Our external cladding system has been developed over a number of years to meet the particular requirements of the Scottish climate.  Used in conjunction with our interlocking log systems the composite wall construction retains the "breathing wall" capabilities of single log while enabling us to meet the highest insulation requirements.

By positioning the insulation on the outside of the log walls we reduce thermal stresses on the main load bearing structure.  The cladding system also provides an opportunity to incorporate gaskets and flashings to meet the demands of even the most severely exposed sites.

A lightweight non-loadbearing frame is fixed to the log structure using specially manufactured brackets.  The space between the studs is filled with insulation and a breather membrane attached to the frame.  A vented cavity behind the external cladding log provides additional weather protection.

The system has been developed to allow the use of a variety of insulating materials, from rigid boards to blown cavity fill, giving us the flexibility to meet not only current, but also future standards required by Building Regulations.

Where projects involve the extension or conversion of existing log structures the system can be adapted to provide additional insulation and weather protection to the original walls.   As the system is fitted externally internal disruption is kept to a minimum and existing room sizes are maintained.
