Log Cabins 2017

Over the many years logcabinslv.co.uk have been designing log cabins and timber buildings for many years,

 

In those many years, we have seen a positive shift in the industry.

 

In 2001, we would say that most timber interlocking buildings-log cabins were bulk manufactured to sell, not last.

 

Quality levels were low, but then so was the pricing.

 

In 201 log cabins were almost 50% cheaper, yet the timber price, oil and standard of living is the same then as now!

 

Also in those days, it was OK to sell a 28mm log cabin, which was say 4m x 5m.

 

Now 28mm logs are used for a lot smaller cabins, and only a few companies still offer this shamefully thin log.

 

Manufacturing -Offering 28mm log cabins comes with responsibilities, yet few who offer these care if the buildings are fit for purpose.

Profit is the key factor.

 

If you are looking for a quality log cabin, and you want to be sure that will will last the test of time, please send us an email.

Why buying a bulk log cabin is rather stupid!

These are the blogs log cabin bulk resellers, hate!

quality timber buildings

residential log cabins and timber frame buildings

Are you looking for a log cabin, or timber frame building that does not come from an online super store, that is designed and manufactured, then assembled by professionals?

If the answer is yes, then Log Cabins LV and its partners are the answer to all your prayers.

There are way too many companies out there selling what we call in the industry bulk rubbish, its easy to spot, they all sell the same ranges, they all have near enough the same pricing, and the cabins, buildings look like clones, and this is because they are manufactured in high numbers, each cabin that rolls of the production line is not seen as a true master piece of work, its seen as another 1% in the profit margin for that day!

At Log Cabins LV our designs, are unique to us, and yes we have more designs, than all of them cabin design houses put together x 3, its true quite a lot of the other manufacturers have copied our best sellers, as its easier to copy ours than actually sit down and for them to think for themselves.

We are not a superstore, we manufacture each and every building to order taking great pains to make sure it as perfect as possible, and as we never get the same cabins ordered weekly, never mind hourly, which is due to the fact that our ability lies in bespoke manufacturing we do not have stock.

This also means that you cabin was not under 8 other cabins, the problems with bulk manufactured cabins is this.

They are packed on an assembly line, so if one bit is missing in one cabin, then you can bet your last pound (euro) that it is missing in all of that high-speed production cycle.

And normally they will make 50 cabins per timber thickness and log cabin size.

Most manufactures do not like to do bespoke (anything), they say they will do a bespoke design if you asked and they like to advertise this as it’s good for their SEO (Search Engine Optimization), but when you actually look at the prices they will offer you for a bespoke, and the pressure you get from the sales staff you will see they would rather you purchase a stock cabin, and make it fit than to actually bespoke a cabin for you.

Over the years, we have seen so many companies push bulk-manufactured Log Cabins into the market place, hoping that the public will only look at price and not quality level.

I am thankful that 2008 saw a lot of the working class start to really look at what they were buying and now this section of the public are actually more read up and now spend wisely, and the bulk manufacturing sector of log cabins are now feeling the pinch!

Log Cabins LV has been in this industry longer than anyone, we have seen the superstores of bulk manufactured log cabins come, and now vanish, the public want quality for their hard earned money, and if you really want an exceptional quality log cabin then we have the best dealer network now in the UK-Europe.

Remember…..

If a company jumps up and down and says 2 week delivery, then it is a log cabins from stock, or they are so bad no one wants what they are selling.. Whichever the case, beware!

Its better to have a freshly made cabin, that smells of the forest, than one that smells of mould because it’s been stacked with hundreds of others in a damp dark shed in the middle of a field!

Regarding purchasing Cabins, Timber Buildings or any item from Self Employed Dealers. Resellers,  who sell our LV or FC brand, if you went to the Self Employed Dealers, reseller,  first, please do not come to us, if you have a question, concerns please call us, but as they are resellers, we are unable to do anything legally to them regarding their prices , Please remember and do not forget a business needs earn money, we can say what we think they should be sold at, but we cannot by law demand they sell it at what we think. So, it’s always best to look at other websites, and please remember our cabins are high quality, so like for like pricing will be difficult, but there are a few companies out there that are the same nearly as ours and you can gauge if the pricing if fair or not.

I say this all the time, pay with a credit card………. It keeps you safe.

We have no claim or claims to our dealerships working practises, or who and what they do. We are not responsible for deposits they may take, and we are not responsible for broken doors, windows, or bad workmanship, fitted kitchens, bad fitted bathrooms etc, we however would like to be told this in writing so we can take the matter to the company concerned and ask them to help you with your concerns.

When we deliver a cabin to our resellers, they are the owner of that cabin, timber building etc, until they give it to you, you don’t even own it, once its delivered to you, you sign for it, but before you do, inspect it, you can refuse to sign for it if there is damage. The law is on your side, however if you have had a bespoke cabin made for you, and there are missing parts, or a broken door, you cannot return this, the company (reseller) has 28 days, or whatever his T and C’s  say in which to fix your Log Cabin. We have some amazing resellers, and they will bend over to help you have that amazing cabin in your garden.

Here is a note to everyone, only buy a cabin if your job is secure, and you can afford it, as most cabins are bespoke manufactured for you, refunds are almost impossible. So please beware of this.

Please take note, please,please always ask if you can pay with a credit card.

Thank you for reading.

Interior design is such an integral part of any new residential timber frame cabin also log cabins.

In addition, functionality always comes before aesthetics, however the two must obviously merge into one!

 

We have designed our New Show Home to be externally amazing, with extremely tight grained Siberian larch, vertically mounted, fitted handmade CE- Trada Certified triple glazed Glulam Windows and Doors, and not forgetting every gadget to truly make our Passive show house a building of the future.

 

Log Cabins LV and Iformbuildings.co.uk have the only Residential Timber Frame Passive Park Home Show Home in existence in the UK.

 

There were many reasons why we decided to invest heavily into a show home and one that was so incredibly insulated and thermal efficient.

 

I think the main reason was to show the public that you really can purchase an amazing timber frame highly insulated building that really doesn’t cost more than £ 200 a year to heat, and that your investment is quite safe.

In fact and this is quite out standing or even unusual our New Passive Timber Frame Park Home will increase in value, gone are the days when your Park Home.

 

Our Passive Timber Frame Park Home which is built to follow the criteria of BS3632, only in height and size will wipe the floor or all and any park homes built in the UK!!!

New Deluxe Standard DF Log Cabins Range for 2016

New Deluxe Standard DF Log Cabins Range for 2016

New Deluxe Standard DF Log Cabins Range for 2016

Yesterday we were very pleased to meet up with our two partners from the UK, who combined have over 30 show sites in the north and south of the UK.

 

The show around day consisted of product knowledge and a show around our new spray booths, windows and door lines, and fabrication.

 

The visit was to highlight our new and improved Deluxe DF Standard Range, and to show our dealers, and their sales guy’s the quality of the new residential windows and doors which adorn this amazing range now. We would like to thank them all for coming over, and also for their support in offering to the public the best standard range of cabins ever to come to the market!

 

Some people find it hard to understand the term, Deluxe Standard, as they seem to work against one another, but actually, it makes perfect sense.

 

Unlike all other manufacturers, we offer these Deluxe Cabins with all their goodies attached at one standard price, there is no up sale here. We offer 20mm Roof boards. 28mm flooring, we offer Residential Double glazed Tilt and Turn CE-Trada Approved windows and doors. That is a whole mouth full of extras, and yet the pricing is hundreds, if not thousands of pounds lower than anyone else on the market.

 

We even spray paint the windows to your choice of colour!

 

There are companies out there that are just so greedy, that our pricing is almost 1/3 less, which just goes to show, how greedy the Germans and Dutch tend to be!

 

I must laugh actually as we are Log Cabins LV, yet we are run and owned by a British Family, who have set the standards of the production from day one, which is why the ethos of the company is quality, design, price.

Greed was left out from the beginning. (Brits play fair)..

 

If you are a dealer looking for a new supplier, we are always ready to listen, however we vet all new comers, we want timber trained sales people to join us, preferably family businesses, also shed manufacturers that have been manufacturing for more than 10 years. We want only the best. And we do not take on people who have a history of bankruptcy.

 

OK on to another subject..

 

Yesterday we received a offer from another manufacturer on a Spam email client Mail chimps, what surprised us was 2 things, firstly, if they can not spell, or be bothered to use spell check. So? How can you trust this company to count how many parts fit in a packed building?

Secondly, they are offering camping pods, that do not have any form of CE certified doors or windows, or even trickle vents, which as we all know can lead to deaths sadly.

 

To those manufacturers that want to offer accommodation to the public, beware! In the UK you can be tried for manslaughter if a building you claim is fit for human dwelling turns out not to be and a death occurs!

Moreover, these entire log manufactured shaped pods, made of interlocking T&G timber are not fit for camping sites, or overnight dwellings. They are extremely dangerous and way over priced.

 

That’s my rant finished. I just get so angry when I see these companies fooling the public and offering absolute s–t, for a sovereign! Makes my blood boil! Log Cabins and camping pods are heavy structures and must be manufactured with care and precision.

Log Cabins LV Deluxe Range 2016

log cabins uk deluxe range 2016

quality log cabins, deluxe log cabins, log cabins, logcabin

Over the last 14 years log cabins have changed the way our gardens look, but are the log cabins offered good quality, how do you tell a great quality log cabin from a cheap and nasty massed produced one?

 

Simple if its not manufactured by us, its mass-produced.

 

In Jan 2016 Log Cabins LV will be offering our new Range of Deluxe Log Cabins.

Yes, I keep on harping on about the best quality windows and doors, and that we professionally spray them to any colour you wish!

 

Or that the manufacturing of these new deluxe log cabins are with out doubt top notch!

In addition, it has nothing to do with our timber quality; it’s the best of the best!

And that all the hardware is better than anything on a standard range of log cabins anywhere on the web!

What really makes these cabins amazing is the pricing!

 

There are German companies in the UK that sell very high quality log cabins, almost as good as ours but their pricing is ridiculously high.

 

If you want to purchase a log cabin that really does have the best windows and doors, engineered by skilled craftsman, and timber that really is a notch above the rest, then our Deluxe Range is worth waiting for.
