Park Home Manufacturers- And what you really get for your money! By log cabins LV ( Chapter 2 )

Dissecting Park Homes and what you really get for your Pound!

Today! The Floor!

We have surfed the web and have taken from 10 different Park Home manufacturers websites build statistics and an average size.

So lets begin!

Firstly the word, High Density 18mm seems to be used a lot to describe ( Chipboard ). We all use chip board, but it needs to be an impregnated and water proof, none of the Park Home Manufacturers stated this!

We then come to the Floor Joists, most companies stated that the size of their floor joists were all under 100mm x 50mm. they all stated they used stress graded timber, but did not state what grade!

Most use Polystyrene as insulation!

And 9/10 use some kind of breathable membrane which is fire and moisture retardant, to the BS 2782, the old and out dated British Standards again!

So sadly as we can see, the floor in most Park Homes sold in the UK is an absolute Joke!

Here is Our Floor..

6 different internal floor finishes available
22mmChipboard on top as the floor base
Segments consisting of 45x200mm c/c600 wooden balks; (Graded C24)
200mm KNAUF insulation, and 3 other types of insulation available.
Water proof 12mm chipboard underneath;
Water Proof -Fire Retardant Membrane ( DuPont Tyvek )

As you can see, our specification of the floor is double compared to 9/10 Park Home Manufacturers. And our pricing is more than half that of all Park Home Manufacturers!

Insulated Garden Offices

quality garden offices

Most Garden Offices are seriously quite aesthetically awful internally and out! . And most timber clad garden offices are seriously over priced.

As always, we at logcabinslv.co.uk have decided to meet the challenge head on and design a new innovative garden office that one has the looks and two has the price.

Our new designs encompass everything a modern office should offer,

High insulation, Quality Materials, Triple Glazing, Hard Wood Flooring. and as we said that aesthetically pleasing look.

However!! These are not just meant to be beautifully looking, these also are able to power themselves with their Solar Roofing Tiles-Shingles, please ask us for advice on this!

But we are offering so much more also.

Most garden offices, please just have a look around and you will notice that it’s just cheap framework, poor insulation, clad in low grade cedar and sell for around 15.000 pounds-20.000 Euros.

When we mean cheap framework, we are speaking about the abundance of C16 timber used to make the office structure, and in some cases its not even graded timber.

Sadly because the garden market is not subject to government scrutiny most garden offices are dangerous and poorly made.

We build all our Timber frame Buildings, be it a Garden Offices- or a Class Room to the Euro 5 code.

Why should you pick logcabinslv.co.uk over other manufacturers, well its quite simple, we have more of more and better than the best, and our prices will cause most manufacturers to rethink there business strategy.

OK! Getting back to why you should think about purchasing one of our insulated garden offices, it’s quite simple really, they are built so well, and to such a high standard, they become an investment.

Our highly insulated garden offices are with out doubt an investment due to their high build quality, and the ability to take them down and if need be move them to your next house, or sell them. And due to the high specification, we know that you will always get back, if not more than what you’re originally purchased it for.
