Log Sealants
BACKER ROD: Extruded Closed-Cell Polyethylene Rod
An inexpensive, yet effective “backing”, commonly referred to as Backer Rod. Backer Rod is an extruded, chemically inert, closed cell polyethylene “rope” designed to effectively fill in the gaps between logs prior to the application of Perma-Chink or Energy Seal.
GRIP STRIP: Extruded Closed-Cell Polyethylene
Grip Strip is a closed-cell product. Under normal use, it will not cause outgassing. It’s unique design provides an excellent fit and surface within the chink joint. This results in a savings in material used.
CHECK MATE 2: Check Filler/Sealer
Check Mate 2 is an outstanding water resistant sealant that prevents water and air infiltration through pronounced cracks (called checks) in logs, timbers and wood siding. Caulking is an obvious solution to this problem, but caulking does not work because of limits in adhesion and weatherability.
CHINK-PAINT: Paint for Chinking
Chink-Paint is an elastomeric, textured coating for renewing or changing the color of chinking. This makes it ideal for giving a facelift to your home by brightening the appearance of old, dirty chinking or altering the color of existing chinking.
ENERGY SEAL: Log Home Sealant for Milled and Scribed Log Homes
Since it was introduced, Energy Seal has become one of the most popular members of our sealants. Energy Seal, was created specifically to seal milled or scribed log homes. One application makes any log wall completely weather-tight.
PERMA-CHINK: Log Home Sealant
Since 1981, Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant has proven itself on thousands of chinked and chinkless style homes to become the most widely applied chinking in the world. It’s simply the best chinking by every measure: longevity, appearance, performance and ease of application.
QSL SEAL: QSL Caulking
Superior flexibility and elongation makes long-lasting QSL the premium caulk available for the construction industry.
QSL is a multipurpose caulk with the performance of a high quality ASTM 230C standard.
SHELL-GUARD RTU: Ready-To-Use Wood Preservative
Shell-Guard RTU is a ready-to-use borate-based formulation that contains the same active ingredient and glycol carriers that have proven so successful in Shell-Guard Concentrate.
SHELL-GUARD: Termiticide, Insecticide, Fungicide
Shell-Guard provides the ultimate protection against insects and wood rot for your log home. This new generation of preservative combines the well-known effectiveness of borates with a glycol system that increases the penetration into the wood to enhance the action of the borate.
WOODSMAN: A Waterborne Sealant for Use During Log Stacking
Woodsman is an internal sealant and adhesive that is applied between logs during construction. With better stretch and adhesion than other sealants, Woodsman is ideal for providing a long-lasting barrier against insects, air and water infiltration between the logs.
