Factory Log Cabins

Factory Cabins: Britain’s Last Bastion of Uncompromising Timber Craftsmanship


Amidst a market flooded with cheap sheds masquerading as “premium” log cabins, there is one UK producer that has long been a bastion of integrity: [FactoryCabins.com] (https://factorycabins.com/). This family firm has withstood industry pressure for over 20 years, closing its eyes to profit when it conflicts with physics, safety, and durability across generations. These are some of the reasons why architects, holiday park managers, and coconscious homeowners regard them as the only real craftsmen in British timber buildings.


 The Unshakeable Ethics: When “No” Defines Excellence
As opposed to competitors who silently follow cost reduction directives, Factory Cabins is most well-known for halting projects that jeopardise safety.
 Structural Vetoes: Orders that were declined requesting 19 mm floors (compared to their 28mm standard) even though it saved £2k—”Would you let a garage install budget brakes?” (Price depending on the size of the building.)
 Material Sovereignty: Requires Scandinavian Swedish KD Northern Spruce (FSC certified) for its Arctic density and natural rot resistance—rejecting cheaper “whitewood” for warping in seasons.
 Glazing Integrity: Toughened double-glazing is standard in all windows/doors—no £420 “security upgrades” for basic safety.

We’re not martyrs—we’re mechanics. Safety isn’t an add-on; it’s the blueprint.”



Engineering Beyond Trends: The Twinskin Revolution
Factory Cabins pioneered Britain’s first commercial Twinskin system 20 years ago—a design now relentlessly copied but never equalled. Their secret? Customisable physics:
 Feature  Industry Standard  Factory Cabins Standard  Why It Matters

 Wall Construction Single skin 44 mm, twin skin 44 mm + 44 mm or 70 mm + 70 mm, 90 mm + cavity for 200mm insulation
 Value of Insulation: U-value: ~1.2 W/m²K; U-value: 0.15 W/m²K  60% reduction in heating costs, near NET ZERO.

 Window Security  24 mm single-glazed doors, 28 mm multipoint tilt and turn, football impact resistant, and BS EN 14449 certified
 Lifespan: 5 to 10 years  Exceeding 50 years  15-year warranty against stains; stability of Siberian Spruce 
The cavity is your canvas: Want 200 mm rock wool for Scottish winters? Or minimal insulation for a garden studio? The void adapts to your climate, not marketing fluff.



The Timber Bible: Arming Buyers Against Industry Lies
While rivals hide behind glossy brochures, Factory Cabins exposes the dark underbelly of timber construction via 120,000+ words of forensic guides; please visit our blog.
 The 6Point Quality Framework: Recognise inferior cabins by checking purlin depth (theirs is 45×250 mm compared to a poor 45×150 mm), timber density, and FSC certification.

Myth Busting Masterclasses apex roofs? Half the load-bearing capacity.

PVC windows in log cabins are not a clever idea. Guaranteed cracks as timber breathes and moves, and our CNC wooden windows are built with joinery glulam, giving them strength and flexibility; they never warp, leak, or crack.”
 Explaining the ‘Why’: Kiln drying science (12% moisture stability), fire-retardant treatments.
