This 5x3m pent garden room has many different specifications and options. The base model is 28mm single skin wall logs, which is perfectly fine as an uninsulated summerhouse or store room. Next up are 34mm and 44mm walls. These are more substantial than the 28mm cabin. But not just thicker - they have double tongue and grooves for a stronger, more weatherproof joint. Not only that, but they also come with double glazing as standard as well. But if you add our insulated roof and floor kit to these, it makes it much more useable. It's warm enough to use in Spring and Autumn with minimal heat required. Then stepping up further through the wall thicknesses to 70mm single skin. This is obviously a very substantial strong log cabin and obviously that much warmer than a 28mm wall. 

 

However, Twin Skin cabins are about 3 times warmer than an equivalent amount of timber to use a thick single skinned cabin due to the cavity walls. We can even make cabins to comply with Building Regulations for habitation! Our Twin skin cabins are suitable as garden annexes because they are as warm as a new-build house!

All of our log cabin kits are made from good quality kiln dried spruce which is felled from responsibly managed and sustainable forests. The key to stable timber is that it grows in cold climates. This makes each growth ring thinner, leading to a dense and durable product. The thinner the growth ring, the thinner each cell becomes. It is the thickness of the timber cells that make it more stable, or not.
