Log Profiles

All our log homes/cabins are made of solid logs. This slow growing, ring dense Scandinavian pine is known world wide for its strength, durability and superior natural thermal insulation as excellent raw material for log buildings.

LogHomeScotland’s round logs have an unusual oval profile, which keeps the looks/feel of a round log house, but is warmer in fact than a round log house.

We offer two different log profiles – square logs and round logs (Oval).

Round logs (Oval):
150 mm (height 134mm)
175 mm (height 150mm)
195 mm (height 176mm)

Square logs:
70 mm (height 133mm)
92 mm (height 160mm)
118 mm (height 180mm)
142 mm (height 180mm)
165 mm (height 180mm)
200 to 230mm (Hand peeled/hand crafted)

Laminated square logs:
88 mm
113 mm
134 mm
165 mm

Inside insulation for a square profile Log house is ‘sandwiched’ between external log wall & internal matching log profile panel in a way that is nearly impossible to notice that the house is insulated, appearing as single solid log inside & out. Insulating round log house is more complicated, more labour intensive (more expensive) especially when the internal log profile has to mirror/copy round log profile (D-profile panel).

It is also possible to build double-wall (twin wall) log house. Insulation is between two log walls resulting in a super strong & warmer log house. This option is more suitable for much colder climates than our gulf stream moderated Scottish weather. Nonetheless the choice is yours.

Our logs are kiln-dried to humidity of 20% (+/- 2%) This increases structural stability and enables occupancy immediately after construction.
