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.

Timber Building 2016

Timber bUILDINGS NEW RANGE log Cabins LV

Timber Buildings- timber frames- sectional buildings-Dedicated to danny!!

You have looked at a Log Cabin and you just do not want that kind of look in your garden! You have been to your local shed manufacture and his products look cheap and nasty and are over priced.

So what do you do? You want a home office but the companies selling highly insulated timber frame units want from £15.000 to 25.000 and this is just so out of your price range! So what’s the answer? How do you get quality and not have to pay the earth for it! Simple, by purchasing a new Timber Frame Garden Building from our new range coming soon.

Our New Range of timber frame buildings will be highly insulated, we will be offering CE certified windows and doors, Trada compliant, and once again these amazing windows and doors will be offered to you any colour you choose. As a timber frame specialist, we understand about build quality, design and of course we understand about cost.

Log Cabins LV has over the years brought to market many, many different kinds of Timber Buildings, however we found that our framework which we use for domestic dwellings, houses etc was way too heavy and cumbersome to use for a garden buildings.

So we have gone back to the drawing board and come up with some new amazing designs that will be offered at low pricing, but still have quality stamped into the very heart of our new range. Please look out for our New Timber Frame Buildings for 2016!

Glulam Cabins

When you purchase a Glulam cabin what should you be looking for?

Firstly you must make sure that the company selling you their glulam logs are firstly manufactured under all the EU regulations, too many glulam log cabins are coming from outside the EU and are not certified, this means in reality you could be purchasing complete and utter rubbish!

Our Glulam/Laminated Timber is certified by  Otto Graf Institute for strength classes which start from A, GL24(BS11),GL28(BS14) and GL32(BS16) in accordance with DIN and EN norms we also received in 2012 ISO9001 and ISO14001 certificates.

Because of this our Glulam production is exported from our factory to all over the world, including, Sweden and Finland!

We can also offer

Preparation of advance proposals,

Preparation of projects,

Supply and construction of steel components,

Wood impregnation,

Fire retardant

Transportation,

Installation,

Consulting

We are able to offer lengths up to 36m, yep! 36m in one long length! In addition, our maximum span is an unbelievable 80m.

We are also able to offer a curved beam of 40m.

All this is just facts and numbers, but these facts, and numbers mean, you are not just purchasing a quality glulam log cabin; you are purchasing an engineered Glulam log cabin, that is simply better than the rest by leaps and bounds.

What we have found when we surf the web and we are look to see if there is anything better for sale than us, we realise that we are not just the best, and that our standard engineered glulam log is so way past the post to anything else on offer, we realise that most of what is sold on the internet, is actually Finger Jointed small bits of  ungraded timber, and they sadly they use the word Glulam to tempt you in!

Interlocking log cabins be them glulam, Solid or Handmade were first sold into the UK about 15 years ago, we should remember, as it was us that offered them into the market first! Then we offered them out to shed companies, and timber companies to offer to their customers, and we are proud to announce we still have our very first dealer purchasing from us!!

When looking for a quality glulam log cabin, the KNOTS, are the give away, if the timber has a lot of knots steer clear, in fact RUN! Knots are a great give away for lack of quality, grade and engineering ability! Next, ask them to show you photos of their press, this is a vital part of the whole operation, there isn’t really a bad pressing station, depends what kind of grade and length you are looking for. A lot of old mills, and some new mills, purchase standing hydraulic glulam presses, and for window frames, door frames, chairs, tables etc, Vertical presses do the job! In fact they don’t need anything better.

However, when you manufacture houses, structural beams, elements, sport stadiums, swimming pools, equestrian centres, large supermarkets, public bridges, for cars, and public,  then a standing press is sadly wilfully inadequate.

Because of this, we have invested 10.5 million Euros into one of the most sophisticated flat bed engineered glulam pressing stations in the world!

However that does not mean we must recoup our investment by pricing heavily our product, it’s actually the opposite, our glulam structures, be them Log Cabins, or Post and Beams, are the best priced in the market, as we have very little waste, due to the whole line being computerised, and that we only use C24 graded timber before we start!

Also please ask yourself this question, would you rather purchase a £50,000 Glulam cabin from some small independent builder, who obviously is purchasing it from another trader, and pay his finders fee of 20%, or purchase it from the manufacturer save your self, his fee, their fee and still get a better deal??

The European Union is a great place to find, quality and price, and still be safe when it comes to purchasing direct. The fear of having your money stolen by a foreign company is fallacy, as we have lost more money to UK companies going bust and then re opening under the same name 2 months later than any country in the world. And we sell into most!

You have more rights in the Baltic’s legally, than in the UK!

It is impossible here for a company to go bust tomorrow and the CEO open another the next day! We take bankruptcy here very seriously. It is a pity the moral high ground is not in the UK any more!

And this BLOG is being written by a 51 year old Brit!

Pride, honor and reputation are the qualities I have only found here in the Baltic’s over the last 34 years! Dishonesty and theft, with in the Cabin fraternity is none existent.

I can honestly say, doing business into the UK with our products is a mine field, we are very lucky to have great partners now, we have over the last few years got rid of a few bad apples, that’s why it is imperative to send us an email and check who is who!

If you are seriously looking for a Engineered Glulam log cabin, have a budget, would like high spec triple glazing, quality engineered logs etc, then please give us a call, or send us an email.
