At Norwegian Log our log homes have an expansive range of benefits:
Simple maintenance: A log home needs very little maintenance. Internally, the log walls are maintenance free. The outside will simply require a coat of clear UV protection every 2-3 years to protect it and maintain the lustre of the log.
Easy to install: Because they are easy to install, they cause little disruption on site and your home will be ready for occupation quickly.
Energy efficient: All our log homes are made from natural, sustainable wood combined with modern cavity insulation, making them warm in winter, cool in summer and reducing running costs to a minimum.
This saves on energy costs throughout the year, with minimal maintenance required thanks to the immensely strong and durable construction from made to measure Northern Scandinavian Spruce rather than flimsy prefabricated panels.
Adds value to your home: A garden annex will add value to your home, and with our annexes designed to last a lifetime, it could prove to be the perfect long-term investment. If family circumstances change, an empty garden annex can quickly begin paying its way to increase your garden’s income potential. You can offer B&B rooms or provide a self-contained home in your garden for rental. Business use is subject to a different Planning regime, of course, so please consult a professional. When you’re looking to sell up, annexes are a popular way to stand out in the property market, with estate agents reporting that properties with an existing annexe are in high demand and tend to sell quickly.
Sustainability: All our logs come from northern Scandinavia, where re-planting to ensure sustainability is a legal requirement.
Strength unique to Scandinavian wood: Northern Scandinavia where the climate is cold means that trees grow very slowly. This results in a very strong, close-grained log giving a robust home.
Long lasting: Our log homes are made for life and built to last. They come with a full five-year warranty as standard which can be extended to 25 years and is backed by a comprehensive maintenance service.
Peace and quiet: Thanks to the same thermal mass that provides energy efficiency, you will be surprised with how quiet a log home is. Ideal to those wanting to relax and enjoy their home.
