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!

Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins

We first introduced Engineered twin Skin Glulam Log Cabins to the English Garden market about 8 years ago.

We also introduced them into the Residential Market showing their massive potential and how to save money and increase U values plus offering durability and quality.

There are many companies that truly want you to spend 1000’s more on internally cladding a single solid skin cabin log cabin, just for the sake of cladding their pockets with money on the prefix of giving you a better insulation package.

Most of the time this leads to awful condensation and headaches.

Glulam log cabins which are manufactured by us are not just amazing they are truly an engineering marvel.

Unlike other twin skins solid log cabins in the market, Logcabins.lv have allowed for internal, external movement, and with our new glulam twin skin technology system easily passing building regulations, and getting required U values, we believe that Logcabins.lv will as always push the industry to change their method of build, and invest in better machinery.

The only insulated building available in the garden 8 years ago was either a shed with thin panelised walls, very expensive timber frame conservatories, and of course the dreaded expensive brick and block construction.

Our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Cabins have over the years changed the way people think about log cabins in general, and their usage.

The Twin Skin Log cabin Design stems from Mother Russia.  Mother Nature in the most northern parts of Russia can reach minus 50 / 60 in the winter, and as lumber is the most freely available building material, cabins with very thick double walls emerged offering amazing U vales, as the internal part of the wall was filled with wood shavings/ sheep’s wool etc.

Our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins are the best in the UK by far, as our expertise has come from 40 years of experience.

The whole purpose of bringing this building technique to the market place was a passion to offer the best and keep this amazing deign concept alive, but to bring it to modern day standards..

Beware of any company selling Twin Skin log cabins that are not on our dealers list.

The dangers of buying a glulam twin skin log cabin that is not manufactured  on a CNC computerized machine could in the long run be a very expensive mistake. Each and every notch must be inline, and stay true to each and every other notch, a manual machine cannot guarantee this, our investment of 10.5 Million Euros  was needed to make our Engineered Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabins the best in the UK-Europe offering grading of C32 to C40.

If you are uncertain about anything regarding a Engineered  Glulam Twin Skin Log Cabin please feel free to send us an email enquiries@logcabinslv.co.uk and let us help you.

Quality Glulam Log Cabins

When purchasing any log cabin, be it Solid Log, Laminated, or Scandinavian, always check the dimensions of the weight bearing timbers. (Important)

As you can see here, we use, 120mm x 600mm rafters to hold up our roof, this is a serious over kill, but when you are paying less, and getting more, we know come wind or snow, your roof is going to stand the test of time.

Laminated Log Cabins, Good and Bad!

While trawling through different videos on supposedly quality laminated cabins,a few things caught my eye and I just want to share these with you. Firstly, if a company is selling a laminated building, you would think that while they are laminating the logs, they would remove all offending unsightly timber, knots, wane, splits etc from the logs. We as a manufacture only use as a base start C24 which is the highest grade in visual grading for KD FSC Timber, we then cut out nearly all the knots to make C32 or C40, which is a grade most companies in the UK-Europe have never heard of, never mind manufacture with. So while I was looking intensely at other companies videos I noticed something that shocked me, ( pic below) the timber has a huge long dead knot? so how is this laminated? How is it graded? And this is why there needs to be a government grading for laminated logs, as sadly glulam laminated timber is sometimes just bits of old rubbish glued together.

awful logs

terrible laminated logs

Next, looking through the same video, i noticed that one of the main supporting  beams, was as you can see from the photo coming away from the next in line above, these should be connected together with bolts. This means the roof will eventually bow. It also means that this cabin was not subjected to structural calculations, and quite possibly built using the BS 3632 code, which we have said time and time again is a joke! When buying any kind of residential building, be it Log, Laminated, or timber frame, we would always suggest putting said building through structural calcs.

Siberian Larch….logcabinslv.co.uk

Hi All! Today I was walking through one of our mills and I spotted some amazing Siberian Larch Glulam sections.

As we all know Larch from Siberia, is always amazing, but the larch I saw today was 100% in quality. Quality Larch I think personally is the best material to manufacture log cabins from, sadly the cabin would cost more than the ground it sat on, but if you are looking for a bridge, or any other glulam timber structural element and it must be engineered, please do not hesitate and send us an email.

Quality Glulam Log Cabins And Bits of timber stuck together!

What really is Quality Glulam Timber!

Today one of our sales team was asked by quite a clever chap, what is the difference between quality glulam timber and run of the mill gluelam timber, as GLULAM timber is GLULAM timber, and laminated Glulam timber is basically all the same? So I thought I would write a small piece on the difference between engineered laminated glulam logs, and none engineered glulam logs.(or fondly known in the industry as the bits and bob log).

I am not allowed to copy and paste other manufacturers photos into this blog, however, if you browse the web and look, you will see bits and bob glulam logs everywhere, what to watch out for is the amount of knots in each log, and the colour of them, they are usually very dark! But what is the most important thing to do is ask for certification on the log and demand to know the grade! Also what glues were used. Some glues are incredibly toxic!

Glulam log cabins  048

OK..When the timber first comes to our mills, it is already visually graded, the grade on the timber is KD (Kiln Dried) C24. This in the industry is the bench mark for top quality timber, mainly used for timber frame and the like. We then go through the C24 and cut even more knots, splits, wane etc, and take the grade up to C32 or a staggering C40, depending on the project. But! every Glulam Log is  C32 or above when leaving our production line. Which means your glulam cabin is built not from the best, but from ENGINEERED GLULAM…..

glulam cabins

gluelam timber- glulam log cabins-glulam cabins

Now…. lower grade bits and bob ( glulam) log cabins will normally be made from smaller lengths of timber or off cuts, the timber will not be graded, the machinery used is normally antique and the quality of the logs is not great. I do understand why the other manufacturers use these bits of timber, its either burn them, or finger joint them.Finger jointed timber is great for roof board of say 19mm, or floor boards of say 28mm, but for structural usage, NO!

Sadly most manufacturers will not tell you what grade is their glulam which they are using, they will just use the word glulam and hope for the best. If in doubt, ask, and ask to see all the certification, also photos of their plant! Remember Glulam cabins cost more because of their engineered pedigree, do not spend hard earned money on a Bits and Bob Log Cabin.

 

Glulam log cabins  120

When speaking to which ever company about a glulam log cabin , be it in 80mm, 120mm, 160mm, 200mm, 240mm, and a log length of say 10 meters, you must ask the company concerned to prove what grade glulam log they are offering, ask them to prove it with certification, also ask to see photos up close of what they have built before, and ask for photos of the logs and count how many pieces of timber is used in say a 10m length, and more that 3, then its a bits and Bob LOG! There are many companies offering bits and bob glulam cabins.

Our Glulam cabins are not just engineered, they are quality above all else. We pride ourselves on offering the best glulam cabins in the UK, if you are looking for the best, please fill out the form and we will have one of glulam expert give you a call!
