Glulam Doors and Windows
Glulam is an engineered wood product made from multiple layers of timber bonded together. It is stronger, more stable, and more durable than conventional solid wood, making it an excellent choice for log cabins. Glulam windows and doors offer superior insulation and heat retention, making them more energy‑efficient than PVC alternatives. They also provide a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Key Advantages of Twin‑Skin Log Cabins
- They offer a warm, energy‑efficient living environment.
- Installation and maintenance are straightforward.
- They are an excellent way to expand garden space and generate passive income.
- They create a comfortable, separate living area for guests.
- They are ideal for an Airbnb, home office, entertainment room, gym, hobby space, workshop, game room, cinema, spa, bar, art studio, recording studio, meditation or yoga room, library, or reading nook.
- They significantly increase property value, especially when equipped with a bathroom, as they become a fully functional living unit rather than just a garden office.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Twin‑skin log cabins with insulation are more energy‑efficient, reducing heating and cooling costs. They retain warmth in winter and keep heat out in summer, ensuring year‑round comfort. Insulated twin‑skin structures are also far more soundproof, reducing outside noise.
Security and Durability
Our windows and doors are made from joinery‑grade glulam timber, eliminating cold bridging. They feature a 5‑point multi‑locking system and CE‑certified 28 mm toughened double glazing, making them warmer, safer, and more secure.
Properly assembled insulated twin‑skin cabins are more durable and require less maintenance than single‑skin structures. Their enhanced appearance also increases property value.
Resistance and Longevity
Insulated twin‑skin log cabins:
- Use fewer resources during construction
- Are more fire‑resistant
- Resist rot, decay, and pests more effectively
- Can be treated with high‑quality protective materials to prevent insect damage and reduce fire risk
- Withstand wind, rain, snow, and ice more effectively
- Are more UV‑resistant, especially when coated with a satin‑finish yacht‑grade varnish (three coats last 15–20 years and remain flexible without cracking)
We can advise you on the best protective treatments to keep your cabin clean, safe, and resistant to mould and mildew.
Structural Safety
Insulated twin‑skin log cabins are naturally flexible structures, reducing the risk of seismic damage. Their ability to absorb movement makes them highly unlikely to collapse.
Passive Income Potential
Twin‑skin insulated log cabins are ideal for generating passive income through Airbnb or long‑term/short‑term rentals. Unique, well‑designed cabins are in high demand for weekend getaways throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
