Exclusive Norwegian supplierThe Norwegian Log Story: Sustainable, Beautiful and Made to Last
Imagine a sanctuary, a place where the rhythm of life slows, and the beauty of nature embraces you. At Norwegian Log, we craft homes and create dreams. Since 1984, we’ve provided superior sustainable Scandinavian homes. Built from enduring spruce, offering generations warmth and comfort, with exceptional energy efficiency.
Pioneers to Market Leaders
Founded as a family business in 1984, Norwegian Log brought to the UK high-specification, healthy Scandinavian homes built from one of nature’s finest renewable materials: Norwegian spruce trees.
Crafted using solid logs throughout, with the addition of modern cavity insulation, giving you a warm, cosy home which will last for generations. Your cabin home could be delivered within weeks fully-fitted.
Planning Permission Rarely Required
Our homes are designed to fit most gardens with minimal access requirements and without requiring planning permission if occupied by a family member.
We were the first in the UK to recognise the benefits of a transportable log home and prove they fall under the Caravan Act which allows you flexibility to site within your garden for a family member, on land for a rural worker’s dwelling, or as a holiday home.
Our Ethos: Built to Your Vision
With over 1,000 homes delivered, we continue our founding mission: delivering high-specification, bespoke log homes crafted to our customers’ exact requirements.
From the initial consultation to design, groundworks, installation, fitout and finishing touches, your cabin will be crafted entirely by our in-house team. The only step handled outside the UK is sourcing the slow-growing, strong and highly insulating Norwegian spruce logs—a task entrusted to our expert Norwegian forestry partner.
All Across the UK
Our customers are homeowners looking for more accommodation for themselves or family members. However, we also work with schools, holiday parks, charities, and public bodies to supply commercial log buildings.
At the heart of what we do is providing homeowners with the extra living space they need, whether it's a growing family seeking more bedrooms, individuals desiring a dedicated home office or hobby room, or those wanting comfortable accommodation for visiting relatives.
Your Needs Come First
Respecting your home life is central to our philosophy. We understand building can be intrusive, so our priority is to minimise disruption while crafting your bespoke log cabin.
Our meticulous planning and experienced team are dedicated to a seamless execution, allowing you to continue enjoying your home with barely a ripple. We take complete ownership of every aspect, from initial design and planning permissions through to final installation and finishing touches.
Sustainable and Energy Efficient
With rising energy costs, efficiency is key. Our Norwegian-designed log homes expertly combine solid log structures with advanced insulation.
This ensures optimal thermal regulation, maintaining a cool interior during summer months and a warm, inviting ambience throughout winter. The result is a significant reduction in running costs, providing unparalleled year-round comfort. Furthermore, our exclusive partnership with a leading Scandinavian manufacturer guarantees sustainable construction practices.
Where Do I Start?
We encourage you to draw inspiration and inform your decisions by exploring the narratives of other log home owners, accessible at your leisure from the comfort of your home.
Following this initial exploration, we warmly invite you to our Reading Showroom to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and inherent character of our log buildings in a tangible setting. Our commitment is to work collaboratively with you, providing tailored advice to determine the most suitable solution for your individual aspirations. We will guide you meticulously through every phase, ensuring the entire process integrates seamlessly with your schedule and respects your personal lifestyle.
It's warm and it's cosy; it's solid and it's quiet. The fragrance of pine reminds you of Scandinavian forests and summer evenings. Your imagination starts to take you places. You imagine a wood burner, perhaps a desk or why not just some space to think?
Our show home is 36 years old, yet customers still say it looks and feels brand new. That's the quality of our workmanship and the materials. When you step into a Norwegian Log building you're stepping into a feeling and just like our buildings it's one that will last.
