The best choice of flooring for your log cabin

An important part of the design and construction of bespoke log cabins is choosing the right flooring.

Each option has its own merits, and many of the decisions for this part of outdoor huts and gazebos could depend on individual budget and tastes.

Hardwood flooring is often considered to be more expensive, but it is also hard-wearing, and will typically last much longer than other materials. It is often used for garden cabin rooms, as these can be used as residential structures, or those designed for hideaways for the family. 

As an alternative, soft wood floors in log cabins can offer a more affordable solution. Although these woods may not be as durable as some, they can offer many options in terms of colours and finishes. A structure such as a school cabin or garden office may benefit from these materials.

When log cabins are used as a space to play, record or listen to music, cork flooring could be the best choice. This material absorbs sound very effectively, along with the added benefit of being a comfortable surface to walk on. Some corks are very water resistant, too, so can be used in hot tub garden rooms.

For bespoke log cabin owners who want to ensure their building is as eco-friendly as possible, reclaimed wood is the ideal choice. This wood can look unique and quirky, and will complement those log cabins that are cosy and welcoming.
