Net Zero Timber-Frame Buildings in Scotland


Before we begin, please remember that Factory Cabins is able to offer a complete bespoke Net Zero, highly insulated timber frame building, be it an office, a garage, or a family home, from say 90 m2 to 3000 m2. A net zero highly insulated house is not available for £30.000; we only manufacture quality kits that start at say 100 m2, which are around £70.000 for net zero standard materials. The insulation level in these kits is far superior to anything on the market, as are the triple-glazed windows and doors. If the company you want to compare us against is not offering KD C24 FSC everywhere, then forget about them. Its not apples against apples; it’s rubbish against quality. Any company that says they can offer a net zero house starting at £20.000 is a con, and their buildings will be absolute rubbish! If you are looking for a full turn-key option, please just ask. Net zero means something more than just at 7 letter word.

Summer Cottages

logcabins- summer cottages

Summer Cottage -log cabins

Through out Finland there are a staggering 152.000 lakes, around these pristine lakes are situated many thousands of sauna summer cottages.

Sauna in Finland is seen as the ideal way of rejuvenating the skin, getting rid of toxins and relaxing after a hard days work. Baths are not a common place in Finnish houses or apartments.

Therefore, when the Fin’s travel to their summer cottages at the weekends, or on their annual leave, sauna is a huge part of that vacation experience.

Incorporating a sauna into a summer cottage needs to be thought out well, as the whole family will participate, which means their could be as many as 10 to 20 people enjoying an evening in the woods, having BBQ a few beers, Sauna and midnight swim.

Around the summer, cottages could be many small interlocking log cabins to accommodate friends and family, so interlocking log cabins, or timber frame cabins are very popular in Finland.

Most summer cottages are fully insulated, and some can be as large as 250 sq meters, depending on the plot size! Triple Glazing and strong roofs are necessary due to snowfall, below temperatures, and the occasional bear waking up and foraging, and the most popular route into a cottage by bears is through the roof!

It is very important that when manufacturing a summer cottage one begins to think about what kind of timber to use, in the old days it would have been solid logs, round, hand sawn and quite a crude structure. More refined summer cottage cabins came to fruition in the 60’s and 70’s, and then in the 80’s quality interlocking structures were popping up all over the lakeshores. These are manufactured from quality pine logs and from then until now nothing much has changed in design or quality.

We have looked at traditional summer cottages and believe that by using an Engineered 220mm x 200mm Glulam log, this will be sufficient to keep the cold out, will stand the test of time with the scorching summers and extremely cold winters.

We have taken some time in redesigning a few of the most popular designed summer cottages, and giving them a make over….

At the beginning of February, we will be offering the Finnish public a New log cabin website. On offer will be the whole LV range, including our new Summer Cottage Range.

Do not settle for less!

Timber Frame Buildings!

 

Timber Frame Cabins-Offices-Studios, A Granny Annex, and so on, should now be built to the Euro 5 Code, however, sadly 99.9% of structures, timber frame or log dwellings which need to comply do not!

In the UK for instance, most weight bearing walls are manufactured using the lowest Grade C16 for any weight bearing area, as this is the UK’s minimum allowance. Now we are very different, we believe quality should not come with a high cost, and safety comes before profit. All our timber frame buildings have the highest-grade timber C24.

What also stands us out from the rest of the trade is our very thick, high strength framework. Our walls for a normal size office, or garden Studio are from between 210mm to 400mm, our roofs can be a from 250mm to 600mm and the floors can be from 200mm to 500mm depending on the U values needed, and climate conditions.

If you are looking for a quality timber frame, Siberian clad office, garden room, or just a high spec. high quality utility room, with super high insulation values and low costing, please give us a call or send us an email today!
