Sashco chinking at Log Home Depot

Product Description
Sashco Log Jam chinking is "the stuff that goes between the logs" on many log homes, including those built by Golden Log Homes and many other fine home builders. It's more than just a pretty look -- chinking acts as a form of insulation and as a barrier to the nasty elements outside. It keeps the weather outside and the comfort of your home inside. sashco_swatches

Traditional chinkings are brittle, mortar-like substances. They often crack, break and pull away from logs. They, and many other chinkings available, can't absorb the movement all log homes endure. Logs shrink and swell with temperature changes, humidity changes and aging. When any chinking fails, wind and water may seep into your home. Log Jam keeps your home tightly sealed.

Log Jam chinking is the right fit: it fits your needs: it's formulated for superior adhesion to High Sierra Stain and most other log stains and sealants. That includes Sashco wood preservatives, sealants and finishing products (see below).

Advantages
•Stays Elastic
Log Jam is the elastic chinking that simply responds better to log movements than other chinkings. Since all logs move, this elasticity allows Log Jam to handle any log movement, in any type of weather, over and over again. It stretches and compresses as logs shrink and swell -- up to 100% of the original joint size. Yet it maintains the traditional look of mortar, without "stretching out," so it still looks good after years of log movement.
•Fire Retardance
Log Jam is the only chinking to hold a UL 1-hour fire rating. So Log Jam helps prevent fires from spreading among rooms, giving your family more time to get away from smoke and flames. With Log Jam between your logs, your home is safer, longer.
•Easy to Apply and Clean Up
Log Jam is a water-based chinking so it's easier to apply: it guns out easily and tools smoothly with water. Cleans up with just water. And it's safe for humans, animals and the environment. Plus, it meets tough government regulations so it can be used anywhere in the U.S.
•Textured to look like mortar
Your finished project will have the excellent insulation and adhesion characteristics of this state-of-the-art chinking but with the beauty of traditional mortar.
•Fully Warranted
When applied in accordance with Sashco's Log Jam Data:Tec (LJC-002), Sashco Sealants warrants Log Jam for the following performance requirements for a total of five years:
• Adhesion: Log Jam will not pull away from log surfaces when a compatible stain is used.
• Elasticity: Log Jam will remain elastic and will not tear, up to 100% total joint movement.
• If Log Jam fails to perform as specified above, Sashco Sealants will supply new Log Jam to repair the defective joint areas. This warranty includes product replacement only. No other warranties are expressed or implied. Warranty is made through Sashco Sealants directly; the Log Home Depot is not liable for any warranty claims.

Sashco Sealants developed Log Jam® chinking realizing that many other forms of traditional mortar or chink fails to do its job: protect your home. With Log Jam, you should only have to chink once.
