Our exterior walls come with a damp proof membrane, additional cavity for ventilation and exterior cladding facade that will secure your new home from heat loss, damp and wind for many generations to come.

Environment
Because log cabins are built from wood or logs, they are more 'greener' or environmentally friendly than their brick built counterparts. This is because a timber home uses more natural resources than brick and concrete homes.
Carbon footprint
They also use less energy to manufacture than other types of building materials.
Our Log cabins are highly energy efficient. Our Fully Built cabins with standard Exterior Cavity Wall system specification gives you approx. B3 Ber rating.
Since the requirement of heating are alot less, compared with a conventional irish building, Alot less energy is needed in providing a heatsource for your new space lowering your carbon footprint! There is less impact on the enviroment as a result.
every little helps...
Our cabins, With addition to exuding a warm sort of earthiness with their appearance, also have another bonus "Wood itself provides natural insulation".
Warmth...If your Irish you`ve been in a house with no heat on, or even that rental house with the drafts and dodgy insulation, cold parts you just cant seem to warm!
Have you ever touched that concrete wall? its cold, then touched the wooded surface its alot warmer?
Now, with heat on the wood surface it gets warmer it doesnt absorb the energy, soak it up for hours and stay relativly cold. Cant picture that?
You`ve stepped on that concrete or tile floor in your bare feet... enough said
This is the same warm effect all over the inside of your Log cabin!

Damp Proof Breathable Membrane
- All our fully Built cabins are protected with damp proof membrane fully covering the structure and insulation externally all around, this technology keep the moisture away.
- Breathable membranes are water resistant but vapour permeable. Typically they are used within external wall and roof constructions where the external cladding is used. Function; A breathable membrane is positioned on the outer side of the insulation, allowing vapour to escape from inside (preventing sweat, leading to damp or mould) while repelling any water that tries to enter.

- We are one of the only companys in Ireland that provide this service.
- External log cabin wall insulation system will protect the structural wall of the cabin, you will not lose any of the internal space inside the cabin compared to the cheap internal wall insulation installed by our competitors. Where there is more chance of getting damp and reduce the space internally of minimum of 6 inches (or 150mm) of your living space on your exterior walls. Also Where there is no air gap for ventilation.
