What timber is used and how is the timber in the log chalet range treated?
A. All the timbers are Scandinavian Pine, with a low knot count and slow grown to give a close grain. The timber is kiln dried to prevent warping, and then wrapped to prevent re-introduction of moisture. It is important that the log cabins are treated with a high grade preservative immediately following installation, with a second coat within 7 days. We only recommend the use of Sadolin Classic preservative, as it is a spirit based treatment which migrates deeply into the timber, but is breathable to allow a healthy environment for the timber.
