Since 1981, Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant has proven itself on thousands of chinked and chinkless style homes to become the most widely applied chinking in the world. It's simply the best chinking by every measure: longevity, appearance, performance and ease of application.
Perma-Chink is a flexible, textured chinking that seals the open gaps between logs to eliminate heat loss and air infiltration. Even though it looks and feels like traditional mortar, it's not. Perma-Chink is a pure acrylic that adheres to logs and stretches to maintain a tight seal by following log movement.
Like all of our products, Perma-Chink is easy to apply and comes backed by the support of our knowledgeable, friendly staff. When you use Perma-Chink, professional advice is never more than a phone call away.
Application can be done by the home-owner or a professional contractor. We stock a full line of application accessories or can refer a professional applicator in your area.
Consider a Follow Plate and a Refillable Caulk Gun when purchasing by the pail.
Use our Coverage Calculator to find out how much Perma-Chink you need for your project:
*To determine linear footage you need to simply add up the length, measured in feet, of all the joint lines that you will be sealing, or use multiplication if you have many seams of the same length. For example suppose one of your exterior walls is a rectangle shape, there are 16 joints and the wall is 20 feet wide, then you multiply these to get 320 linear feet of total joint length for that wall. For triangular or trapezoidal wall areas, you can measure the width at the ‘middle.’ Then you add up the total linear footage for all walls to get your total linear footage.
