Bespoke Residential Log Cabins Our "Designer Range" of bespoke Log Cabins are manufactured by time served craftsmen in Slovakia. They have been manufacturing Residential Log Cabins for over 50 years and have many thousands of Timber Houses built throughout Europe. Timber for the Log Cabins The timber used is Central European Spruce, it is very different from the Spruce found in the UK because of the climate in which it is grown. These trees are from the Orava area of Slovakia and endure temperatures of minus 40 degrees in winter and plus 40 degrees in summer. Before the trees are felled, they are checked with a Giga Counter, which is to ensure that the timber is not contaminated with radiation. This has been our standard practice for the last 25 years because of the strict demands of the Germanic and Swedish markets. This was even before the disaster of Chernobyl, which caused widespread radiation contamination of trees, but not in the Orava area. The trees are only felled in the months of October, November and December because then the sap has stopped flowing in the tree. This timber will then provide a very stable and shrink free Log Cabin, also along with the natural beauty of the Central European Spruce. The Orava area has seen its trees used for house building for hundreds of years, but Orava is still an outstandingly beautiful area, this is because the area is managed by the people and replanting goes on constantly, it is their way of life. |
