This is the cabin itself, vacuum packed for transport and as a weather resistant barrier. It is neatly packed and contains all the logs and pieces needed to build your log cabin. All our buildings are manufactured from high-quality Nordic kiln-dried spruce. Long cold winters and short summers, are characteristic to the region, which in turn creates a slow growth rate of timber, meaning it is strong, long-lasting and durable. We value highly the aesthetic aspects of spruce; its fresh light Nordic hue and small knots.
All our cabins have different thickness logs which will be highlighted in the specification, this log thickness is the thickness of the wall giving excellent U values. 28mm = 2.6w/m2k & 44mm = 1.98w/m2k.

Hexagon felt shingles are a self-adhesive, strong and durable roofing material, unlike traditional roofing felt these are a high end long-lasting solution. They are applied in 900mm strips and fastened in place with a heavy duty staple. It creates an attractive honeycomb, hexagon effect. This is then finished with a rectangular ridge tile protecting the ridge of your building.

Both the roof and floor boards are made from a 19mm Tongue and Groove. The boards lock together and are fixed in two places to ensure there is no cupping. We do not use any flimsy sheet material in any building leaving you in the knowledge that the cabin is made from the highest quality and attractive timber. All of the boards are put through a rigorous selection process where a laser will assess the all the imperfections and discard any timbers that do not meet our high standards.

​

Double glazed units provide that extra bit warmth and protection from the outside elements. Our double glazed units are a 3mm float, 6mm void and 3mm float.

​

The bearers are the part of the cabin that touches the buildings base. With this being the case they are treated to give added protection and durability.

Every cabin comes with the facia boards to finish the cabin, as standard. The style depends on the design of the building. For larger cabins we use a 20x125mm board, smaller cabins generally use a 20x100mm board and the more decorative buildings have a waved facia board. If you need to know which your cabin comes with then the display picture of each cabin is fairly accurate. Alternatively you can contact a member of the sales team and they will be able to assist you.

As standard our cabins come with a cylinder lock with two keys, adjustable window and door hinges, aluminium handle plates, window stays and keeps and an aluminium threshold plate. The full fixing kit is provided for a quick assembly.

Storm proofing bars are essential in keeping the building together in high storms and extreme weather conditions, they are grooved to allow the building to move and swell through-out the seasons. They are bolted in place with the bolts from your fixing kit.

Roof Insulation
To ensure your cabin is cosy in the winter and cool in the summer you have the option to insulate the roof and floor. The roof is insulated with a 25mm foil backed solid foam board which sits inside a framework of a 25x50mm pressure treated batten. It is then covered by a 12mm ply board. The shingles are then fixed on top of this, this makes the roof a finished thickness of 56mm providing a water tight and thick barrier from the cold and beaming sun.

Floor Insulation
To ensure your cabin is cosy in the winter and cool in the summer you have the option to insulate the roof and floor. The floors are insulated with a 25mm foil backed foam board, these are held up against the bottom of the floor boards with a 19x38mm batten. This also creates a void which allows air to circulate keeping the floorboards ventilated and dry. It is then capped either end with a 20x70mm treated board.

Factory Dipped Treatment
Our cabins come in untreated, but we now have the availability of having the cabin dipped in a treatment beforehand. The cabin is submerged in a tank of wood preservative to ensure protection against blue stain, wood destroying fungi, insects and prepares the timber for painting. Shown in the pictures is the brown treatment which can be done, however we suggest the white treatment this gives a very slight white hue to the timber and does not dramatically change the colour of the building, retaining the wood effect.

Extra Double Window
In most cases we can fit an extra double window in a solid wall, there are some limitations where we need full logs above the window or a certain span to fit it in, but generally your building can be opened up to a large amount of extra light.
