Insulating log cabins and garden office buildings

To make your Log cabin comfortable throughout the seasons it is recommended that you insulate the roof and floor which accounts for 70% of the heat loss from your log cabin.

I already have a garden office and would like it insulated. Do Cabin Living offer an insulation service for an existing garden cabin?

Yes, our insulation service is available for all customers looking to upgrade existing garden cabins.

We can insulate every garden cabin in our product range. Pricing for wall and floor insulation is shown in the guide prices on every product page. Prices are based on surface area using 50mm Celotex of Kingspan insulation in the ceiling and floor.

Celotex or Kingspan insulation - ideal for creating a well insulated Garden Office.

Clearly choosing a garden office with double glazing and a wall thickness of at least 34mm will also improve the thermal performance that is why our garden office range is focussed on log cabins of at least this wall thickness.

Ceiling insulation

We are unique in offering Garden office insulation to our entire product range. We use 50mm Celotex or Kingspan insulation and use either the cold roof or warm roof system.

Typically the insulation is fixed above the standard tongue and groove roof in a 50mm x 50mm stud frame and finished with sterling board prior to the final roof covering. This provides a natural wood finished ceiling internally with all the benefits of keeping the cabin cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter.

Alternatively we can fit timber or plasterboard between the roof joists as shown below.

Floor insulation

For year round use as a garden office the floor insulation we recommend is 50mm thick celotex or kingspan insulation underneath either a laminate floor or alternatively 18mm plywood, ideal for carpet tiles etc.
