Adding an extra window to your log cabin

Hortons UK Log Cabins can upgrade your existing log cabin in numerous ways. One of the simplest is adding an extra window to your log cabin. Whether that is to get a better view or to introduce extra light into the cabin (or replace).

This customer sent us a photo of her existing log cabin which didn’t get any morning sun. Therefore she asked us to add an extra window so her studio could benefit from this extra light. You can see where there was a picture hanging on the wall which was the required size and position for the new window….

As you can see, this enhances both the external look of the cabin and also the internal space which now looks much lighter. Adding an extra window to your log cabin is not expensive and is relatively quick and easy to do. After a couple of hours, the job is complete (this job in the photos above took about 1 hour).

Options for new cabin windows and doors

We can also add uPVC joinery to your existing log cabin, all shapes, designs and sizes of doors and windows. Beware of double glazing companies saying they can just insert new or replacement timber or uPVC windows and doors into your log cabin! They are almost certainly not aware of the movement and settlement cycle of a log cabin – not allowing for this will cause all sorts of problems with your cabin (gaps in wall logs, gaps around the windows and doors, leaking walls, etc).
