Proven interlocking system

Proven interlocking system

Norwegian Log's precision-cut interlocking system produces strong, rigid, draught-free buildings.

 

Materials and technologies proven in the depths of the Norwegian winter.

Strong, blond... typically Nordic.

Norwegian Log's cabins, lodges and other buildings are made from prime European Spruce, harvested from responsibly managed forests in Scandinavia.. The trees grow slowly in the severe Scandinavian climate and then mature for decades to give fine grained logs. The wood is so light-coloured and attractive that decorative staining isn't needed, although it is available as an option if you wish.

Specially treated for long life.

Our logs are kiln dried to provide a very low moisture content and then treated with a preservative stain on site.

Shaped interlocking, machined the Norwegian way.

With centuries of experience and tradition behind them - some log buildings in Norway are more than 1,000 years old - the Norwegians know more than most about getting the best from their timber. We use 75 mm (3 inches) solid log and 125 mm (5 inches) laminated log, both of which provide strength and good insulating properties. A twin-log system giving the benefits of cavity walling is also available.

The other secret of high-performance log buildings is the jointing method. Norwegian Log buildings have fully interlocking joints for strength and draught-free comfort. The joints are precision-cut to very close tolerances by computer-controlled machinery for consistent accuracy and fit.

Packaged in the Norwegian factory, your building arrives on site clean and ready for 'right-first-time' erection. It saves time and trouble, and that means lower costs. All residential and commercial buildings are built to comply with Building Regulations specification.

Ideal for swimming and hydrotherapy pools.

Norwegian Log buildings make ideal pool enclosures, whether you are building from new or enclosing an existing pool. The high level of natural insulation helps keep the buildings warm in winter and cool in summer. This saves energy costs and makes the pools more attractive. The insulation also helps to minimise condensation, which saves on maintenance costs and makes the pool area much more comfortable. The pool environment is warm and welcoming, and free from the echo that can be so irritating in ordinary buildings with 'hard' surfaces.

Special design service.

Norwegian Log's standard designs have evolved over the years to give a range of buildings suitable for most clients and applications. However, our design service is available at a reasonable extra cost should you prefer a bespoke Norwegian Log solution.

Disabled access.

Norwegian Log has long experience of designing buildings to facilitate disabled access - a process made easier by the log construction method. Simply contact us to discuss your needs so we can incorporate any necessary modifications to your building.
