An Detailed Guide to Timber Frame Home Insulation
Insulation is a critical component that is frequently overlooked while building your dream wood frame home. Proper insulation not only assures year-round comfort, but it also helps with energy efficiency and cost savings. As experts in the area, we will walk you through all you need to know about choosing the correct insulation for your wood frame home in this article.

Understanding Timber Frame Building
Before getting into insulating choices, it’s critical to first understand timber frame construction. Timber framing is a traditional building technique that uses huge timber beams and posts to create a house’s structural framework. These frameworks are then filled with a variety of materials, including insulation, to give comfort and weather protection.

Considerations When Choosing Insulation

  1. Thermal Performance and R-Value
    When choosing insulation for your wood frame home, the R-value is the most important thing to consider. The R-value of an insulating material evaluates its heat resistance. In layman’s words, it determines how well the insulation resists heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation.

You’ll want insulation with a high R-value when insulating a timber frame home to keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Spray foam insulation and rigid foam boards are two common insulation materials with high R-values.

  1. Water Resistance
    Moisture ingress into timber frame homes can lead to structural damage and mould growth. As a result, choosing moisture-resistant insulating materials is critical. Closed-cell spray foam insulation, which forms a barrier against moisture intrusion, is an ideal solution in this regard.
  2. Environmental Concerns
    There are various sustainable insulating alternatives available for people that prioritise eco-friendly options. Recycled denim insulation and cellulose insulation derived from recycled paper materials are two examples. These materials not only provide great insulation, but they are also less harmful to the environment.
  3. Installation Procedures
    The efficiency of your insulation is dependent on proper installation. Batt insulation, blown-in insulation, and spray foam insulation are all methods of installing insulation. The approach you choose may be determined by your budget as well as the specific needs of your wood frame home.

Spray foam insulation is one of the recommended insulation options.
Spray foam insulation is a popular alternative for timber-framed homes due to its high R-value and resilience to dampness. It forms a smooth and airtight barrier, preventing heat loss and lowering energy bills.

Advantages:

R-value high
Superior moisture resistance
qualities of air sealing
Long life expectancy
Drawbacks:

Higher initial investment

  1. Insulation using Rigid Foam Board
    Rigid foam board insulation provides superior thermal performance as well as moisture resistance. Because it is simple to cut and install, it is a favourite choice among builders.

Advantages:

R-value high
Moisture-resistant
Simple to use and install
Applications that are versatile
Drawbacks:

Additional air sealing may be required.

In conclusion, selecting the appropriate insulation for your wood frame home is critical for assuring comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term structural integrity. Because of their superior thermal performance and moisture resistance, we recommend spray foam insulation or rigid foam board insulation. If environmental sustainability is important to you, look into recycled denim insulation and cellulose insulation. You may enjoy a cosy and eco-friendly timber frame house for years to come if you make an informed decision.

When it comes to insulation, remember that investing in quality materials and appropriate installation is an investment in the future of your home. Make the correct decision today to live in a pleasant and energy-efficient timber frame home.

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.

Timber Frame Highly Insulated Bungalows

Timber Frame Housing

 

Designing new and amazing Cabins, Log Cabins, Pods, and Laminated Cabins is great fun, but today we thought we would share with you our thoughts on the future of the Good Old fashioned Bungalow.

In the UK there are hundreds of thousand Bungalows, Brick and Block, heated by gas, most of which are sadly very poorly insulated, and designed for a bygone year!

So we decided to re-invent the good old-fashioned Bungalow, a Bungalow that would be super efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and would allow the owner to be proud of his-her property. Plus fitted out with all the modern gadgets.

Please feast your eyes on the future of Passive Bungalows!

Heat Source Pumps to get rid of all those nasty gas bills.

Quality Timber Frame structure. Siberian Larch Cladding. Built in Elements.

A Sedum Room.

And a copious amount of Insulation.

And an amazing Logcabins.LV design to boot.

The walls of this amazing little bungalow are nearly 350mm thick, packed with insulation. The roof is a staggering 450mm thick, with a sedum roof to give your property that back to the nature feel.

All in all, this quality structure is the future, and we are happy to participate in offering this kind of natural living space into public domain.

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.

Insulated Garden Offices

garden offices

quality garden offices

Most Garden Offices are seriously quite aesthetically awful internally and out! . And most timber clad garden offices are seriously over priced.

As always, we at logcabinslv.co.uk have decided to meet the challenge head on and design a new innovative garden office that one has the looks and two has the price.

Our new designs encompass everything a modern office should offer,

High insulation, Quality Materials, Triple Glazing, Hard Wood Flooring. and as we said that aesthetically pleasing look.

However!! These are not just meant to be beautifully looking, these also are able to power themselves with their Solar Roofing Tiles-Shingles, please ask us for advice on this!

But we are offering so much more also.

Most garden offices, please just have a look around and you will notice that it’s just cheap framework, poor insulation, clad in low grade cedar and sell for around 15.000 pounds-20.000 Euros.

When we mean cheap framework, we are speaking about the abundance of C16 timber used to make the office structure, and in some cases its not even graded timber.

Sadly because the garden market is not subject to government scrutiny most garden offices are dangerous and poorly made.

We build all our Timber frame Buildings, be it a Garden Offices- or a Class Room to the Euro 5 code.

Why should you pick logcabinslv.co.uk over other manufacturers, well its quite simple, we have more of more and better than the best, and our prices will cause most manufacturers to rethink there business strategy.

OK! Getting back to why you should think about purchasing one of our insulated garden offices, it’s quite simple really, they are built so well, and to such a high standard, they become an investment.

Our highly insulated garden offices are with out doubt an investment due to their high build quality, and the ability to take them down and if need be move them to your next house, or sell them. And due to the high specification, we know that you will always get back, if not more than what you’re originally purchased it for.

Please send us an email, or give us a call.
