Log Chinking Tips!

Applying Log Jam chinking on one of our cabins here at Montana Specialty Cabins!

We specialize in quality log cabins made from the high quality materials and over the years we have found a few tips and systems that really work well for us.

We utilize Sashco’s “Log Jam” chinking product.

Log chinking is important for any log home. Chinking fills the in-between gaps in log walls, and provides protection and insulation from the outside elements.

High quality log chink material stretches and compresses and stays elastic, minimizing the chances of premature cracking, peeling or pulling away from properly prepared home logs. It creates a tight seal on crevices that effectively prevents unwanted dust, wind, and moisture from seeping into the log cabin interior. It is generally recommended to apply a stain that is compatible with the material before filling in the log wall gaps.

Here we share a few tips that can make your experience MUCH more enjoyable as well as a better looking end product and extend the longevity of your log home.
