timber frame building stands out in the construction world as a spectacular and versatile approach that provides numerous advantages for both residential and commercial projects. We are proud to use this remarkable construction process, which has received recognition for its sustainability, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Timber Frames and Sustainable Building Practises
Timber frame construction is at the forefront of environmentally friendly building practises. Timber frame construction, as opposed to traditional construction methods that rely largely on energy-intensive materials such as steel and concrete, uses wood, a renewable and environmentally benign resource. Here’s how timber frames help with sustainability:

  1. Lower Carbon Footprint
    Timber is a natural carbon store, which means it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it grows. When timber is used in construction, this carbon is stored, lowering a building project’s overall carbon impact. Steel and concrete manufacture, on the other hand, emit considerable volumes of CO2.
  2. Energy Conservation
    Timber frame structures are well-known for their superior insulating properties. The insulation within the timber frame forms a thermal barrier, minimising heat loss in the winter and keeping the interior cool in the summer. Lower energy use for heating and cooling results in lower energy bills and a smaller environmental effect.
  3. Reduced Waste
    When compared to traditional methods, timber frame construction produces less waste. Precise measurements and pre-cut components reduce onsite waste to a minimum. Offcuts and waste wood can be recycled or repurposed, adding to the sustainability of construction practises.

Longevity of Timber Frames
The durability of timber frame buildings is one of their most notable characteristics. Timber may last for decades if properly handled and maintained. Here are some of the reasons why timber frame structures are built to last:

  1. Inherent Resistance
    Timber is naturally resistant to pests and decay, especially when properly preserved. This natural resistance preserves the frame’s strength and structural integrity for many years.
  2. Structural Stability
    Timber frame construction are built to endure a variety of environmental factors, such as earthquakes and large snow loads. The interlocking beams and posts ensure the building’s safety and lifespan by providing remarkable structural stability.
  3. Easy to Maintain
    Timber frame structures require little upkeep over their lifetime. Regular inspections and small repairs are usually sufficient to keep the structure in good shape. This translates to long-term cost reductions.

Timber Frame Construction Cost-Effectiveness
Aside from being environmentally friendly and long-lasting, timber frame building also saves money.

  1. Construction Speed
    Timber frame construction can be built rapidly, lowering labour costs and accelerating project completion. This efficiency is critical when it comes to achieving tight deadlines and budget limits.
  2. Design Versatility
    Timber frames provide for a wide range of architectural ideas. The open floor layouts and large spaces they provide allow architects and designers to create unique and aesthetically beautiful structures.
  3. Long-Term Investments
    Timber frame construction offers significant long-term savings for property owners due to lower energy expenses, minimum maintenance, and a longer lifespan.
  4. To summarise, timber frame construction is a sustainable, long-lasting, and cost-effective approach that excels in many areas of construction. Its eco-friendliness, structural strength, and financial benefits make it an excellent choice for modern construction projects.

Next Video…..Drums beating,,,,,,,,,,,, the first ever side entrance Pods ever to be shipped to anyone ever….. So its history, and its had nearly 500.000 hits on you tube, not bad for one of our little little pods.

Log Cabin Hot Tub Building

Yes its a hot tube cover, also its a changing room, also its a place to get away from everyone and everything.
Its on the Isle Man and it stood through many storms, why, we made it.

Russian Forests

I want to make a statement now, see this amazing forest, well some of it ends up in your house, in many different forms, its the Russian well managed, well kept inner northern forest, and the UK does not have anything vaguely that looks even similar to this, and it never will do, because each and every government , cares only about money and zero about forests. And now you are upsetting the man that could stop your house building, gas, and everything else you need. So before you let the media completely brain wash you, look at this picture, think, this is there because President Putin cares about his forests, and then think, if a man loves nature so much, how can he be so bad?

President Lukashenko of Belarus, now this man has grown his forest into one of the best in the planet, and we are very dependant on him for timber.
Sadly though America want as always to upset the world, which they do daily and hourly.

Always pay with a credit card.

Belarus Forests.

Before you start to believe what people say about people, really get to know the person , and not what your told by CNN or BBC, both of which are liars and fraudsters. Get to know the truth before you make judgement, and a man who cares for his wildlife, is never a bad man!

BEWARE OF THE 12-14-16 week waiting time for your LOG CABIN 2020………………………………………………………………………

A small note to the wise, in 2008 we all remember the awful recession, and in that recession a few tricks were played by certain individuals that I will not mention, who are though still trading, and the trick was this, they knew that bad times were coming, so they did something very underhanded, and as a supplier to some of these companies, we lost 100’s of 1000’s of pounds. And the Public lost a lot more.

You must be very wary of the 12 week waiting time scenario, companies who you think you can trust, tell you the waiting time is 12/14/16 weeks, and you pay a deposit, after that 16 weeks has elapses, they go bust! They go off line, and you will receive sorry letters, but your deposit is gone, and then you have to go back to the bank to see if its possible to get your money back, we do not have a waiting time, we are as always pre Virus 4/5 weeks, the same as it was before, and 4/5 weeks after said Virus.

So if your told to wait, be careful………………….

Please remember , 2007, many resellers went broke, pay by card. deposit and for full payment. Be clever, and be happy! Keep your distance and wear a mask!

Regarding purchasing Cabins, Timber Buildings or any item from Self Employed Dealers. Resellers,  who sell our LV or FC brand, if you went to the Self Employed Dealers, reseller,  first, please do not come to us, if you have a question, concerns please call us, but as they are resellers, we are unable to do anything legally to them regarding their prices , Please remember and do not forget a business needs earn money, we can say what we think they should be sold at, but we cannot by law demand they sell it at what we think. So, it’s always best to look at other websites, and please remember our cabins are high quality, so like for like pricing will be difficult, but there are a few companies out there that are the same nearly as ours and you can gauge if the pricing if fair or not.

I say this all the time, pay with a credit card………. It keeps you safe.

We have no claim or claims to our dealerships working practises, or who and what they do. We are not responsible for deposits they may take, and we are not responsible for broken doors, windows, or bad workmanship, fitted kitchens, bad fitted bathrooms etc, we however would like to be told this in writing so we can take the matter to the company concerned and ask them to help you with your concerns.

When we deliver a cabin to our resellers, they are the owner of that cabin, timber building etc, until they give it to you, you don’t even own it, once its delivered to you, you sign for it, but before you do, inspect it, you can refuse to sign for it if there is damage. The law is on your side, however if you have had a bespoke cabin made for you, and there are missing parts, or a broken door, you cannot return this, the company (reseller) has 28 days, or whatever his T and C’s  say in which to fix your Log Cabin. We have some amazing resellers, and they will bend over to help you have that amazing cabin in your garden.

Here is a note to everyone, only buy a cabin if your job is secure, and you can afford it, as most cabins are bespoke manufactured for you, refunds are almost impossible. So please beware of this.

Please take note, please,please always ask if you can pay with a credit card.

Thank you for reading.

Insulated Timber Frame Garden Room 7.5 m x 4.5 m (29.55 sq meters)

What is an insulated timber frame garden room, because there seems to be a mass confusion on this subject generally throughout this industry.

Size

cabin 3394

Cabin size – 7.5 m x 4.5 m (29.55 sq meters)
Decking – 4.2 m x 0.9 m

Window size – 2x 150 cm x 113 cm
Window size – 1x 75 cm x 113 cm
Window size – 1x 50 cm x 50 cm

Door size – 3x 80 cm x 193 cm (inside)
Door size – 1x 240 cm x 195 cm

Bedroom – 2.8 m x 1.95 m
Bedroom – 2.8 m x 1.95 m
Bathroom – 1.0 m x 1.6 m
Lounge – 2.4 m x 3.0 m

Ridge height – 2.47 m
Wall height – 2.0 m

Now there are many kinds of Insulated Timber Frame Garden Rooms, there are solid log cabins that are insulated internally and if you get a company that really truly knows what they are doing, ( how to put up false walls that move with the cabin shrinking) and are not using quick grown pine as the cabin body as this will shrink and the internal wall will crack and break before long, then your OK, then there are twin skin glulam cabins which are the best choice, as you can either twinskin them and add huge amounts of insulation between the walls also hide the wiring and services, pipes etc, and the shrinking is minimal.

OK.. Insulated means, insulation, but what kind of insulation should you use, and what kind of stud wall, or log would suit your budget the best. And this word budget seems to be the most dirtiest word in the business.

I have asked many customers what’s their budget, and they always say, OK, 99.9% of them say, I do not know, and this makes me smile, because i know that their thoughts are that if they say 20, 30 or even 70.000 we are going to take advantage of that and try and get as much from them as possible, and as I said it makes me smile, it also makes me angry slightly, because not all of us are crooks, and we need to know budget because we have a Massive Selection of different kinds of buildings available that would suit their purpose, but all come at different levels of pricing, we are also very busy people, all of us, customer and manufacturer, and offering this and then that and then this and then that, just takes up time and eventually we find out 90% of the time what they wanted was so far out of their budget the whole exercise has been a waste of time both ends. So it is helpful from first call, to tell us how much you want to spend, and what size of a building you are looking for and we will try our very best to get the into your garden or field, camping site, Holiday park the building or buildings you desire to price.

There are so many choices, but the best in my books is a Timber Frame Garden Insulated Office each and every time, as it takes very little time to erect, and when its finished it looks amazing and it really is insulated, quality and without doubt the best choice.

There are many many companies offering timber frame buildings for the garden, but the ones you must stay clear of are the ones that build it from scratch in your garden, you must only purchase made panels that are weather tight and if it rains will not hurt the interior of the build in any form., you do not want your building to rot from the inside out.. Fungus and rot are harmful to your health and are unseen if covered with plaster board.

Thank you for reading.

Kate Log Cabin – 3.5 m x 5.6 m

Kate Log Cabin – 3.5 m x 5.6 m is without doubt the best 44mm log cabin that gives you so much outside covered space which is airy and a great place to relax in the summer out of the sun, and to keep all your deck chairs , seats, tables, etc, safe and locked up, and on those rainy days read a book or just chill.

And all for such a ridiculously low price, please ask us for details on pricing if you are a dealer. we are not public orientated,.

Sadly unlike most companies that sell directly to the end user and to dealers, we do not, we respect our customers (dealers) and their hard work, dedication, and we believe in local dealer networks, servicing the public.

The reason most companies and if you look about you will notice that only we do not display pricing, this is because we do not want to use our dealers to get the brand name out there, then undercut our hard working dealers and take the business ourselves, this is what we call in the business, the LLE ( Lithuanian, Latvian ,Estonian way!) Not good for business, and shows deceit on every level of business. But if you have no business ethics from the start, and money is your driving force, then what can you expect. which explains why we remain when others die and wither away.

The Kate Log Cabin is offered as all our BL range of quality tight grained Scots Pine cabins with normal quality windows and doors or our heavy duty log cabin windows and doors, that also can come painted or lacquered. Depends really what your customer wants and needs.

Quality Log Cabins at sensible pricing, please ask us for pricing, it will knock you off your feet, and also you will be asking your current supplier why they have been overcharging you for so long. Please ask Ash for our pricing at ash@logcabinslv.co.uk

Thank you very much for reading this.

Bespoke Log Cabins should be manufactured by companies that really have an engineering background!

99.9% of Log Cabin companies do not!

Something to ponder on while thinking about whom to purchase your bespoke log cabin from.

 

There are log cabin companies out there in the big bad world that will offer structural calculations on all their roofs, but lets stop that quickly!!! (No point offering Structural Calculations on a Log Cabin Roof if you do not have structural calculations for the walls, as it’s the walls that holds up the roof) and this kind of dangerous foolish crap goes on day after day!

 

Too many customers are bamboozled with sales people feeding them absolute manure and as this industry is not regulated, so many people are conned out of their hard earned money!

 

There are cabin companies out there that manufacturer as part of their product range timber stick buildings.

The reason we use the word stick and not frame as these are exactly what these buildings are, complete and utter rubbish that last possibly 5 years and then you will start having problems that eventually lead to the demise of the building.

 

If you are looking for a timber frame bespoke garden office then the timber frame with insulation should be about 290mm to 310mm thick “minimum”, there are companies offering a pathetic 117mm walls.

117mm thick timber walls, which in all honestly is completely inadequate, and with just 25mm of insulation, well you have to be a complete and utter fool to purchase one! You need 250mm of insulation, with framing of 45mm x 195mm, out side clad in Siberian larch, not good old shiplap, or some 12mm t&g pine!

 

Bespoke building do not need to cost an arm or a leg, you just need to know the right people to purchase from, and that’s where it gets difficult.

 

We heard a story, about a fitter from one of the largest bulk manufacturers in the country offering his service to a client, it is reported that he built her a timber frame bespoke building, the building had a sliding doors which were double glassed and the side window was single glassed!

 

The horror stories that we hear told to us from customers that are just so fed up with either waiting for their orders and have cancelled, or with customers that have had a cabin delivered and it was just not possible to put it up as they had so many bits missing!

 

Bespoke Log Cabins need to be manufactured by professionals, you also need to be sure that what you order is what you receive, and that you are not paying way too much for it.

Our bespoke cabins now come with not just amazing quality log walls, great flooring and roofing, all quality hardware and metal rods, plus the water proof tape to fix the windows and doors in, you also get quality timber glulam residential windows and doors, sprayed to your choice of colour!

 

In addition, our Log Cabin LV specialist will come to your home and help you measure up and offer professional help where needed.

Glulam 80mm Log Cabins to live In – by logcabinslv.co.uk

More and more people are looking to put a log cabin up in the garden and live in it! So they take to the Internet and trawl the web looking for suitable cabins, but sadly 99% of people have no idea really what they are looking for, and are fooled by what the top ranking log cabin Internet sites tell them. Triple thermal walls, insulated this and best that, which most of the time is just blar, blar, blar.

44mm log cabins are fantastic for a multiple of purposes, but they are not residential, and no matter what you put as insulation, they are not designed to be lived in!

Engineered Glulam log cabins are the future for the garden, as prices come down, more and more people understand that wasting their money on cheap mass produced cabins, is a waste.

When looking for a cabin to live in there is many factors to take into account, more than just insulation.

Big Shout Out To David! Thanks for the Photos……

As I am sure a few of you remembered the 120mm glulam sports pavilion we built last month, here are so amazing internal photos.

As you will notice these are completely an over kill in size, but we believe in always manufacturing our glulam log cabins to be ready for all things mother nature may think to bruise or batter them!

Log Cabins DF Range

 

A big shout out to uk-logcabins for the photos!!

 

Our superb quality, and amazing designs, makes our DF range possibly the best selling log cabin range in the UK. Our log cabins doors and windows in 44mm and above are not just good, they are are fantastic for the price bracket they are in. All are hand made and all are manufactured with care. Unlike 99.9% of companies on the Internet that sell Log Cabins, we are completely different in so far as we do not stock pile them, as stock pilling cabins means they were produced in the slow period, thats over the winter month  and then sold in the summer period, which means your cabin has had 6 cabins placed on top or yours if you are unlucky, also it means the timber has been stressed and this equals all the worst signs for a disastrous cabin.

Logcabins.lv manufacturers all cabins fresh from order, we bespoke log cabins daily, so if you have a desire to have the door moved, or add a window bespoke is our middle name. As you will have noticed we have the largest range in the world of log cabins, sadly most of our log cabins designs have been stolen by most back street mills, ( our clock house log cabins) is one of them, also the Twin Skin log cabin system is another. If you are looking for quality, then there is only really one choice. Do not settle for less. logcabinslv.co.uk
