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.

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?

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.
