One way to make log cabins feel warm and cosy is to add a fireplace to your home away from home.
Not only do these create a cosy focal point internally, but they will also help keep the rooms toasty without using mains gas or electricity. Even outdoor huts and gazebos with limited space can accommodate a fireplace.
Usually, a timber frame for the fireplace is constructed with softer woods like pine or fir. Once this is completed, it is important to add a slab of bricks or concrete over the top. Following this, hearthstones can then be installed.
Each gap must be filled with mortar, and it is generally advisable to have each stone slightly overlapping. A flue liner can then be inserted, along with additional support from spare stones at the sides of the fireplace. These also add a pleasing decorative flair.
A garden cabin room with a fireplace also makes for an energy efficient space which can, in the long term, become an affordable method of keeping the structure warm. When renewable sources of fuel such as wood are used, log cabins can contribute to a greener environment.
Keeping fireplaces clean and tidy is imperative. This will help keep the interior looking clean and tidy, as well as reducing safety risks, so that no sparks or stray embers cause any damage. Regular checks of the chimney to dislodge any obstructions should be performed regularly.
