Log Product Care

If you’re a log home owner, or are starting a new log home project, you know how much time and effort it takes to make your log home special.  With that in mind, the last thing you want to do is jeopardize your investment by using a low-grade sealant of finish coating.  In our 35 years as Rustic Rails, we’ve used countless wood protection products—we know which sealer products stand up to the test, and which ones fall short, leading to rot and decay.  Below are sealant and protective finish products that we recommend and provide to our customers.

Sikkens/ProLuxe

We carry Sikkens/ProLuxe wood finishes for exterior and interior uses.  Use these stains on any log product to protect and preserve the wood for years to come.  Get the specific look you want from the vast array of color choices.  Sikkens/ProLuxe stains offers features like High Solids, requiring fewer coats for optimum protection and premium look; Translucent Iron Oxide Pigments and UV Absorbers, a combination that gives you protection from graying and deterioration; Microporosity & Excellent Flexibility, minimizing blistering and cracking from expansion and contraction. plus moisture build up.

Sashco has a long history but our entrance into the log home industry got off to a great start when their first log home finishing product, Log Jam Chinking, was used on Disneyland’s Thunder Mnt. Ranch building. That was in 1986, and the original Log Jam Chinking is still performing beautifully.  This gives you an idea of how good Sascho's products are.  We carry their Log Builder Sealant, their Conceal Sealant, and Bor8 Cobra Rods.  Use these products to seal the in between edges of your Full Log Wall or Log Siding, protects against the elements and prevents moisture from seeping in between the logs and casing problems.

Perma-Chink

 

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.  Perma-Chink is a flexible, textured chinking that seals the open gaps between logs to eliminate heat loss and air infiltration. Even though it looks and feels like traditional mortar, it's not. Perma-Chink is a pure acrylic that adheres to logs and stretches to maintain a tight seal by following log movement.  Like all of Perma-Chink's products, Perma-Chink is easy to apply and comes backed by the support of our knowledgeable, friendly staff. When you use Perma-Chink, professional advice is never more than a phone call away.

Application can be done by the homeowner or a professional contractor. We stock a full line of application accessories or can refer a professional applicator in your area.
