I wanted to share our experience and express my gratitude for your incredible products and support.
Hi! My name is Brent Kriegel. We own a log home in Ruidoso, NM, which we purchased in September 2020. In July 2021, we fully restored the exterior—sandblasting off the old oil-based stain and using 100% Perma-Chink Systems products for Prep, Stain, and Energy Seal. The results were fantastic!
Ohio State University has been making headlines recently after winning the National Football Championship, and we’re excited to share another impressive accomplishment tied to the university. Wayne Bell and Log Home Care completed an outstanding restoration project on the iconic log structure located within OSU’s Gwynne Conservation Area.
Energy Seal™ is specially formulated for sealing narrow gaps in log home joinery such as butt joints, window trims, door trim and corners. These gaps should be no larger than one inch wide. Energy Seal contains a fine aggregate that gives it a texture which enables it to more closely match the texture of wood and accept a stain, so that it will blend in with the stained wall color if so desired. Although it can be used in wider joints, we typically recommend using Perma-Chink® Log Home Chinking for wide chink joints.
People are drawn to log homes for a variety of reasons:

We are excited to share a very unique project, something that could very be a first for this company - a log home interior of a van, sealed with Perma-Chink. Yes, a van as in the automobile variety.
This project is a fantastic example on the flexibility of our products, and the creative imagination of our customers. We'll turn over the background of the project to the customer, Barbara P., in their own words.
It’s difficult to ignore a log home; they possess a personality that always turns heads. Such natural good looks are part of their allure, but the attention they command extends to more than admiration. Log homes need regular maintenance to protect their beauty, performance and longevity. Fortunately, a few simple indicators will tell you exactly what your home needs (and when!). Here’s how to assess your logs’ status:
There is a common thought out there that believe topcoats are just the regular finish without color added. However, our topcoats are completely different than our finishes because they do different things.
Lifeline Acrylic Gloss and Satin (G/S) and Sure Shine™ Gloss and Satin are totally different formulations than Lifeline Interior or any other finish. Lifeline Interior, Lifeline Accents, and Prelude™ contain a polymer system that offer some distinct adhesion advantages when applied to bare wood. Topcoats are designed to envelope those finishes, protecting the color and wood from environmental damage and everyday living.
