Net Zero Timber Frame Buildings,

Factory Cabins uses only C24 in all our timber frame buildings, and here are a few reasons why:

What Is the Difference Between C16 and C24 Wood?
Choosing the proper type of timber is crucial to the success and longevity of your construction or timber building project. C16 and C24, two widely used timber grades, are frequently the source of concern and discussion. We shed light on the distinctions between C16 and C24 timber in this detailed reference, allowing you to make informed decisions while retaining the structural integrity of your construction.
Because we only utilise C24, we bring this up in today’s C16-C24 blog.

Examining C16 Timber in more Depth C16 softwood is a common softwood grade noted for its versatility and low cost. This grade is commonly utilised in a variety of building projects, such as roof trusses, floor joists, and stud walls. C16 wood has the following characteristics:

Durability and toughness
C16 wood has an average durability and life expectancy. Because it is acceptable for circumstances with less rigorous strength requirements, it is a common choice for light commercial and residential buildings.

Grading
C16’s letter ‘C’ stands for ‘Construction,’ indicating that it satisfies structural standards. The look, density, and structural qualities of timber are rated, with C16 being the lowest grade.

Common Applications
Internal framing and non-load-bearing buildings are common applications for C16 timber that do not require remarkable strength. It is an appealing alternative for a wide range of activities due to its versatility and low cost.

A Closer Look at C24 Wood
C24 timber provides a major advancement in terms of strength and durability. It is of the highest quality and is frequently used in high-end construction projects. Here’s all you need to know about C24 wood:

Extraordinary Results C24 timber is noted for its exceptional toughness and durability, making it ideal for structurally demanding applications. It is sturdy enough to withstand heavy weights while resisting bending and warping.

Grading
The letter ‘C’ in C24 also signifies structural certification. The ’24’ indicates a higher categorization than C16, implying exceptional capabilities.

Common Applications For high-load applications such as industrial buildings, bridges, and other vital structural sections, C24 timber is the material of choice. It is appropriate for applications requiring safety and longevity because to its high strength.

Choosing the Best Wood
It’s critical to evaluate your project’s individual requirements while picking between C16 and C24 lumber. Here are a few things to consider:

Capacity for Bearing Load
Because of its improved strength, C24 timber is the recommended choice for applications requiring large loads or crucial structural components.

Considerations for Cost
Because C16 lumber is less expensive, it is an appealing option for applications requiring less strength.

The Project Description
Take into account the nature of your project. C16 is typically utilised in residential and light commercial building, whereas C24 is employed in industrial or heavy-duty construction.

To summarise, understanding the distinction between C16 and C24 wood is critical for making informed building and woodworking decisions. While C16 is versatile and cost-effective, C24 stands out for its superior strength and durability. You may assure the structural integrity and endurance of your building initiatives by picking the appropriate grade according to the needs of your project.

Hard Customers.

You know you get these days when you just want to shout and say, your design is crap, its going to fall down, and you have too many windows and its too thin, and you want it for nothing, and you want the best and you moan at the price and all the time, we, me, are thinking actually it was a we, as three of us all thought, fuck this design is dangerous and shit. But what can you say, you try and help, but all you get is the customer really not listening, and not believing because he has spent hours listening to wankers on the phone who know nothing about cabins, and boring the poor customer to suicide, and then when he actually lands on our pages and says why are you slightly more than the worst fucking company in Lithuania, I just sit back in shock and am mortified.

Log Cabins are not easy to design, and in this day and age, they are really hard things to manufacture as most of the components are hard to find, thats the quality parts, we only use quality, the cheap crap, is everywhere, most bulk mills will have containers and containers of rubbish handles and doors, and why are we not as cheap as these other mills, simple….

Harrods———–Tescos.

You want your Cabin to come with quality attached at every level and pay for it, you would go to Harrods.
If you were looking for a cheap, off the self, OK cabin, where would you go, Tescos.

And thats the difference from us to them.

Simple look at this.

Take a look at the first 2 photos, you might think, they look ok, looks good quality, and the price OK… Well you are deluded or on a £4 budget, as these are the worst hinges and worst doors for a good quality log cabin which were ever manufactured. Awful….
Nothing even looks remotely hard wearing or robust……….

Now check these out, these are our standard doors and windows, and this is just the beginning on why we are picked time and time again , because our quality is second to none, there are companies out their now copying our look, but a copy handbag is a copy handbag!

All hardware German.
All windows and doors Aluminium rain drip trays x 2 on windows.
Windows fitted with a 5 point locking tilt and turn system.
Doors also come with 5 point locking system.

Before we tell you, you tell us what size purlins the compnay your thinking of buying from offer in their price, these hold the roof up. Important.

Lastly yes, we are lucky to say we pick our customers, we get about 30 requests a week, we pick just 10 from these. I might say yes and then have a customer start demanding, this equals returned deposit immediately. If you want the best then you play by our rules, which are exceptionally fair, if you don’t then go and buy the crap out there which is for sale! I do not care, my customers are important to me, if your not one of mine, then i am not loosing any sleep over if your cabin is safe, if everything is quality. if it gets to you on time, all bit and bobs with it, and making sure delivery is a pleasant exsperiance for you. And at no time allowing anyone to be rude to you. A zero free Drama way of getting a cabin, no middle men.And as more and more customers are coming direct, paying with a credit card and understanding its the best way to get the best of the best, and luckily i am speaking to people I like.

We are a British Company, we also have a British Merchant account, which you pay directly into with your visa or debit card. You are not paying into a foreign bank, which I would strictly suggest against doing, I won’t even do that. So with Factory Cabins you are getting it direct from us here in Lithuania, but the best part its paid into a UK bank.

Please remember it was us 21 years ago that put the first 40mm 5m x 5m super star log cabin onto the market, then we designed the clock house, then the twin skins and 28mm flooring and the mad thing we did was design over 7000 cabins. which means we have more designs made already than other company. It means we know our stuff.

Please look at our windows and doors and the other companies, and you will see ours are designed to last and the other companies are designed for bonfire night.
It really depends on how proud you are on what you manufacture.

Before you buy a cabin, please come to us and compare, get all there details and then get ours and we will beat them hands down for quality each and every time.

And Lastly if your buying rubbish, cheap mass produced crap like a £299 pound shed….. just think if the tree that had to be cut for that shed to be made , sawn up was worth all that effort.

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.

Over the years I have spoken relentlessly about quality timber frame buildings, and how it is so very, very important to have grading of the highest caliber on timber which is destined for the manufacturing of Park Homes, Timber Frame Residential Buildings and the like, also that these kind of structures must be strong on there own merit and not part of a whole. Here you can see panels, floating in the air, which shows our true belief in our panel construction and the quality of build.
