Timber Cabin Doors & Windows — FAQ

Practical answers to common questions about glazing, frames, fittings and upgrades for timber log cabins.

What glazing options are available?

There are three standard double-glazing options: <strong>Standard</strong>, <strong>Superior</strong> and <strong>Premium</strong>. All use two panes of glass with an inert gas-filled cavity; the difference is the cavity width and overall thermal performance (wider cavity = better insulation).

What are the typical glazing specifications?

Typical specs are: Standard ~ <code>4-6-4</code> (4mm glass / 6mm gap / 4mm), Superior ~ <code>4-10-4</code>, and Premium ~ <code>4-16-4</code> (or <code>3-20-3</code> on some models). Wider gaps give improved insulation.

How do window opening mechanisms differ?

Standard glazing commonly uses outward side-hung windows. Superior and Premium glazing typically use <strong>tilt-and-turn</strong> windows (inward opening at bottom or side). In some double-leaf windows one leaf will tilt-and-turn while the other is fixed.

Do door and window fittings differ between specs?

Do door and window fittings differ between specs?

Can I get factory-painted door and window units?

Yes. Factory-painted frames are available in three RAL choices (White RAL 9016, Anthracite Grey RAL 7016, and Brown). Paint is applied in two coats for durability; paint and frame warranties apply (example: 2-year paint, 5-year timber — check your specific product page for exact terms).

What are "residential specification" windows?

Residential-spec windows are higher-grade, intended for permanent or year-round use. They offer stronger frames, improved locking and can be double or triple glazed for superior thermal performance.

What structural features support doors and windows?

Cabin logs are machined with slots to accept vertical reinforcement beams that help keep walls straight and prevent bowing. Self-adhesive weather tape is provided to seal the top and sides of frames while allowing the logs to move (shrink/swell).

Can I customise the number or position of windows and doors?

Yes — for bespoke cabins you can choose log thickness, glazing standard, add or reposition windows and doors, or request residential-grade joinery. Standard cabins may also accept optional upgrades.

How should I choose which glazing standard I need?

Consider cabin use (seasonal or year-round), local climate, maintenance and budget. Premium glazing costs more but gives better insulation — recommended if you plan to use the cabin in cold months or convert to permanent use.
