The Claudia uses 44mm Nordic spruce interlocking logs with a chalet-cut profile. This cut creates a tighter overlap between each log course which reduces wind and rain penetration compared to a standard flat-cut log.

All eight windows and the double doors are double glazed with real glass and fitted with rubber seals to cut draughts. The laminated door frame resists warping through seasonal temperature changes. Roof covering is not included and must be chosen separately from felt shingles, SBS torch-on felt or underlay options.
