Log Cabins - Amazing Homes

Log cabins are an ideal way to add extra rooms and buildings to your home.  With a massive choice of plans, woods, finishes, windows and more, you can have an amazing home for you and your family.

Long ago we all lived in wood homes, but the developments of more newer building materials and techniques saw wood actually reduce as a building material.  Fast forward to today where people are increasingly environmentally conscious and looking to surround themselves with more natural materials, and wood buildings are actually making a resurgence.

Since those early days of wood structures techniques have progressed a lot.  Today's log cabins come in a wide variety of dimensions.  The walls can be thin, thick or even really thick.  The walls can be insulated with natural materials such as straw and wood.  The best wood homes today have double glazing.

Today's wood houses are now more energy efficient that mortar or brick buildings from 50 years ago.  The materials used to build log houses come from sustainable woods, where local woods are grown, giving the maximum consideration for the environment. As well as being warmer, but more environmentally friendly as well.

Wooden homes, and other timber buildings can be used for many different purposes.  You can add extra space to your home, and garden buildings, garages, workshops, offices, and more.

Timber buildings are generally easier to construct than concrete buildings.  Those keen and experienced with DIY can build a log homes without too many specialist tools.  Obviously a helping hand from a family member is always a help.

Once wood houses are built they are adaptable to meet the changing needs of your property.  Extra fittings can be easily fitted within the building.  Because of the natural material, and natural oils in the woods, log cabins retain their beautiful smell for years.  With just a little wood care treatment the smell can remain for the lifetime of the building.

With wood being such a light friendly substance log houses and log cabins generally are very light buildings.  With such a great choice of windows there is no excuse for dark or cold rooms anymore.

Imagine that you have a new, beautifully smelling, wood, light guest bedroom in your garden that you could show your visitors too.  You could even stay in it yourself during the summer.  Almost like having a holiday in your own garden.

Whatever you need more space for, wooden houses  are a great solution.
