Most people have built or purchased their log home for the natural beauty and warmth of the wood. We can define weathered homes by their gray color and the cracks that often appear in the end of the exposed logs. These cracks are called checking. The two biggest problems faced by all wood structures are moisture and ultraviolet radiation. Time and the weather have a way of changing your home to a dark color. When exposed to sunlight and rain quickly weathers and turns gray.

At The Great Snake River Log Home Company, we use PERMA-CHINK products like SHELL-GUARD, GUARDIAN and ARMOR-GUARD to treat your home against fungal decay and wood destroying insects. These products are environmentally responsible borate solution which diffuses into green or dry wood. The main ingredient, sodium borate, disrupts the insects' metabolism and causes them to die. BORA CARE has no smell or color.

If your home has gaps between the logs, we can fill them with PERMA-CHINK, a flexible textured chinking and sealant that fills the open space between logs to eliminate heat loss and water infiltration.

After the logs have been cleaned and treated, and the cracks filled, we treat your home with PERMA-CHINK LIFELINE EXTERIOR. This new generation of high performance acrylic log home finish combines water repellents, mold inhibitors and sun screens to give your log home a renewed beauty and protection. Lifeline is available in six colors: clear - light natural - light honey - gentry gray - dark honey - dark natural.
