Log Home Sealants
Our flexible log home sealants create airtight seals that accommodate wood movement while resisting weather damage. Formulated for durability, these products maintain structural integrity and energy efficiency in log homes. Professional-grade solutions ensure long-lasting protection against moisture and temperature fluctuations.

The folks are what you want when you need information and great products. My exterior logs are begining to age with stress related cracks growing over time and some of the calking is degrading. As a do it yourself individual I needed to learn about the right products, how to do install them properly and what to "not" do. With their wealth of knowledge and process information I feel confident going forward with my project.

We are a builder/remodeler in Crossville and use this office often for our PermaChink needs. Ordering is easy, the sales staff is friendly and helpful and we receive our orders in a very timely manner.

Report
We recently used the Permachink Lifeline Accents Pickled White Stain on a new log cabin. The builder applied the first coat and it was so light you couldn't really tell that it was stained. We paid to have a second coat applied and now the entire exterior of our new log home looks like it has a pink hue to it. It is completely ruined and after paying 10,000 in labor an materials we are going to have to use another stain to cover it up.
The dealer I purchased from is going back to Permachink to see what can be done. I would advise anyone not to use this color if you are looking for a pickled white exterior. The interior version of this color seems ok.
