What differentiates one cabin to the next ?
Consider how cabins are manufactured - almost all cabin manufacturers produce their wall logs using computer driven milling machines. A blank piece of timber is offered up to the machine and according to its instruction, will manufacture the required log and end joins. For the most part, a log produced in one machine is not dissimilar to a log produced on an other machine at another factory. With this in mind, what other elements of a product will therefore make the difference between one manufacturer / supplier and another ?
Let's make a short list
- Floor bearers
- Roof and floor boards
- Doors and windows
- Customer service and support
As far as the cabin kit goes, the main opportunity to make or break a deal is the doors and windows. This is the key element that can expose buildings of a lesser quality. With that in mind, consider the following information that will help you better understand the quality standards and how it might affect your purchase.
