Some important facts about Residential Log Cabins.
With the emerging consciousness in society nowadays of going back to the basics and nature preservation, the idea of having a Residential Log Cabin has taken on a much greater appeal today than in the past. In recent times, log cabins have become a symbol of the outdoors and has come to represent eco-friendly building. The advent of modern technology has elevated the status of log cabins from just being holiday homes to that of a contemporary permanent dwelling.
As timber is a very flexible construction material. Its flexibility makes designing a building quite easy. Within your plan for your Residential Log Cabin you can now determine the floor plan, number of rooms, etc. on the site. We can offer a fully integrated plan suitably customised to your requirements.
With good design and the correct protection and maintenance, our Residential Log Cabins will last for a very long life. Perhaps this is why most of the large houses in the olden days were made out of Timber. Plus, the material is resistant to most climatic conditions such as heat, frost, corrosion, pollution, etc.

Building a Summerhouse / Summer Houses/ Octagonal Summer House or just simple 3m x 3m corner Summer house can be a therapeutic distraction from the stresses and strains of the "real world". The aim, of course, is to be able to enjoy your retreat but in the meantime, the building process can have its own rewards of a very satisfying sense of achievement. From planning the Summer house to deciding what will go where, the building project should have its fun aspects. It can be lots of work if you are doing it yourself but when you walk through the front door of your completed Summer house, you will forget how much work it took to get there!
People build a Summer house for a variety of reasons. Some do so strictly for leisure-- to have a retreat in which to relax and enjoy themselves. Some want a fishing or hunting cabin in order to pursue their hobby. Or a wooded site to hike, mountain climb, or even to photograph nature. Others may want to build a structure that will strengthen family ties or a one that can be enjoyed and passed down through generations as a legacy. Once a family has started enjoying the warm weather together in their summer home, it is easy to establish it as a regular retreat.

Siberian Larch Cabin series.
Another great 1st from Logcabins lv We at www.logcabins.lv wanted to bring to market a building which was durable, which we could guarantee body life for more than 20 years, which would need little or no maintenance, that would age and still keep its beauty, that would be water proof, warm, and aesthetically pleasing.
Also we needed to bring to market a building that would not need planning permission in the UK, hence 2.47m high. So as always, www.logcabins.lv has come to market first.
LogCabins.Lv are proud to announce the very first Cabin Style Insulated Siberian Larch Sectional Buildings. Our Brand is responsible for so many firsts such as the Clock House, The Twin Skin Log Cabin System, Garden Office Style Cabins, and so many other designs and now we offer a truly amazing Insulated Building.
You may be asking yourself how is this possible? And why have you never heard of Siberian Larch?

When considering the purchase of a Garden Log Cabin or a Residential Log Cabin, however good the insulation properties may be, beware of the strong possibility of all of your heating flying out of an inferior quality window.
It's a tragic shame to see quite well built Log Cabins with Windows and Doors that, once again, look nice, but are not made with the care and craftsmanship in line with your overall expectations.
What to look for !
The terminology of "Double Glazing" in most people's minds is that of two pieces of glass separated apart by an air gap and fitted inside a frame, thus providing better insulation and better noise diffusion.
Any heat loss problem does not usually arise from the windows themselves, but from the double glazed sealed glass unit. The double glazed units are often sealed together with a bitumen product, and if this bitumen breaks down, the seal is broken and damp air and water can penetrate inside the unit, and this is where you see moisture between the 2 panes of glass, and this is what causes condensation on double glazed windows.
This, in turn reduces the efficiency level of the insulation properties.

Feast your eyes at this picture. This is a section of a Twinskin (Double walled) Log Cabin. Each separate wall is a minimum of 45mm thick. The holes that you see are for Steel Rods for additional support and rigidity. Where else will you find such care and thought that has gone into such manufacture ?
Our "Twinskin" Log Cabins are, as you see in the photograph, manufactured in a unique way. Particularly good for the larger Residential Log Cabins offering greater stability than many other Log Cabins that continue to create a mere perception of solid wood walls when in fact they are not.
As one of the original major distributors of "Twinskin" Log Cabins in the U.K. and parts of Europe, you can be assured that we have ironed out all the necessary obstacles and difficulties attached to such precision related engineering to end up with a superb construction that is ready made for top quality insulation within the cavity produced by the Twinskin design.This superb method not only minimises heat loss but also acts as a great sound diffuser providing that all important feeling of tranquility and peace from any outside noise.Note by looking from the outside corner you will see two end sets of solid logs exposed in an interlocked fashion. please look very carefully at some other manufacturers who create the impression of "Twinskin" walls by showing you projections that have just been stuck on the outside. We have even seen this done on single walls to give this misleading perception.When you deal with logcabins.lv you can be assured that a "Twinskin" building is a truly original well made "Twinskin" at its best.

Wall lining and insulation in log cabins and our thoughts on this.

Wall Lining and Insulation is sadly pushed by companies that would like to increase their profit margin. Nothing else.Twin Skin Log Cabins, Daul wall log cabins, Insulated Log Cabins, or Twin Skin Cabins, all these types of log cabins have connecting walls.

Russians and Fins have been using logs to build houses from for hundreds of years. As have other nations. And the Twin Skin system has been used for hundreds of years.

Their experience is one to learn from not as the uneducated do, and sneer at it, believing they know best!

In the UK we are slowly but surely beginning to understand what timber frame housing can offer, and how it can save us a great deal money in energy costs due to high insulation values, and be better for the environment.

But also how timber frame is a way of life, living in a space of natural refreshing energy!

Logcabins.lv has with in it’s website the largest selection of Logcabins in the world.All our Logcabins are totally unique to us, and as the forefather of Interlocking Log Cabins in the UK /Ireland / Australia / America / and some parts of Europe we believe our knowledge and understanding of how logs work, how the lumber is felled, and how the material is machined gives us truly the loudest voice in timber interlock construction ideas, as we and we alone have tested our log cabins for more that 12 years!

We refined /designed the Twin Skin Log Cabin System which has been used in Northern Siberia for hundreds of years. The design is faultless! And we were the first to offer this in Europe and it is a major seller in European Countries.We are not an agent sitting in an office in the UK; we are here in the Baltic’s, where 68% of all the timber in the UK/Europe comes from, manufacturing Fresh KD FSC Log Cabins that are ordered by you, all this done through our amazing Partner Teams around the Globe.So our thoughts on lining of cabins, actually we think it’s a total waste of money and time, a Twinskin 5m x 5m is cheaper, better, and it’s a stronger build. it is a better build.If your looking for a Residential then a Timber Frame is truly the only way to get quality for your money. Please have a look at our timber frame section, all timber frame units are bespoke, and if you ask our Agents/Partners they will help you design the correct residential Cabin.We at Logcabins.lv care about this industry, which is why we do not sell 28mm cabins, as it’s a floorboard material, not a construction material.

Introducing our BESPOKE service At Logcabins.lv we really do go the extra mile when it comes to bespoke or customised manufactured products for our clients.
When you are confronted by the sales department of a company that says that they can make to your specification, you will generally be left to your own devices to come up with what you require. Often, in manufacturing terms, various designs are formulated by the client and for one reason or another it is impractical to make and the client does not actually end up with what is required. Often this is caused by many manufacturers who prefer to keep to standard items and feel at times that it is not economically viable for them to spend the extra time in pursuing a product that might be a little more complicated than usual.

First again in the U.K. with our "Clockhouse" range.

When it comes to new designs we pride ourselves in being probably the most innovative organisation in the business.
We believe in keeping well ahead of the trend when it comes to new designs and new types of construction. In fact we have set the trend for many other manufacturers. Learn more about the copycats ...
Many manufacturers today find it much easier to copy than to be the forerunner of a marketing project. After all, it's cheaper for them because the innovator has spent most of the money carrying out all the research etc.
However, there are drawbacks to manufacturers in the timber business who copy to make the product a little cheaper.
Simply a reduction in quality.
Please beware of low priced , high perceived value cabins that look as if they are the "Bees knees".

The Scandinavians have been building log homes for decades using sawmill and wood processors that are often missed out of the mass produced ranges that are found in most local garden centres and DIY stores. The thickness of the logs used is not the only benefit, it is the growing process that extends the life of the building and prevents splitting.
As these buildings grow in popularity over the next few years, it is not inconceivable that in the very near future we will see small Scandinavian Log Home streets and developments. At prices far less than traditional brick and increased energy savings to be made by switching to log homes the UK market is already aware that at last there is an affordable home and an alternative eco-friendly way of open space living that has been enjoyed by the Scandinavians for decades to look forward to in the very near future.

INTRODUCTION TO LOGCABINS.LV
TIMBER FRAME RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.
A BRIEF HISTORY AND EXPLANATION ABOUT TIMBER FRAME CONSTRUCTION.

It is estimated that across all the developed countries, timber frame accounts for around 70% of all housing stock, representing some 150 million homes. The current capacity of the UK producers is around 35-40000 units per annum. Small panel hand erect open panel is the most common system used in the UK accounting for ~80% of the market. More advanced closed panel crane erect systems (as used in other countries) are attracting more attention.
Both floors and roofs can also be factory produced into panels called cassettes. Timber frame is renown for its excellence in energy efficiency terms. The acoustic performance of timber frame party walls outperforms masonry by some margin. In terms of durability, NHBC records indicate that timber frame homes tend to perform better than masonry homes.
Timber frame housing is not a new concept - even for the UK. For centuries it was one of the most common construction materials and examples of timber-framed houses from the 12th century are still in existence today. Softwood based timber housing systems (similar to those in use today) date back to the 1780's with fine examples dotted along the East and Southern coasts. Dramatic growth in market share came in the 1960's and 70's with the industrialised housing boom. In 1982, 27% of all new build homes in the UK were constructed from timber frame. A combination of adverse publicity regarding robustness (since proved groundless) and a slowing of the housing market have seen market share fall in Great Britain to around 6% over the last 15 years. Interestingly, in Scotland the market share has remained between 40-45% of all new-built housing throughout this period. It is estimated that of the ~20 million homes that exist in the UK, around 2 million are constructed from timber frame. The last few years have seen a dramatic resurgence in the market with timber frame now accounting for over 8% of all new homes.
As for any other form of construction, timber framed buildings must comply with the requirements of UK Building Regulations. The structure for all timber frame houses must be designed by a qualified structural engineer or be approved by an organisation such as TRADA Technology to verify the structural stability of the construction.
Timber frame houses, flats and maisonettes have for many years been built to a maximum height of three storey's. However, following changes to the Building Regulations, four storey's or more is no longer unusual and flats are now being constructed up to six or seven storey's high. Timber frame is being used extensively for hotels, hostels and nursing homes.

LOGCABINS.LV
Here at logcabins.lv we pride ourselves on our professionalism as well as our outstanding quality of materials and product. All our timber is PEFC, which probably means nothing to the layman but this is a very important procedure in looking after the environment.
PEFC stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes. In short what this means is that customers and consumers are able to identify products from sustainably managed forests. Therefore we are all confident that the timber we get from the forests is replaced with the planting of new trees.
Not only do we use PEFC timber here at logcabins.lv but we use the best structural timber. All our structural timber is graded C24; this means that the higher the number (i.e 24) then the stronger the timber is structurally. This is obtained by inspecting the timber and the fewer the knots, fissures and sloping grain then the higher the grade of timber. The only C18 timber that logcabins.lv uses is for bracing which is basically to tie together the stronger timber.
All our structural beams are made from Glulam, which is produced in one of our factories over in Lithuania. This product is a generic name for glued laminated timber and is fast becoming the popular alternative to steel. Glulam has an excellent strength to weight ratio and can be worked on like other timbers. Glulam's main uses include Lintels, rafters, posts, portal frames, purlins, feature trusses and curved beams all to your specification.
All our timber frame panels at logcabin.lv are manufactured in our Hi-tech factories in Lithuania, which are controlled twenty four hours a day to keep moisture to a minimum and therefore not affecting the timber. We pride ourselves on manufacturing the timber frame kit entirely out of panels and do not send loose timber for the awkward panels to be made on site (this is a habit that many of our rivals seem to have problems with).
All the panels at logcabins.lv are checked for quality as they are being produced and therefore reducing any remedial works when they arrive on site.
We also use the highest quality insulations and plasterboards. The insulations that we use are Rockwool, Isover or Paroc with thicknesses according to specification. The plasterboard/laminated soundboard and fireboard we use are manufactured by Knauf who are an English Company.
A highly skilled team of Timber Frame Erectors will arrive on site and erect your new building with the highest of professionalism and minimum of time. Great effort will be made during the erection process to ensure that each and every panel is erected correctly and structurally sound as per our Engineered drawings and plans.
To enable logcabins.lv to give you an insight of the difference in building a timber frame residential unit against a traditional block and brick unit, we have compiled a list below, which we believe will be helpful to you in your decision making.
1.Life of building. Both building types have the same life span.
2. Acoustics. The acoustic standard of the timber frame unit far outweighs that of brick and block unit.
3.Internal Moisture Control. The timber frame unit uses an average of 10 gallons of water and therefore drying out time is minimal, where as in the brick and block unit, an average of 600 gallons of water is used so drying out time is essential.
4. Complete Construction Time. The average timber frame unit can be built in eight weeks compared to the average brick and block unit taking twenty weeks.
5. Strip Footing (foundation) Width. Under normal ground conditions the footing width for a timber frame unit will be 450mm, where as it would need to be 600mm on a brick and block unit.
6. Insulation. The insulation value of a timber frame unit far exceeds that of it's brick and block rival.
The above is just a list of six advantages of timber frame but there are many many more.
For example.
A wide range of U-values can be achieved depending on the required level of thermal performance.
Excellent thermal efficiency.
Potential for easy future renovation.
Pre-fabrication enhances quality control due to off site manufacture, thereby reducing the risk of on-site workmanship problems.
Light weight requiring reduced footings and foundations compared to masonry construction
Please find below three quotes from professionals within the New Build Housing Industry.
"The NHBC inspects and insures many thousands of homes every year. Our claims records actually show that these (timber frame) houses tend to perform better than masonry homes, as more of the dwelling is made under closely controlled factory conditions" Christopher Mills, Director of Technical services, NHBC.
Insurance companies also tend not to differentiate between timber frame homes and brick/block constructed ones, stipulating only that: "the external roof covering should be of tile, natural or mineral slate or concrete." (The Association of British Insurers).
Despite common perception, mortgage lenders do not discriminate against timber frame. Similarly, property surveyors make no distinction. "I am often asked whether there is a difference in value or marketability with regard to timber framed housing and the answer is definitely no." Peter Hales, Chief Executive, Countrywide surveyors.
THE CODES FOR SUSTAINABLE HOMES.
In 2006 the Government established the Code for Sustainable Homes, setting a 10-year timetable to achieve 'zero carbon standards' for building all new social housing by 2016. This step by step tightening of the 2006 Part L Building Regulations required energy efficiency improvements in new homes of 25% by 2010 and 44% by 2013 compared with 2006 standards—with all homes being 'Zero Carbon' by 2016!
If building owners, developers and contractors are to achieve the current minimum Code for Sustainable Homes levels -and meet the goal of zero carbon within the next few years – carbon emissions produced by space and water heating must be reduced dramatically.
The Code measures the sustainability of a home against nine design categories, rating the 'whole home' as a complete package. The design categories are:
Energy and CO2 Emissions
Water
Materials
Surface Water Run-off
Waste
Pollution
Heath and Wellbeing
Management
Ecology
The Code uses a rating system to communicate the overall sustainability performance of a home. A home can achieve a sustainability rating from one to six stars depending on the extent to which it has achieved Code standards.
One star is the entry level – above the level of the Building Regulations; and six stars is the highest level.
WHY CHOOSE TIMBER FRAME IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUSTAINABLE HOMES?
Building in timber frame makes achieving a high performance building easy due to it's thermal efficient airtight structure. You can relax in the knowledge that logcabins.lv timber frame units have the lowest embodied CO2 of any commercially available building material and delivering up to a 33% reduction in energy consumption for a detached unit. By choosing logcabins.lv timber frame you ensure a faster return on your investment by guaranteeing a faster construction time.
Timber frame is the obvious choice for achieving levels three to six of The Code For Sustainable Homes. You can relax in the knowledge that timber is the ultimate proven sustainable building material and easily the most cost effective solution. Building in timber frame makes it simple and easy to achieve a high performance building fabric.
Timber frame is the natural choice for achieving code compliance and can save up to 5% on building costs compared to brick and block when building to Code level three and above. You can rest assured that by logcabins.lv building your timber frame we can deliver improved thermal efficiency while achieving high levels of insulation and air tightness.
There is now an overwhelming body of scientific evidence showing that climate change is a serious and urgent issue. In 2004, more than a quarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions – a major cause of climate change – came from the energy we use to heat, light and run our homes. So it's vital to ensure that homes are built in a way that minimises the use of energy and reduces these harmful emissions. More sustainable homes can also provide us with improved overall well being and quality of life.
Wood is the only carbon neutral construction material. Strength for strength timber uses five times less energy to produce than concrete and 6 times less than steel.
Every Cubic metre of wood used in construction saves 0.8 tonne of CO2 from the atmosphere. Every timber frame home built saves an average of 4 tonnes of CO2.

8. Completed buildings can be clad in any standard finish – timber, stone, brick, render, tile etc. giving maximum "kerb appeal."

MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT THE PRACTICALITY OF TIMBER FRAME.
Q. Is a timber frame cheaper than traditional build?
A. The cost of the build is comparable but the main cost savings are achieved by the speed of build and the reduced costs of energy year on year.
Q. How is a timber frame different from a traditional build?
A. A traditional built house is normally made of an inner supporting wall of concrete and an outer supporting wall of brick. Unlike timber frame there is no empty cavity to create a complete break from the outside inclement elements (Wind & Rain). The cavities in traditional buildings are either tightly filled with insulation causing "bridging" or poorly fitted insulation with unwanted gaps and there is no guarantee in either case that moisture will not leak through to the inside block work. A modern timber frame house replaces the inner block wall with a timber frame wall strong enough to carry all the loads of the house. This is usually covered by plasterboard internally and a brick or block external finish with an empty 50mm cavity to prevent moisture penetrating into the insulation. Although the external leaf can be clad in timber or board and render finish.
Q. Are you more at risk from fire in a timber frame house?
A. No. In common with all forms of construction timber frame has to meet all Building Regulations. Safety in timber frame is a number one commitment and has an excellent track record.
Q. Are timber frame homes noisy?
A. No. Our modern timber frame systems at logcabins.lv enjoy better acoustic insulation qualities than traditional build and fully confirm or exceed current Building Regulations.
Q. Will I have to pay more for insurance?
A. No. Insurance companies draw no distinction between modern timber frame and brick and block construction provided the external roof covering is of tiles, natural or mineral slates or concrete.
Q. Will a timber frame last?
A. Yes. A new timber frame home will last as well as any other type of new home.
Q. Will a timber frame house look different?
A. No. Usually a timber frame house is clad in brick and look like any other house. You can also use a range of suitable materials, e.g. stone, block, render or timber.
Q. Can I still hang pictures, cupboards etc in my timber frame house?
A. Yes. Many of these jobs are made easier because of the good fixing you get in the vertical studs.
Q. Will I get a mortgage on a timber frame house?
A. Yes. Banks and Building Societies make no differentiation in the lending terms offered on either form of construction.
Q. Is timber frame quicker to build?
A. A timber frame takes far less time to build than the traditional build. In ideal conditions a timber frame house will be wind and watertight within 5 days allowing other tradesmen to start their work.

A TYPICAL TIMBER FRAMED WALL

A) Plasterboard: an internal layer of plasterboard has excellent fire resistance and provides a smooth crack free surface for immediate decoration.
B) Vapour Check: prevents moisture from within the house (steam from kitchens and bathrooms etc) reaching the insulation and timber structure.
C) Structural Timber: the timber framed studs, normally 140mm deep x 38mm wide are usually at 600 centres, but in some cases may be 400 centres. The stud size depth may be increased to give a better thermal value (up to 220mm deep).
D) Thermal Insulation: there are various non combustible products which may be used such as Knauf, mineral wool, cellulose, hemp. sheep wool etc. The stud sizes can be increased to accommodate more insulation (up to 220mm deep).
E) Sheathing Board: this board can be OSB (oriental strand board) or plywood. This strengthens the wall panel and supports the breather membrane.
F) Breather Membrane: this is a water proof membrane fitted to the sheathing board outer frame keeping out moisture which may penetrate the porous concrete blocks or bricks but still allows air through for timbers to breathe.
G) Wall Tiles: the timber frame is the main structure which supports the roof and the outer layer of block or brick is supported by the timber frame by fitting the stainless steel wall ties. They are flexible to allow for differential movement.
H) Cavity: this is a clear 50mm wall cavity which provides a complete separation of the external wall from the highly insulated inside wall and helps prevent any moisture which may penetrate the porous bricks/blocks reaching the inside of the structure. This cavity must be drained and vented.
I) Outer Cladding: the external cladding can be of many materials; most common are brick or rendered block work and is simply a protection for the timber frame. It is now becoming more popular to use Upvc, aluminium or timber.

SUMMARY OF MAIN ADVANTAGES OF TIMBER FRAME FROM LOGCABINS.LV
It's All in the Walls
'Conventional' buildings usually have external walls of bricks, blocks, or other 'wet-build' materials.
'Conventional' wall types tend to vary from region to region and with age of building
Timber Frame buildings (usually) have external walls of composite timber panels
In Timber Frame structures the timber walls support the building NOT the masonry
Most domestic masonry buildings also have timber joist floors & timber rafter roofs

Timber Frame Construction
Durable Long Life
Scientific research has proved the stability of timber frame up to 6 floors high
They are extremely stable and perform better than masonry even in earthquakes
Durable Timber Buildings demonstrably last for hundreds, if not thousands, of years
Rain Proof
Solid masonry is NOT impervious to water, like driving rain.
Many pre-war buildings have 'solid' external walls that can be damp and 'leak' water
Cavity walls provide a gap to stop this water penetration
Modern masonry walls have this gap filled with insulation
Timber frame with integral insulation preserves the cavity to keep the inside dry
Excellent in Fires
Fire & Building Regulations treat timber frame just the same as masonry buildings
National Insurers make no difference between timber frame and masonry for fire
Wood 'charring' actually causes timber to go out unless flame & oxygen are applied
Even forest fires do not burn out some trees
No Drying Out
'Dry' timber frame has thousands of gallons LESS water than masonry
Masonry can take years to dry out, with attendant decoration & shrinkage issues
Timber Frame needs little if any drying out, saving on snagging and maintenance
Most Eco-Friendly
Timber is perhaps the most environmentally sustainable building material
It has many times less embodied energy than brocks, blocks, concrete or steel
Timber needs less energy in the actual construction process than masonry
Timber framed homes are warmer, dryer, less draughty, more comfortable, use less energy and are cheaper to run than most masonry houses.
