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.

Flat Pack Homes for the Homeless And Refugees,

We began writing about log cabins , timber buildings and other timber products that we sold direct to the customer OVER 20 YEARS AGO. Originally, we were Log Cabins LV, but we later changed our company name to Factory Cabins because, regrettably, Google decided that a Latvian domain and website should, and could not be ranked in the UK. At first, there was no issue, but later, we ran into trouble when the European Government approached Google and demanded, millions of dollars in taxes. As a result, Google began to only display each company’s listings in their designated regions, so LV , Latvia, .co.uk Uk and so on. So we went for a new site with a .com, co.uk and started anew.

We have produced articles about the various varieties of log cabins, timber buildings, Glulam buildings, on their construction, and the most recent developments in log cabin design. As well as discussing the many materials that might be utilized, we have written about the advantages of building with log cabins glulam , timber frame. We have also discussed the best techniques to insulate and preserve your log cabin. Our blog has even included reviews of log cabin companies. We have spoken our customers. Also, we have written about the significance of creating log cabins with sustainable materials and green building practices.

We make a constant effort to give our readers the best knowledge and suggestions on building and maintaining log cabins. We hope that our blog and tools will be a valuable and informative resource for anyone planning to build a log cabin.

At Factory Cabins we specialize in offering affordable and durable solutions for those looking for short-term or long-term housing. Our products provide a cost-effective and reliable approach to provide shelter. We offer glulam, modular timber frame, and steel cabins that are customizable to meet the needs of any budget. With our cabins, you can create a comfortable and secure home without relying on the government for assistance. We provide quality materials and experienced craftsmanship to ensure you get the best product for your money. Whether you are looking for a temporary home or a permanent residence, we have the perfect solution for you.

OK…. Let’s talk today about steel flat packed frame modular insulated buildings.

We are first going to talk about Flat Pack Steel frame Insulated Buildings, that will stack 4 high safely.

  1. Insulated steel frame panels provide superior thermal performance, reducing energy costs and helping to keep out the cold.
    1. The panels have double glazing, which improves both soundproofing and thermal insulating properties.
    2. The steel frame provides improved strength and longevity, making it less susceptible to harm from the environment.
    3. Steel frames are additionally fire-resistant, adding to the security and assurance.
    4. Steel frames also offer a long-term return on investment and are cost-effective.
    5. The panels have electrics installed, making it simple to install lighting, heating, and other electrical components.
    6. Steel frame structures can also be easily expanded upon and customized in order to meet changing needs.
    7. The panels are lightweight, which makes them simple to install and carry.

2.4M X 6M Single

These portable homes are ideal for a variety of uses. Not only can they save you money on trucking, but they can also provide quick, efficient, and affordable housing solutions for a variety of needs. For example, they could be used in refugee camps, scouts villages, nurses villages, and other areas where a large number of people need to be quickly housed. Additionally, their flat-pack design means that they can be easily assembled and disassembled, making them even more cost-effective.

Purchasing an old sea container everyone thinks is a great Idea, its not, as they are not designed for purpose, we designed living accommodation, to house people, not bananas, also our units are not sea containers before someone thinks they are, they are not, they are units designed to go ontop of each other, they can be any shape of size, some can be flat packed others can not.

4.8m x 6m DOUBLE

So what do they look like inside, well that depends solely on you. We can offer them premanufactured that have beautiful birch ply, my favourite, or keep the original white insulated panel, depends on what you want, need.
Many organisations like the Army, Nato, Migration centres, want them easy to move, easy to assemble, and easy to disassemble, and if you’re looking for quality units, then these are them.


We believe this is an effective way to help the homeless population because it is not only cost effective, but also highly efficient in terms of the time it takes to assemble and disassemble the units. It is also durable and provides shelter and protection from the elements. The flatpack bed units can be easily transported, making them ideal for temporary shelters in areas that may need to be relocated. Additionally, by providing these beds, homeless people can access basic comforts and a sense of safety, which can help to improve their mental health and wellbeing. The units are also designed to be low-maintenance, meaning they don’t require a lot of upkeep or financial investment.

We are able to make a village that is pretty much indestructible, panels and walls, windows and doors removed and fixed very quickly , can be moved where ever, delivered and assembled incredibly fast, and we can supply large scale canteens, and washing facilities in bulk, we support local governments, councils, in their need for affordable centres like these.

So what is the turnaround time, from order, so firstly we put together a plan of what you need , if the units will have toilets, showers, or we manufacture these separately in large scale blocks, Woman / Men, also Kitchens and Canteens, then we agree on the amount, you pay deposit, you will only have to wait 8 weeks for them to start rolling in as the first leave the other 50% will need to be paid, if you would like us to assemble the whole camp-centre, then we will add this into the full pricing.

We offer Finance, and of course we look at every project and calculated pricing from there. The more you purchase in the order, the less they cost.
As you can see we are a large manufacture of these and 1000 units does not phase us!

Log Cabins Window and Doors

How many companies on the net actually show their windows and doors in their full glory, I can answer that, NONE! Why? Because most of the companies on the web offering cabins have low quality windows and doors!

Over the years we have put more attention on our window and door production line, than trying to pump more of the same out the door as 99.9% of companies seem to do!

I know this is a scathing attack on the competition, but we actually don’t have competition where our cabins are concerned, we are not a cash and carry manufacturer, we do not manufacture hundreds of the same cabin style  in the winter and push them out the door in the summer, all of our cabins are bespoke to order.
