Family Log Cabin Accommodation.

Sometimes your house is just not big enough, and you need extra space, then you either think, dreaded BS 3632 Caravan, ( the most expensive garbage sadly our country has ever invented) or a Quick Grown Pine Baltic Cabin from some company that sells crap at low prices and calls them residential which are manufactured from fast grown baltic pine, or you think, quality, and sustainability and you think logcabinslv.co.uk. Not so cheap but quality and quality that will last, and prices that will astound you.

Its easy to make a quality log cabin, you just need the right ingredients, and the right machinery, the right lumber and the right management that like us wants to manufacture the best of the best, and keep pricing low, unlike sadly 99.9% of cabin companies in the Baltics/ UK that can charge as much as 5000 to 10.000 more for a cabin than us, pure greed and now rather stupid. Brexit means, European Cabins will cost more and more, and from us, well, less and less.

Quality log cabins and timber buildings ar low low prices. Please contact us if you want to find out more.

Glulam Log Cabins-Glulam Buildings

When purchasing a Glulam log cabin you must be sure that the company you are thinking of purchasing it from are able to offer you superb quality, that their Glulam logs are graded, and that that grade exceeds C32 at all time. Also that they can prove to you that they have sufficient flat bed presses, not vertical to manufacture the Glulam log on.

We are able to manufacture the following from our engineered Glulam timber…

We are also able to offer our engineered glulam twinskin system.

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Residential Log Cabins

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Park homes

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm Glulam Mobile Homes

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Chalets

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Granny Annex

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Garden Offices

80mm-120mm-160mm-200mm  Glulam  Houses

And so very, very, very much more!!

We are able to offer our glulam timber in the following species.

Pine.

Spruce

Northern Siberian Larch

 

There are too many companies on the internet offering Glulam Log Cabins that are quite frankly rubbish, they stick bits of off cut timbers together and then label the building a Glulam cabin, the correct terminology for this timber is (crap) or finger jointed!

Finger Jointed timber is great for 19mm roof boards, or fence panels, etc, but it is not worthy of the title Glulam Engineered timber.

As you can see by the photos attached to this blog, we are able to manufacture 80m spans with our engineered laminated, Glulam, timber?

80 meters is a massive span, and to accomplish this the Glulam timber used is under incredible strain, and as a company to be asked to build a span of this magnitude, is an honor! But it is also an endorsement of the quality of our Engineered Glulam Timber.

We hate blowing our own trumpet, but who would you rather buy your Glulam log cabin from, Us? Or an unknown?

If your looking for a quality Glulam log cabin, please send us an email.

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.

120mm Glulam Log Cabins

Cricket Pavilions, Garden Offices, Granny Annex, Stables, Garages, Studios, Commercial Buildings, Schools, Nurseries and many other types of wooden constructed buildings can be manufactured from 120mm glulam logs.

Our Glulam Log Cabins are not just the best; they are unequal in the industry.

Our windows and doors are way above the industry standard, our insulation levels again above industry standard, and our build, well! Once again, way, way above the industry standard. If you look at the photos below you will see the size of the internal purlins, they are way over industry regulations, they are also graded to C40, this grade is unheard of in the UK where Glulam Log Cabins are concerned.

We can offer all glulam cabins with our new dove tail twinskin system, this allows the internal skin to move independently from the external, which combats cold bridging and movement issues. Sadly there are many companies out there calling themselves logcabins experts, who sadly know zero nero about log cabins! Please call us if you would like advice…

All our glulam cabins are pegged through out, they come with stainless steel rods.

We can pre-drill cable holes inside the logs to keep all electric wires hidden from view, we are able to offer a full turnkey solution.

Logcabins.lv is with out doubt the company to turn to if you are looking for quality, honesty, price and product! We are 100% committed to making the market offer more for less!

logcabinslv.co.uk the number one for quality, design, price.

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.

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!
