Professional surface preparation for chinking and sealant systems designed to improve airtightness, prevent moisture intrusion, and protect your log home from environmental exposure.
Protecting Your Log Home from Air and Moisture
Log homes naturally expand and contract as temperature and humidity levels change throughout the year. Over time, this movement can cause existing chinking and sealants to crack, separate, or lose adhesion.
When gaps develop between logs, outside air and moisture can enter the structure. This can lead to reduced energy efficiency, interior drafts, moisture problems, and conditions that support mold or biological growth.
Proper preparation and sealing help maintain a tight, weather-resistant building envelope and improve the overall performance of the home.
Professional chinking and sealant systems help improve the airtightness of your log home, reducing drafts and improving energy efficiency. Properly sealed joints prevent moisture intrusion that can lead to wood deterioration, mold, or long-term structural issues. Modern flexible materials allow the system to move with the natural expansion and contraction of the logs, maintaining a consistent seal over time. When properly prepared and applied, chinking and sealants help protect the structure while improving indoor comfort and overall building performance.
