FactoryCabins Twin Skin Log Cabins: Original 200mm Void Insulation Pioneers

Beyond the Log: Why Our Twin Skin System Makes Factory Cabins the Undisputed Kings of Insulated Luxury

The call of the wild, the crackle of a campfire, the serenity of nature – holiday parks and camping sites offer an escape we all crave. But for park owners, providing accommodation that delivers genuine comfort, year-round appeal, and lasting quality is paramount. Guests expect more than just a basic shelter; they seek a cosy, efficient haven. That’s where Factory Cabins revolutionises the market with our industry-leading Twin Skin Log Cabin System. Forget ordinary log cabins; we engineer extraordinary, insulated sanctuaries, and here’s precisely why we stand head and shoulders above the rest.

The Core of Comfort: Our Unbeatable Twin Skin Engineering

The secret sauce isn’t just having insulation; it’s how it’s integrated, protected, and maximised. Our Twin Skin system isn’t a mere add-on; it’s a fundamental reimagining of log cabin construction:

1.  The Precision Timber Core (70mm x 70mm): Each log in our twin skin walls starts with a robust 70mm x 70mm profile of seasoned Kiln-Dried (KD) FSC Swedish Spruce. This isn’t just any timber. KD ensures stability, minimising shrinkage, and warping. FSC certification guarantees sustainable, ethically sourced material. Swedish Spruce is renowned for its strength, straight grain, and natural resilience. This core provides the structural integrity and beautiful aesthetic log cabins are loved for.

2.  The Engineered Void (200mm) Crucially, we don’t just pack insulation tightly around logs. We create a dedicated, 200mm void between the inner and outer log skins. This isn’t an afterthought; it’s a meticulously designed chamber serving multiple critical functions:

       Optimal Insulation Depth: This generous space allows for the installation of thick, high-performance insulation (like mineral wool or rigid board) without compression. Compression is the enemy of insulation value (R-value). Our void ensures the insulation performs at its absolute peak, creating an exceptional thermal barrier. This means cabins stay effortlessly warm in winter and refreshingly cool in summer – slashing energy costs for park owners and maximising guest comfort.

       Hidden Infrastructure: Wires, pipes, and essential services need to run cleanly and safely. Our 200mm void provides the perfect, protected conduit. No unsightly surface trunking, no compromising insulation depth for services, just a clean, professional internal and external finish.

       Ventilation & Moisture Control: Properly managed airflow within the void is key to preventing condensation and ensuring the longevity of both the timber and the insulation. Our system design incorporates principles for effective vapour control and ventilation within this cavity.

3.  The Fort Knox Locking System: A cabin is only as strong as its joints. Our logs aren’t just stacked; they’re precision-engineered to lock together seamlessly. Using state-of-the-art CNC machinery, each log features intricate, interlocking profiles. This creates:

       Unrivalled Structural Rigidity: Walls become incredibly strong monoliths, resistant to twisting or settling.

       Air & Weather Tightness: The tight, complex joinery minimises air infiltration, eliminating drafts and further boosting the thermal efficiency engineered by the insulated void. Wind-driven rain struggles to penetrate.

       Speed & Precision of Assembly: Our automated manufacturing ensures every log fits perfectly, making on-site construction faster, more accurate, and less reliant on skilled labour adjustments.

Factory Cabins: Pioneers and Perfectionists

We didn’t just adopt the Twin Skin concept; Factory Cabins designed it and brought it to market first. We saw the limitations of traditional solid log or basic insulated panels and engineered a superior solution. This pioneering spirit is backed by unwavering commitment to quality:

   Double Glazed Toughened Standard: Every single cabin we produce, whether our premium Twin Skin or our robust standard 44mm log cabins, comes fitted as standard with high-performance double-glazed, toughened glass units. Safety, security, thermal efficiency, and noise reduction are non-negotiables for us.

   Seasoned KD FSC Swedish Spruce: We insist on the best raw materials. No green timber, no questionable sourcing. Only stable, durable, beautiful, and sustainable spruce.

   Zero Corners Cut: From timber selection to final quality control, our process is rigorous. We invest in quality because we build cabins designed to last decades in demanding holiday park environments.

   Full Automation & CNC Precision: Our entire production line leverages the latest CNC machinery. This guarantees absolute consistency, flawless machining of complex joints, and efficiency that translates into value. Every cabin benefit from this industrial-grade precision.

The designer, manufacturer, and first to commercialise the Twinskin system is the Boss of Factory Cabins; comprehending this form of engineering employing timber is an art. Too many manufacturers do not truly understand what we designed and how to manufacture it; the range of tolerances and quality of build we have encountered over the last 14 years at various shows throughout Europe has shown us the bad, very bad, and exceptionally bad; we have never found a quality twin-skin cabin that, in our opinion, met all of the criteria we set out at the outset.

Thank you for reading this. I hope you have learned a few things in this blog about my twinskin system. What’s absolutely true, they are the best of the best twinskins in the world.
