Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant - Stretching Value Around Log Homes

When Perma-Chink log home chinking arrived on the log home scene over forty years ago, it revolutionized the industry in the best way possible. We developed a log home sealant that replaced and outperformed traditional mortar chinking.

Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant stretches with log movement and is vastly more flexible than the cement-based chinking of old. When log home builders and owners want the best log home chinking, what they really want is the best log home sealant: Perma-Chink.

Advancing the log home chinking industry further, Perma-Chink pushed the envelope by providing a synthetic chinking that offers more coverage compared to others on the market. 

Some log home sealant brands may offer comparable coverage, but it comes at the expense of the applied thickness.

A thick layer of sealant usually induces slumping, where the sealant cannot withstand its own weight. Too thin of sealant application will be tested by environmental exposure and log movement, resulting in blistering and adhesion issues.

Which Is The Best Value?

By the numbers, Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant is $1.14 per linear foot. Triple Stretch Chinking is $0.90 per linear foot at a very thin application thickness, and Log Jam is $1.66 per linear foot at a slightly thicker application thickness.  

When you compare the coverage amount at a dependable application thickness, Perma-Chink is the best log home sealant on the market based on cost per linear foot.

Add in the superior quality of Perma-Chink and the exceptional performance on homes for 40 years and beyond, it is simply unmatched on the market. The advantage of using Perma-Chink is its fundamental design, as Perma-Chink is a thixotropic* sealant. It stays exactly where the applicator leaves it. 

*Thixotropic: Under shear, the compound decreases in viscosity. When pumped or squeeze-applied (shear) it flows as applied, and when the shear goes away the viscosity increases.

In addition, Perma-Chink is part of our whole-home system, designed to work in concert with our finishes and topcoats to make a beautiful log home last for generations.

Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant is also backed by a 10-year Limited Warranty!
