In 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.

"I used Perma-Chink on my log cabin in 1981 and it still serves its purpose. I am about to take in my front porch, so I need some more Perma-Chink. I'm glad you guys are still around."

" About two years ago I laid about 1200 sq.ft. of plank flooring in my house and decided to try your floor product Sure Shine. The wood species were mixed pine, spruce and sub alpine fir, which was very soft. It caused me to wonder if I would need to redo the floor within a year or two. So far it appears I will never have to redo even in areas of heavy traffic as the Sure Shine is holding up remarkably well. Thank you."

"Our log home was built in 1979 and four years ago we had to call back our dealer for help in replacing a few rotted logs (bad roof overhang design system). We had been using various sealents on the market over those near 20 years with no success. Our dealer, Matt Kinlock, introduced us to the product line of Permachink. We have been a believer in your product line since. We have used Energy Seal, Lifeline Exterior and Lifeline Advance.
Our house had never had the "chinking"; it just had the regular milled logs stacked with the spline, gasket and 2 beads of caulking. With Desert Tan Energy Seal and the Dark Honey Exterior stain, we have transformed our plain little house into a beauty. What a differnce your products have made!
We have been very happy with your products and have just ordered more of the Desert Tan Energy Seal to "chink" the inside of our milled log home"

"I am totally impressed with the service your staff provides to me and to our customers. Of the four manufacturers that Tennessee Log Homes distributes for, Perma-Chink Systems has the best support, hands down!"
Tom Kyker, Log Home Care Consultant, TN
"One constant we have been able to depend on during our building project was the Perma-Chink System products and service. We are particularly pleased with the clear, non-yellowing, protection of Sure Shine satin hardwood floor sealer. Our beautiful Cypress flooring shines through.
We continue to enjoy the color tone of the Lifeline Exterior wood finish in Dark Natural used on the logs. The protection provided by the Advance topcoat is proving to be essential in the Montana environment. The combination of the Lifeline Interior Light Natural wood finish and Acrylic Satin on the interior logs show off the skip peel character of the Lodgepole logs. We couldn't be more pleased with the color tones of our dream home. Finally, we highly recommend the use of Energy Seal sealant to keep the weather and bugs outside where they belong.
We are very satisfied with our decision to utilize Perma-Chink Systems products on our home. Not only now, but for future maintenance. We had the confidence to use the products knowing things were going to turn out right and as planned; easy use, clean-up and great results!
Thank you Perma-Chink, especially the Stevensville staff for all their help, tips and motivation."
The Glazners, MT
"Why I decided to use Perma-Chink on my log house...
I decided that I would pay the extra money to refinish our ten year old log home the right way, but I was not willing to spend money wihout making sure I would get the most for it.
When I visited Perma-Chinks web page I found they offered samples and decided that I would give them a try. I also found some samples at a local home supply store for another well known product for Log homes and another major paint/stain supplier with a good reputation.
Once received I followed the instructions given on the samples for all three companies. I treated sections of logs with all three products and let them sit for over a year, along with the rest of the wall untreated.
On the Perma-Chink test logs I first applied Wood ReNew, filled the checks and jonts with CheckMate 2 and then two coats of Lifeline Exterior stain on one log and one coat on the other. Once nice and dry I finished with two coats of Iifeline Advance on one log and one coat on the other, and walked away.
Now that the logs have been exposed through all four seasons I have inspected the work and decided on your product. Good product - The samples made it happen. Now the job begins."

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!!
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. Obviously, you’ll want to interview the contractors yourself to determine their reliability, reputation, and experience, as well as their procedures that best meet your individual needs.
