Year-round use of summer houses

Many people have summer houses they use during the warmer months of the year. However, it is possible to use a garden cabin room year-round with some minor adjustments. 

Utilising the space of these log cabins throughout the year not only gives you extra space to entertain, but it will also maximise your investment. Adding double glazed windows to outdoor huts and gazebos used as summer houses will protect them from draughts as well as any leaks caused by rain and snow. They will also keep the space warm, even on the coldest days. 

The addition of a sturdy door with double glazing will enhance the feeling of protection and warmth.

There are more affordable ways to keep these bespoke log cabins cosy and snug throughout the seasons. Adding thick wool rugs to the floor or even hanging them on the walls will reduce chilly breezes, with the benefit of adding texture and comfort to the space. 

Heavier curtains at the windows will give insulation properties to the interior and can create a sense of luxury and warmth.

Increasing and supplementing any insulation in log cabins used as summer houses will drastically increase the heat retained inside. Cavities and gaps in the planks of wood, doors and windows can be blocked using a variety of materials.
