color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Log home maintenance is something that is a continual project for most log homeowners. Typically, it is confined to reapplying log stains and applying a little caulking or chinking material. Log home maintenance does not have to be a headache if you set up a maintenance program. Below you will find some helpful tips for maintaining your log home.</span></p><ul class="liststyle" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Walk around the perimeter of your log home once a year.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Look to see if you have any new checks that need to be filled with caulking material.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Examine any high moisture areas for possible water damage. If rot is present use a wood restoration product to remedy the situation.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Look for any small holes created from wood boring insects. Check with Mountain Home Building Products in regards to fixing this type of problem.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Look to see whether your log stain is faded.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Lightly clean your wood before applying more stain material. The idea is to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the surface of your wood. The new stain material will only be as good as the surface that it adheres to.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">It is best to use the same stain that was originally applied to your log home. Switching stains is possible but make sure that the new stain is compatible with the old stain material.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Use a quality log home stain. I recommend a product called <a href="https://www.mountainhomebuildingproducts.com/collections/log-home-stain" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bc1d1f; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation; transition: color 0.1s linear 0s, border 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s, background-color 0.1s linear 0s;" title="Log Home Stains">Sustain Log Home Stain</a>. The better the stain material, the less maintenance your logs will require.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Log home stains should last about 3 years on the southern exposure of your log home and 4-5 years on the other sides of your home. The better surface preparation you do, the longer your log home stain will last.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Fill all checks and cracks that are a 1/4'' or greater. This will prevent any water or bugs from getting into your home.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: outside; padding: 0.2em; position: relative; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Look for any tears in your chinking. This material can happen from a poor initial application of chinking or excessive movement in your wood. Fixing the torn chinking can be as easy as re-applying more chinking material to the existing chinking. Most chinking materials adhere to themselves.</li></ul><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 1.333em;">In conclusion, the more you stay on top of your log home maintenance, the easier and cost-effective it will be.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px 0px 1.333em;">For more information about log home maintenance, chinking or log home stains contact <a href="https://www.mountainhomebuildingproducts.com/" id="link_79" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bc1d1f; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation; transition: color 0.1s linear 0s, border 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s, background-color 0.1s linear 0s;" title="Log Home Maintenance">Mountain Home Building Products</a> at 800-490-3695.

Remember you have to clean your interior logs using log wash from Permachink and a grout sponge. You will need a another bucket with clean water and a clean grout sponge to rinse the logs. Next you need to decide the width of your caulking bead. From there, the next decision is to choice backer rod or trap rod. If your bead is under an inch then you will apply Permachink Energy Seal product. If it is over an inch then you use the "thicker" Permachink product. Energy seal can be applied using a small paint brush and water spray bottle. Permachink should be applied and needs to be spread out using a cake icing spatula. I recommend starting, in a closet that has a log wall to begin your chinking. Practice out of site first. Try searching Youtube for different chinking styles. Call Western Log Home Restoration now if you have more questions. 888-231-2412Jon Ozbunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17457761467333787115noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22099036.post-36050506222854499422010-11-11T08:15:00.000-08:002015-04-05T14:52:03.673-07:00<br />

A little care and maintenance along with the use of quality products<br />
designed specifically for log homes will not only keep your<br />
home looking great but will also preserve the integrity of the<br />
logs and help prevent costly repairs. You can do no better than<br />
selecting any of Perma-Chink Systems Family of Environmen-<br />
tally Friendly Log Home Products.<br />
Lifeline Ultra-2 followed with a clear topcoat of Lifeline<br />
Advance Satin or Gloss combine to form the ultimate<br />
exterior finish system for your log home. Through many years<br />
of research, development and experience, Perma-Chink Systems<br />
has perfected waterborne finishes that provide the following<br />
benefits.<br />
1. Lifeline stains and topcoats provide the best-looking<br />
finish you can find. They distinguish your home by highlighting<br />
the grain and texture to bring out the natural beauty of your<br />
wood. Compare them to any finish you can find. Others have<br />
tried to copy the look and performance of Lifeline but never<br />
succeeded.<br />
2<br />
2. Lifelines high-performance polymers encase the<br />
wood fibers to protect the surface, where the protection<br />
is needed. Lifeline forms a flexible coating that expands<br />
and contracts to accommodate seasonal expansion and<br />
shrinking of the wood.<br />
3. Pigments and Ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors are<br />
important components for protecting wood. Although UV<br />
inhibitors help extend the life of the finish, it is the pigments<br />
that provide long-term protection against UV rays<br />
while highlighting the natural wood grain appearance.<br />
Both Lifeline Ultra-2 and Lifeline EXterior contain these<br />
necessary, valuable pigments.<br />
As the finish wears off, pigment weathers away at<br />
the same time. Then, as maintenance coats are applied,<br />
you avoid the build-up of pigment that occurs with conventional<br />
exterior finishes. The result - Your home still<br />
looks as good after years of maintenance as the first time<br />
you finished it. Conventional exterior finishes build up<br />
layer after layer of pigment on the wood, making your<br />
house darker each time you apply another maintenance<br />
coat. The Lifeline system gives you the choice during<br />
maintenance coats to use pigmented Lifeline and/or clear<br />
Lifeline Advance topcoats.<br />
4. All Lifeline stains breathe to allow the wood to<br />
dry naturally as they protect wood from absorbing moisture<br />
from rain, snow and humidity, which also helps to<br />
minimize checking.<br />
5. Lifeline finishes are easy to apply, release no toxic<br />
fumes, are not flammable and clean up easily with soap<br />
and water.<br />
How to Maintain Your Exterior Lifeline<br />
Finish?<br />
Initial application to your exterior is two coats of<br />
Lifeline EXterior or Lifeline Ultra-2, followed by one or<br />
two clear topcoats of Lifeline Advance Satin or Gloss<br />
protective finish. During inspection and cleaning evaluate<br />
the condition of the finish to determine if any areas of<br />
the home may need another coat of Lifeline Advance Satin<br />
or Gloss.<br />
After these applications of Lifeline, your exterior<br />
should require<br />

Making your log home look its best<br />Jon Ozbunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17457761467333787115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22099036.post-70321477879967476212009-03-15T12:18:00.000-07:002009-03-15T13:39:27.057-07:00log home restoration washingtonLog home and cabin maintenance does not have to be a headache if you set up a routine maintenance program. Log home and cabin owners should consider the maintenance on their log home to be a continual project. Use log wash to clean your home bi-annually. Re-applying log stains and applying a little caulking or chinking every couple of years is an absolute necessity for most log home and cabin owners. Below you will find some tips for maintaining your log home.<br /><br />1. Walk around the perimeter of your log home once a year. Take pictures to compare changes over the years. Keep plants 18 inches away from house. Keep fire wood as far away as possible.<br />2. Look to see if you have any new checks that need to be filled with caulking / chinking material. Only Checks 1/4 or larger should be filled. They should only be filled on the top half of the log.<br />3. Examine any high moisture areas for possible water damage. If rot is present use a wood restoration product to remedy the situation. Purchase a moisture meter to monitor your logs. Moisture above 20 percent is a problem area.<br />4. Look for any small holes created from wood boring insects. If you remove old stain apply borate on the logs before restaining. A product called "Home guard" is good to apply once a year.<br />5. Look to see whether your log stain is faded or peeling. Is the stain becoming grey from UV damage? Darken wood could mean it is drawing in too much water or that mold is forming. Either case the stain has failed.<br />6. Clean your wood before applying more stain material. The idea is to remove any dirt, dust or debris from the surface of your wood. The new stain material will only be as good as the surface that it adheres to.<br />7.Permachink Ultra II stain is the best stain to apply to well prepared logs. Walnut shell media blasting with follow up sanding is the best way to remove old stain.<br />8. Use a quality log home stain. Permachink Ultra II stain has a five year warranty unlike any other stain on the market.<br />9. The better surface preparation you do, the longer your log home stain will last.<br />10. Fill all checks and cracks that are a 1/4″ or greater. This will prevent any water or bugs from getting in your home.<br />11. Look for any tears in your chinking. This material can happen from a poor initial application of chinking or excessive movement in your wood. Fixing the torn chinking can be as easy as re-applying more chinking material to the existing chinking. Most chinking materials adhere to themselves.Jon Ozbunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17457761467333787115noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22099036.post-1165538808448516382006-12-07T16:45:00.000-08:002015-04-05T14:56:58.708-07:00Log home services providedOur Services<br />
