Advancing the log home chinking industry further, Perma-Chink pushed the envelope by providing a synthetic chinking that offers more coverage compared to others on the market. A 5-gallon pail of Perma-Chink covers almost 400 linear feet of log gaps, nearly double of the closest competitor.

Some log home sealant brands may offer comparable coverage, but it comes at the expense of the applied thickness. A thick layer of sealant usually induces slumping, where the sealant cannot withstand its own weight. Too thin of sealant application will be tested by environmental exposure and log movement, resulting in blistering and adhesion issues.

Which Is The Best Value?

By the numbers, Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant is $0.77 per linear feet. Triple Stretch Chinking is $0.81 per linear feet at a very thin application thickness, and Log Jam is $1.66 per linear feet at a slightly thicker application thickness.  

When you compare the coverage amount at a dependable application thickness, Perma-Chink is the best log home sealant on the market based on cost per linear foot. Add in the superior quality of Perma-Chink and the exceptional performance, it is simply unmatched on the market. The advantage of using Perma-Chink is its design, as Perma-Chink is a thixotropic* sealant. It stays exactly where the applicator leaves it. 

*Thixotropic: Under shear, the compound decreases in viscosity. When pumped or squeeze-applied (shear) it flows as applied, and when the shear goes away the viscosity increases.
