We recommend the following brand wood finishes below. Over the years we have tried and tested several different brands of finish. These are premium finishes and perform outstandingly on our Exterior Log Siding.

Sashco’s – Transformation Log & Timber – Oil Base
Perma-chink’s – Ultra-2 and Ultra-7  – Water Base – 5 year Warranty!
Continental’s – WeatherSeal Exterior – Oil Base
Sashco’s – Capture Stain – Water Base
U.C. Coating’s – Seal Once – Water Base

We use all of these finishes exclusively in all our exterior prefinishing processes. You’ll save large costs by having your stain/finish professionally applied before it arrives. No need to hire a messy painter for on-site applications!

Caulking is only required at butt joints and never needed on any tongue-n-groove ends or surfaces. We have taken 80% of the caulking out of your job! Caulking is still necessary around windows, doors, electrical boxes and corner pieces.  A nice bead of caulking is required in these areas to keep insects and moisture from creeping behind the siding and trim and potentially causing problems. We use Sashco and Perma-chink brands of caulking found here on our online webstore, The Log Home Shoppe:
