Log Home Chinking and Log Home Caulking

Want a video showing how to chink and finish a log home?

Check out the videos. (in this 4 volume set only a small portion actually covers chinking...however it doesn't take much to get the point across.

Chinked Style log homes

are purposely built with a space between each course of log work. This space is filled with a backer rod and then chinking is applied both inside and out. Modern chinking has great adhesion and elastomeric (it's got good stretchability) properties, allowing it to expand and contract as the logs move.

Log home caulking is used to seal checks/cracks that may permit rain or insects to penetrate down into the log. Log caulking is also used around door and window openings, notched corners, and between log courses as a preventative measure to stop air infiltration. A wide range of colors allows you to match the color of log finish you use.
