Log cabins and sustainable building materials

  • 9 Aug 2023

There are many reasons to use sustainable building materials when constructing log cabins. For example, when the wooden planks are locally sourced, the overall carbon footprint of the garden cabin room is reduced. Usually, the wood used for these structures contains high levels of carbon; this means that the carbon stored in these could cancel out the carbon emissions of less effectively fabricated local buildings.

The localisation of the production and preparation of this wood has a positive impact on the nearby economy. This increases the creation and access of good quality jobs and ensures that the money spent on materials is done so in community enterprises.

Because of the durability of sustainable woods, there is less likelihood of the need for repeated repairs and maintenance. This means that the garden cabin room can remain free from renovation materials, which may not be as eco-friendly as the original building materials.

When good quality wood is used in the construction of bbq cabins, the building becomes much more insulated than normal. This will not only be cheaper for the owner to live or work there, but also means that less energy will be used to heat or cool down the cabin; the impact of greenhouse gasses is reduced.

It has been shown that people living or working in wood-built outdoor huts and gazebos are less stressed and feel that their productivity is increased, as well as their creativity. 

Let our team at Logspan tell you about our sustainable materials; contact us today to learn more.
