What is the difference between our laminated log cabins and the rest?

Glulam log cabins, or laminated log cabins can be as different as night or day.

Sadly the public fined it impossible to tell the difference between a cheap finger-jointed cabin and an engineered quality laminated log cabin.

So logcabinslv.co.uk is going to help you understand the good, and bad also the incredibly very ugly!

The Good!

When looking for a quality laminated log cabin you firstly must look at where the timber is manufactured and from what!

The manufacturing of the laminated timber for your cabin is with out doubt the most important part of all the process.

Firstly, and all this information should be available from your chosen supplier when you are thinking of buying what we call in the trade The Best of All Log Cabins, you need to ask what type of bonding agents they use, and if it is for public domain, and for them to show you the certificates which are in date. There are many bonding agents that can cause serious Toxic harm to humans. This should be of major concern when you’re thinking of purchasing a Laminated Log Cabin.

From the beginning of the process, the timber, which is fed into the lamination line, should be a grade quality C24; we can hear many mills scream at that, as C24 is the summit of visual graded timber. It is then fed into the line where many processes incredibly improve the timber quality from C24 to an unbelievable C36.

Firstly, the moisture content of each and every plank of graded material to be checked.

Then the plank should be resized and edged.

Every plank should have all blemishes removed! The more you remove, the higher the grade.

All timber should start the beginning of the process at a 6m length.

Quality Laminated Timber is made from long lengths of timber, not minuscule bits!
