Backer
Rod
Backer Rod is a foam material used to fill large checks and gaps
between logs. It also provides support for chinking and sealants. Its
primary purpose is act as a "bond-breaker" and promote two-point
adhesion (see diagram), giving the joint and sealing material the ability
to compress and expand as logs move. Sealants and chinking do not adhere
to the backer rod—only to the log surfaces of the joint—allowing
for movement without damaging the sealing material.
Sashco
distributes a number of types and profiles of backer rod including the
Grip StripTM and Half Rod. You
should select backer rod based upon your particular needs. Open-cell type
is recommended to speed drying. A closed-cell type is more moisture resistant.
(Ask your applicator or contact Sashco for a handy comparison sheet.)
Conceal
Conceal's light texture simulates the natural roughness of wood.
Conceal's 7 colors blend in with the most popular stains used
on log homes, and Conceal's light texture simulates the natural
roughness of wood. The combination of color and texture makes it hard
to see where the caulking ends and the logs begin. Instead, they just
blend together.
Although
the caulking is hard to see, Conceal delivers performance. It
outperforms all other textured caulks currently available. Additionally,
Conceal cleans up with soap and water, is resistant to rainfall
in 1-4 hours, has a limited lifetime warranty, and has superior elongation,
memory and adhesion. Conceal
is available in 10.5 oz., 30 oz. cartridges, and 5-gallon pails for bigger
jobs.
Log Builder
All logs move. That's why Log Builder Log Home Sealant was specifically
designed to absorb all log movement. Whether it's shrinking, swelling,
extreme weather or settling foundation, Log Builder Log Home Sealant
moves with your home, maintaining an effective seal. Since it stretches
and compresses up to 100% of the original joint size and stays rubbery,
Log Builder won't crack or pull away. It creates a tight seal
to keep water, dust and wind from seeping into your home.
Use one of
Log Builder's seven water-based colors to seal around windows,
doors and base boards. And don't forget to seal checks and cracks. Any
split in the logs can promote decay and allow the elements to enter your
home. Log Builder is available in 10.5 oz., 30 oz. cartridges,
and 5-gallon pails for bigger jobs.
Log
Jam
No matter what it encounters—wind, rain, sleet, sun or snow, Log
Jam chinking effectively holds its seal. Log Jam chinking
keeps your home comfortable while keeping the weather where it belongs—outside.
Log Jam chinking is the elastic sealant that handles joint movement up
to 100%—even in joints up to 4" wide—while maintaining
its original appearance.
With superior
adhesion and elasticity, Log Jam chinking is guaranteed not to
crack, tear or peel away from logs. Plus, it's the only chinking to hold
a UL one-hour fire rating: when applied in accordance with Fire Resistance
Directory Design No. UL519. Log Jam chinking's six textured colors
seal your home with the traditional look of mortar and are available in
two convenient sizes (5 gallon pails and 30 oz. cartridges).
