Log Cabins Distribution in the UK

July 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Log Cabins have been used as homes for millennia especially in the countries of the North where timber is plentiful and insulation necessary.  The simple concept of log cabins is both practical and fairly easy to produce.  Because the wall logs are not fixed to each other or to a frame, but rely on interlocking corner joints, the wood is allowed to expand and contract very readily and does so easily.  Timber is one of the best natural insulators and is of course very easy to work even with the most basic tools.  It is easy to see its attraction to home builders of the millennia!

Log cabins are usually made from the straight growing trunks of Spruce Trees.  Spruce is on of the most widely grown timber species on earth.  It has been said that it is possible to travel from the river Rhine to the Sea of Japan without ever leaving spruce forests.  Also there are vast areas of Spruce in the northern US and Canada.  In most countries Spruce is either farmed or very carefully controlled by governments who are increasingly aware of its value both as a natural resource and also as an implement in their on-going long term wealth creation and strategic development.  The Russian Government is especially careful and thoughtful about how its timber is to be used and sold and also that for every tree removed there must be at least two trees planted.  There are also cabins made from the more pink coloured wood of the pine tree.  Pine does tend to warp more readily over time and also have more knots in the wood which can potentially pop out as the timber expands and contracts.  

Probably the best know Log CAbin importer and Log Cabin Distributor is Gudrum Classics Ltd. This company has an internet presence through the web site  http://www.simplylogcabins.co.uk.  Importing a large range from its dedicated factories in Russia and Estonia as well as all the major brand manufacturers this company is probably better positioned than most to explain and discuss log cabin and the timber environment in eastern Europe and Russia.
The future for the Log Cabin industry would seem to be bright as more and more people look to make the best of the space that they have – often at the expense of moving to a larger property.

Gudrum are now offering a brand new and superb value range of cabins both to retail customers through http://www.simplylogcabins.co.uk and to the wider trade at simply unbeatable prices.  As one of the very few UK stockists of log cabins Gudrum are in a unique position to offer the best of service, along with excellent product and product knowledge as a support package to its existing and new trade customers.

Andrew Leadley of www.simplylogcabins.co.uk explains that over the past 5 – 10 years sales of garden buildings generally have shifted from the concept of the basic storage unit which is exemplified by a standard garden shed to people now wanting a unit that can offer multi-purpose use including being used as an extension to the living area or as an accessory to their businesses.  To contact Andrew – please call 0845 258 1900 or e. mail on info@gudrum.com
