Resource Library

Log homes rarely remain in the same condition year after year. Finishes age. Wood moves. Small maintenance issues can turn into tedious projects when neglect occurs.

Our archive grants access to practical information. Inside, you will find articles, videos, and technical resources. Each covers a wide range of maintenance and restoration topics.

Why Homeowners Turn to Perma-Chink Systems

There is no shortage of information online. The hard part is knowing which advice actually applies to a log home. Perma-Chink Systems has worked exclusively with log and timber structures since 1981.

That focus shows up throughout this library. Articles can provide a strong starting point, but some projects require answers that are specific to the home, the condition of the wood, or the products being used.

That is why support remains a big part of the company. With seven locations across the country and customer service teams available across multiple time zones, help is available when a project raises questions that an article cannot answer.

More Than Product Information

Successful projects often depend on the details. That may or may not have anything to do with the product. Surface conditions, weather exposure, and application methods all influence the final result.

That is why the library covers a wide range of topics beyond product specifications. Visitors can browse Tech Tips, instructional videos, project features, and contractor resources developed specifically for log and timber structures.

Perma-Chink Systems has worked exclusively within the log home industry for over 40 years. The goal of these resources is simple. Provide practical information that homeowners and contractors need. Have questions concerning a DIY project? Call us for more information.
