Mountain Lodge house kits are made in
a log-house factory, a private family enterprise in Finland,
which employs the most up to date equipment and manufacturing
techniques. The company started operating in
1960 and from the beginning it has concentrated on the building of log
houses. The self-financed company belongs to the highest
credit-rating category in Finland. For this rating category they have
received an AAA diploma. This means added security to our customers. Our fully insulated double-glazed log homes/cabins comply with and surpass building control regulations. They are extremely efficient in terms of heat retention (warm in winter, cool in summer) and are therefore suitable for year round dwelling/work.As our solid log buildings meet the criteria for sustainable development, we believe that they represent a credible greener alternative to common construction methods. The log houses are normally built on pillar foundations and use of concrete and cement is minimal compared to a standard house. Apart from environmental issues, this also saves in construction costs, especially on a sloping site. New House Designs You are not limited to our stock plans; we can design anything you want and our plan service fee is 100% refundable with your package purchase from us. The latest manufacturing techniques mean that larger (and smaller) specially designed Mountain Lodge houses can be made to suit your own needs for size, shape and layout at the same highly competitive prices as the standard designs. If you give us a rough outline of the required floor space we can produce detailed plans for your custom-made Mountain Lodge. The flexibility of the Mountain Lodge systems means that the new cost of a new building would typically be in proportion to the floor space Solid Construction Mountain Lodge buildings are made from solid flat interlocking logs which are double tongue and grooved for a tight fit - they are all numbered and simply slot together to make up the walls of the building. The logs are made from slow growing pine trees from managed forests in the North of Finland. Inside you get high quality solid wood panelled doors, double glazed windows and pine flooring. Put in a wood burning stove and it’s all very cosy.
Self - build Easy to Assemble Due to the numbered log system Mountain Lodge houses are well within the scope of the do-it-yourself builder - most Mountain Lodges do not require any special lifting equipment. (A lorry with a hi-ab can be useful and a lot cheaper than hiring a crane) Each Mountain Lodge is supplied with full assembly instructions. We have built six log houses here at Muir of Ord and we are always available to advise you during construction if required Alternatively, a local joinery firm will have the carpentry skills necessary to build the kit.
Design Service We provide a full service for producing plans for planning permission and building warrant; SAP ratings, and SER certificates for new Mountain Lodge houses.
