We give you the freedom to tailor your design and features to meet your specific needs and preferences. You can choose from various sizes, styles and building elements, and select various windows, doors, floor and roofing options.
Will my multi-room log cabin require planning permission?
In most cases, your new building won’t need planning permission, but there are exceptions. It’s wise to do some research before starting your project. Larger cabins may often be subject to regulatory requirements.
What’s the difference between double-glazing and single-glazing windows for log cabins ?
The biggest difference between single and double glazing is their composition:
- Double-glazed windows consist of two panes of glass with a gap in between. This gap is filled with argon gas, which reduces heat loss and improves indoor air quality and comfort. Double-glazing offers better insulation and energy efficiency compared to single-glazing.
- Single-glazed windows consist of only one pane of glass and provide less insulation.
Does double glazing cost more?
Yes, our cabins offer optional double glazing at a small extra cost. While there is an initial investment, double-glazed units save money over time through reduced energy costs. In addition, our double glazing provides unmatched quality, longevity and security.
How do you ensure my garden building is protected from the elements?
Our garden buildings are designed with a roof overhang to protect the walls and foundation from weather damage. We’ve designed our log cabins with the UK weather in mind to ensure optimal structural integrity over time. A quality overhang protects your cabin from rain, snow and other elements. This element can help to preserve the condition of the cabin’s internal space.
How durable are your garden buildings?
Durability is central to the design of our log cabins, as they’re engineered to withstand the harsh UK weather and heavy use over time. Your cabin will remain safe, secure and functional thanks to its
top-notch materials and heavy-duty construction techniques.
How do I maintain my multi-room garden cabin?
Regular maintenance includes regularly treating the wood with preservatives and inspecting and repairing damaged roof shingles. We also recommend that you clean your gutters regularly and check the integrity of the wall logs and double-glazing. These checks are to ensure your cabin stays in top condition.
Do you have any anti-rot guarantees?
Yes, most of our log cabins are backed by 5-10-year anti-rot guarantees for your peace of mind. This allows you to enjoy your cabin with confidence, knowing we are here to support you if any rot or decay issues arise.
To maintain the validity of the guarantee, regular treatment of the cabin is essential.
What are wall logs, and how do they affect insulation?
Wall logs are the primary structural elements of a log cabin, and their thickness can impact insulation. Larger or thicker wall logs offer better thermal insulation, helping to keep your cabin warm during colder months and cool in the summer.
How does interlocking log construction benefit my garden cabin?
We interlock our log construction to ensure a more secure fit between the wall logs, enhancing the overall stability of the cabin. This method also provides better insulation, reduce drafts and helping maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round.
