productsIn 1981 Perma-Chink Systems (PCS) introduced flexible chinking to the log home industry to replace what was the standard at the time - concrete mortar. This revolutionary product, Perma-Chink Log Home Chinking, looked like authentic mortar but stretched and flexed to accommodate log movement while maintaining a tight seal for the life of the house.

Although PCS is the largest manufacturer of log home chinking and sealants, we make a complete line of quality wood care products. Wood Finishes, Wood Preservatives, Wood Cleaners and Restoration Products all are Made in the U.S.A. 

Perma-Chink Systems is the log home building industry's trusted partner for the tightest, greenest, and most impeccably finished log homes in the world.

What do Microsoft, Volvo, and Visa have in common? Their names are synonymous with innovation, safety, and trust. Add to that list, Perma-Chink Systems, Inc., because when it comes to protecting log homes with innovative, safe, and trustworthy products, no name is more frequently called to mind.

What began in 1981 as a simple idea – replacing the rigid concrete-mortar sealant with a flexible chinking material that moves with a log home as it settled – revolutionized the entire log home industry. This product, Perma-Chink Log Home Chinking, looked like traditional mortar but accommodated continuous log movement...

What began with one revolutionary product has led to an entire Family of revolutionary products

In 1981, Perma-Chink Systems, Inc. introduced flexible chinking to the log home industry to replace what was the standard at the time - concrete mortar and painted splines. This revolutionary product, Perma-Chink Log Home Chinking, looked like authentic mortar but stretched and flexed to accommodate log movement while maintaining a tight seal for the life of the house.

Practically overnight, Perma-Chink Systems had forever changed the way log home owners would think about sealing their log homes.

PERMA-CHINK SYSTEMS, Inc. has developed a complete line of specialized sealers, wood stains, finishes, preservatives and cleaners made for the unique needs of log homes. From primary wood treatments applied immediately after logs are peeled to restoration products for older homes, we offer everything needed to seal, protect and beautify any log home.

What's more, log home products are our only business. We clearly understand the unique needs of the log home and the desires of log home owners. Our products work together, are easy to apply, clean up with just soap and water and are environmentally friendly.

We offer a wide range of products with timely delivery directly to your doorstep. But products aren't all we provide. As the Log Home Authority,ª we've helped thousands of homeowners and contractors through every phase of every kind of log home project.

One call to our Log Home Authority line, will provide you with professional guidance on any project, be it preservation, sealing, finishing or restoration.

After you've had a chance to study the products we offer, feel free to call with any questions or to place your order. Our lines are open Monday through Friday. We accept most major credit cards and ship within 24 hours.

Revolutionary products. Time-tested quality. Professional guidance. These are the reasons PERMA-CHINK SYSTEMS, INC. has become the industry leader in log home preservation products.

Customer Testimony

I'm a log homeowner who stands behind Perma-Chink's chinking, Lifeline stains, Advance topcoat, Log End Seal, Energy Seal, and every other product offered. My logs are hand-hewed with the original style chinking so we used I think 25 pails of chinking and none of it has failed. The chinking is tops, stain is very durable and easy to apply. The entire staff at Perma-Chink Systems always goes the extra mile when I call and ask questions or for advice. Perma-Chink has the best customer service of any company period in all types of industries I interact with. Unbelievable!!

Find A Contractor

We offer an extensive referral list of log home contractors from coast to coast. Most of these contractors are self-employed and none are affiliated with Perma-Chink Systems, but they do have both experience and training in using our products on log and timber homes. Many of the contractors we've worked with for years, and we continually review our referral list to provide our customers with the best available log home contractors.
