When is a lodge not a mobile home? When it is a Treetops Lodge.

These are not mobile homes built to look like lodges.

They do not pretend to be log cabins made from 100mm timber frame walls, they do not have wheels. They do not move they have been built to full British Building Regulations on a brown field site. They are a permanent and solid construction. A log cabin combining old and new technologies in Cornwall. This is what makes Treetops unique.

All the lodges at Treetops are traditional, genuine log homes. Each one has been granted full planning permission and built on solid foundations.This new development offers for sale environmentally friendly Nordic Pine Lodges, constructed utilizing latest building techniques and built strictly to accord with current British Building Regulations.

All the logs are pre cut and numbered and lettered at the Honka factory, then built here at Treetops by local skilled craftsmen. Every care has been taken to build your lodge to the highest possible standard.

The lodges are supplied by Honka (Finland), a world leader in its field. They are one of the first house manufacturers in the world to receive ETA (European Technical Approval) and accordingly the right to use the CE mark. CE mark is an official symbol that indicates the building product directive set by the EU.

We at Treetops, have carefully chosen Honka lodges for their quality, and environmental ethics. After visiting their factory in Finland we are satisfied that in partnership with Honkarrenne of Finland, Treetops could offer the best lodges available on the market. This combined with our interests in sustainability and low carbon emission enables us to offer a product un-rivaled, at this present moment, in England.

The quality of your new lodge

Honka have supplied over 70,000 log homes worldwide in the last 50 years. They are one of the most experienced log manufacturers in Europe. Using advanced technologically and patented log components means that logs fit snuggly together and therefore heat will remain in your lodge giving you savings on your energy bills.

The walls are constructed of 210mm Nordic Pine; this has a much higher thermal insulation value than most other types of wood in the World.Each log is then individually insulated before being pegged together.

These lodges are used to existing in temperatures of -30°C with the extra insulation required by British Building Regulations; they will easily be able to handle the mild Cornish climate.

Treetops have crowned the lodges with the renowned high quality natural Camborne slate.

The interior of your lodge

Sandwiched between a Camborne Brazilian slate roof and the tongue and grooved pine ceiling is a condensation layer, a vapour barrier, breathable roofing felt, 100mm Kingspan insulation and another layer of T & G boarding, all helping to minimize heat loss and maintain low running costs.

Each lodge comes complete with a natural stone floor throughout. Slate as standard. The show lodges contain one slate and one limestone floor. These have been chosen to make full use of the benefits of the under floor heating system and are easy to keep clean.

Ground source heating uses renewable solar energy stored in the garden to run the central heating and hot water systems, replacing traditional fossil fuel boilers such as oil and gas. Heat Pumps work by heating the fabric of the building and then simply topping up any heat loss, which makes them very efficient. It has the added benefit of saving up to 70% of running costs over oil or LPG. Although relatively new to the UK, Heat Pumps are a proven technology pioneered by IVT in Sweden where 97% of all new houses are built with heat pump heating systems.

This will give an estimated cost of £120 - £150 for heating and hot water per year.

Your lodge comes with fully fitted modern bathroom with floor to ceiling wall tiles, all standard. The kitchen has been designed with many space saving devices, magic corners, ironing boards etc and comes complete as standard with grade A energy saving appliances.

New, 9 watt low energy halogen lighting is used throughout. The 2 bedroom contains 30 of these brushed brass recessed spots and the 3 bedroom lodge contains 36.

To make your lodge more personal to you, there are many options for you to choose from to allow you to customise your lodge to your liking.
