Lodgico – The real alternative

IF you want to find out just what Lodgico can offer, tune in to the cable channel UKTV Home next month. The company is currently building a large log cabin bungalow in Tiverton in Devon that will be featured on a new programme, My Flatpack Home.

It’s a perfect example of one aspect of Lodgico’s wide range of expertise that extends from picnic benches, garden cabins and al fresco grill houses to mobile homes, ‘bungalodges’ and two storey log homes.

The company has supplied local authorities with children’s centres, provided nursery buildings for schools, raised residential properties, and even constructed a home for Capuchin moneys at Monkey World in Dorset!

And it prides itself on providing a one-stop service – from building design, through planning, building control, construction and even furnishings.

Warm but cool

One of the company’s specialities is producing mobile log cabins built from solid log kits imported from Finland.

The homes are manufactured from the best quality Finnish softwood and are available in round log or laminated flat log styles. Solid logs breathe, filtering air and creating a better atmosphere in the building – a situation that is proven to benefit asthma sufferers, for instance.

No only that, they also control humidity within a building, keeping it within limits known to be optimal for living.

And solid log has a thermal mass that means it is a better insulator, keeping the home warm in winter and cool in summer.
