Welcome to Scandinavian log cabins ...

jorntra log cabins

For years Swedish products have been a byword for style and quality. The same is true of their houses. For centuries the Swedes have been building warm comfortable houses in wood. For them building high quality homes is essential if they are to survive the long bitterly cold winters. The style is just in their nature, they just cannot help making terrific looking houses.

See the Jorntrahus being built at the Ideal Home Show 2011

Scandinavian Log Cabins Ltd are proud to supply cabins and houses made by Jorntrahus of Sweden. Jorntrahus are a family business who have been building log homes and log cabins in the far North of Sweden close to the Arctic circle for over eighty years.

Quality is at the heart of the Jorntrahus ethos from the quality of the materials, to the design of the cabin. Yet Jorntrahus log cabins from Scandinavian Log Cabins are surprisingly affordable. We keep our overheads low and pass on the savings direct to you.

Whether you are looking for a home office for your garden, extra accommodation for family members, a log cabin home, holiday cottages, a mobile home, or a commercial building you will find something to interest you on our site.

Our log cabins are freshly made to order using our advanced computer aided design system. Thanks to this we can quickly turn your ideas into plans to build your dream log cabin.
Some examples of the uses our cabins are put to are :-

  • Mr D of Wokingham bought a Tallbo 20 log cabin for use as a home office. With just floor and roof insulation it is warm enough to work in all year round saving having to rent an office at the local business centre.
  • Mr C of Stevenage bought a Tallbo 28 garden cabin for his grandparents to live in after they needed additional care not available from their local authority without having to sell their house.
  • Mr H of Derbyshire bought a Tallviken log house as a home for his growing family because a log home was cheaper than a conventional house, and far nicer to live in.
  • Dr E of North London bought a Tallbo 20W to house his brand new Hot-tub. Incorporating a sauna/changing room he can now be found most nights relaxing in the hot tub after a hard day wielding the scalpel.

Log cabins arrive in kits from Sweden which you can erect yourself if you are reasonably good at DIY, or we can arrange for it to be erected for you. For homes or commercial buildings we can offer full project management services.

VAT to be imposed on static caravans and mobile homes
In the recent budget the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced that from October 1st VAT at the standard rate of 20% is to be imposed on static caravans used as holiday accommodation. It is intended that mobile homes used as permanent living accommodation will remain zero rated, but it is not yet clear how to determine at the point of sale whether a mobile home should be zero rated, nor how it would affect a mobile home supplied as a kit.

The industry through its trade body the National Caravan Council is lobbying the government to reconsider the imposition of VAT, but so far without success.

So anyone wishing to buy a mobile home this year would be well advised to do so before October.
There is also a petition where people can register their protest at yet another tax increase.
