Why Others Tell Us They Love the Kilburn

The Kilburn is certain to stand out in your garden and boasts an exterior appearance that is unlike any other log cabin. Compared to the more conventional roof styles you will find on other log cabins, the Kilburn is a truly unique offering with its distinctive curved roof. This adds a stylish and contemporary touch to this elegant cabin as well as generous amounts of extra headroom when inside. With three opening windows and ¾ glazed double doors all in attractive, Georgian style design, loads of natural light can flood into your cabin making the interior a bright and open feeling space. Generous headroom adds to the spacious and open feel, with thick roof beams and quality skirting boards making spending time inside the Kilburn a real pleasure. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their log cabins, which look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours.

Whether you prefer bold, bright colours or more subtle, natural wood tones, Protek really do have a paint to suit any taste.

Features

A Shire Log Cabin is built to last, and the Kilburn is no exception. Shire uses 4-way corner joints and interlocking logs of the highest quality as standard. This ensures that you’ll be impressed by the strength, stability and sturdy feel of the Kilburn Log Cabin. With the Shire draught seal system that is fitted on all external windows and doors, you can be sure you will be snug in your log cabin. The Kilburn is made from logs that are 28mm in thickness. Our customers often choose to use our bespoke service to upgrade to a thicker wall log, (available in 34mm, 44mm and 70mm) if they would like a cabin with extra insulation for an all-year-round cosier feel. Opting for optional toughened glass or double glazing on the windows and doors is another great way to improve the cosy feel of the interior. Quality insulation using Celotex is also available as an optional extra so you can make the most of your log cabin whatever the weather. At the time of assembly, you can choose which side you would like the windows, giving you extra flexibility to adapt the log cabin to your garden. You can also purchase and construct your log cabin in the confidence that all Shire Log Cabins can be dismantled and rebuilt should you ever decide to move. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your log cabin quickly and correctly. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive instructions included with the log cabin and construct it yourself.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber log cabin starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your log cabin. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's log cabins is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on log cabins. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

Base

It is important that the base for your log cabin is firm and level. You can request 'Guidelines for Preparing a Concrete Base' through our 'Contact Us' Section.
