Easily Build A Sturdy Log Cabin!

Building your own home is easier than you may think if you opt for a log home. In addition to being robust and cosy, log cabins are an affordable solution for owning a home.

Stephen's Residential Log Cabin (Northampton)

We had been dealing with Steve for about one year and a half before we finally agreed on a Hymer twin-skin residential log cabin. After a few weeks of work in the factory and a couple of days of assembly, this fully insulated log cabin is now proudly standing in the grounds of Towcester. Double 44mm thick walls with insulation in between as well as under the floor and on the roof will keep this cabin warm all year round – and let’s not forget to mention the double-glazed windows and doors that come as standard. We have advised Steve to treat his log house every two years in order for it to maintain its best features and long lifespan! (More)
EPDM roof coating for log cabins

Log cabins kits usually come with sloped or flat roofs and roofing felt is commonly used to make roll roofing and roof shingles.

Advantages of Living in a Log Cabin

The main advantages of the log cabins are simple maintenance, noise reduction, and energy efficiency. These buildings have comfortable majestic appearance and charm. However, there are many people who say that these buildings are of short-term value and cold during the winter. We think that the great look of your building can increase the value of the land and the price of your own log cabin is really reasonable. Your home must be a comfortable, warm, beautiful, and great place for you, your friends, and family members to meet and spend leisure time. Today the building standards that are used for cabins are really high so you will definitely get a high quality, comfortable, energy-efficient, beautiful, healthy, and unique home. What is more, warm and sturdy cabins seem to be making a com… (More)
