Double Skin & Insulated Log Cabins

Our insulated garden cabins are an excellent addition to any property. Not only are they cost-effective, but they can also be transformed into home offices, gyms or studios, giving you long-term flexibility and comfort.

Superior Insulation & Flexibility

Double-skin log cabins are made with two layers of logs for extra insulation. Both the inner layer and outer layer are made from the same log thickness, which is commonly 44 mm, although thicker logs can also be used. We also offer 68 and 90-mm logs. 

The two layers of logs are then joined together with a tongue and groove joint, providing a log cabin with enhanced insulation and structural stability.

Important Considerations for Insulated Log Cabins

If you are considering a double-skin log cabin for your garden, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• Cost: Double-skin log cabins are more expensive than single-skin log cabins. This is because they require more materials and labour to build. Although a log cabin with insulation may cost more initially, it’s worth the investment due to the long-term benefits and added value. 
• Weight: Double-skin log cabins are heavier than single-skin log cabins, so you will need to make sure that your foundation is strong enough to support the weight of the cabin.
• Maintenance: Garden cabins require more maintenance than single-skin cabins. This is because the air gap between the two layers of logs can trap moisture, which can lead to mould and mildew. You will need to make sure that you clean and seal the cabin regularly. Fortunately, we provide high-quality wood treatments as an optional add-on to prevent this from happening.

Location & Planning Permissions

After choosing your insulated log cabin, ensure the site is level for a solid foundation and has enough space for the cabin and any additional structures. It’s also important to check local planning and building regulations. You may require planning permission to ensure your structure complies with your local building regulations.

Our insulated log cabins for gardens are an eco-friendly option for those looking to add extra living space to their outdoor area.

Here’s what you can expect from our unique range of insulated garden cabins.

High-Quality Materials

Our insulated cabins are constructed from the highest quality timber, with a 44mm twin-wall structure and a 50mm cavity between the two walls. The thick logs interlock at the corners, giving extra sturdiness to the structure. /p>

The benefit of double skin means that our cabins are easily insulated between the log walls. This enhances thermal efficiency and ensures a comfortable interior temperature year-round.

Diverse Insulation Options & Add-Ons

Our insulated garden log cabins are suitable for year-round use, providing extra protection, warmth, functionality and sound insulation. We highly recommend upgrading the standard external door and window units to the Premium fit to reduce the potential for condensation buildup on the glass.  

Premium fit windows and doors provide much higher levels of insulation on par with that achieved by the double wall construction. 

If you’re curious about other ways to enhance your insulated garden cabin, we provide optional extras:

• Double-glazed windows and doors
• Pressure-treated toughened glass
• Composite bearer upgrades
• EPDM roof coverings or roof shingles
• Factory-painted doors and windows
• Wood treatment to prevent rot

Simply select which add-ons you would like when purchasing your cabin, and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you are looking for a log cabin that is energy-efficient, warm, durable and attractive, then Log Cabin Kits has the perfect solution with many added benefits. 

Having an energy-efficient building is especially important with the UK’s recent climate goals and building regulations. Double walls not only provide great insulation but help save energy, making the building more comfortable and improving indoor air quality.

Here are some of the benefits of our double-skin log cabins:

• Energy efficiency: Our double skin log cabins are more energy-efficient than single-skin log cabins. The air gap between the two layers of logs provides insulation, which helps to keep the wooden cabin warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This also reduces heating and cooling costs, saving you money.
• Durability: Our insulated log cabins in the UK are more durable than single-skin varieties. The two layers of logs protect each other from the elements, keeping your double-wall log cabin secured and protected from wind, rain and snow damage.  
• Aesthetics: Our cabins offer a traditional and attractive look, enhanced by natural light through strategically placed windows. The two layers of logs create a classic appearance that many find appealing.
• Natural materials: We source our materials from sustainably managed forests that grow natural timber spruce wood, known for its ease of construction, rigidity and sustainability.
• Soundproofing: The air gap between the two layers of logs provides additional sound insulation, making our log cabins a good choice for those seeking a garden office or a quiet environment.
• Custom Design: Our cabins can be easily customised to suit a wide range of uses and bespoke design preferences. With options for different floor plans, single or double doors and windows, and various finishes and amenities, you can create a cabin that perfectly fits your lifestyle.
• Versatility: Our double-skin log cabins can be used for a variety of purposes. These include garden offices, a hobby room, or a quiet retreat from your residential property.
