Keycraft Log Homes source and supply log homes in Nottingham, the Midlands and across the UK.
Larger log buildings are sources from Europe and smaller structures are supplied by Ludguard.
Keycraft Log Homes have a range of standard buildings as well offices and garden buildings and cabins. All designs can be adapted to personal taste and bespoke log homes can be produced to your specifications.
As building control in the UK differs from many other parts of the world
the main body of the building is sourced from abroad and other materials
such as doors, windows, roofing, insulation etc is sourced from the UK ensuring
that our buildings comply.
Don’t confuse our homes with ordinary “ log cabin” type
structures. The house walls are constructed entirely from solid beams manufactured
by laminating together strips of pine under intense (16 BAR) pressure to
produce the ultimate in strength, durability and longevity. Standard log
buildings use solid logs where the moisture is held in the centre of the
beam and very gradually dries out. The pressure that results causes the beam
to crack and warp, with obvious detrimental effects to the integrity of the
building. While this may be sufficient for temporary buildings, it is certainly
not acceptable for a permanent structure built to withstand the test of time.
Remember this method of construction has been developed to endure the extremes
of weather seen in Northern Europe.
Windows and doors are sourced from local manufacturers whether it be timber
or PVCu that you prefer. All windows and doors are housing grade and offer
a thermal grade c value.
The final look is a matter of taste. Internal or external wall finishes can
be added as required. The beam walls can be painted or left with a ‘natural’ look
to suit your preference and the local environment. Materials such as roofing
are also a matter of your own preference. We understand that if you are building
a home of your own, you want it to have the look and feel that suits you and
not to be dictated to by being forced to accept a manufacturers “bog
standard” appearance.
