We know it can be Confusing
It doesn’t get any more important than this. This is a big job….do you want to do it again in a few years because you cheaped out on a quality log stain?!?
Poor log home stain not only doesn’t last but requires removal when it fails. Plus, you have to do the big job all over again! More time, more cost and it rips your soul out. A log dream can quickly turn into a log nightmare!
Be good to yourself and your home and only use the highest quality log home stain on the market. Stain and caulking designed for wood, are not made for logs… we can’t stress this enough.
We have different log stain lines all designed for logs and timbers and for various different applications. Speak with a specialist and we will help you select what is best for your specific scenario. We carry only high performance stain specifically made for these applications. Choose from Sashco, Perma-Chink, Timber Pro or Sikkens (Sico)
