airtight pleasing applications
LOG-PRO has experience in all forms of log cabin chinking, wide seams, narrow seams, and handcrafted homes in Bucks County. We provide an airtight, pleasing application with no blisters or tears. Our application involves the use of a grip strip and close-cell backer to seams, and the product is applied by a bulk loader and tubes. This is followed by a tooling process that uses isopropyl alcohol combined with 50% water, and polyethylene application pads to ensure an air and moisture-proof seal.
We work with the homeowners to achieve their desired look. With proper techniques, chinking or caulking can be made to blend into the wood or accent your home. Our craftsmanship comes with a (1) year warranty. We use only products designed specifically for your log home by companies that deal exclusively with log homes.

Log Home Chinking FAQ
Log home chinking is the material applied between the logs of a cabin or timber home to seal gaps and create a barrier against air, water, and pests. It plays a critical role in maintaining energy efficiency, preventing moisture damage, and enhancing the overall appearance of your home. Properly installed chinking helps ensure your log home stays comfortable, durable, and protected year-round.
If you notice drafts, visible gaps between logs, cracking or peeling material, or signs of moisture intrusion, it may be time to repair or replace your chinking. Aging or improperly applied chinking can fail over time, leading to higher energy costs and potential structural issues if left unaddressed.
Professional chinking involves precise techniques and specialized materials that ensure a long-lasting, airtight seal. The process includes preparing seams with grip strips and closed-cell backer rods, followed by careful application and finishing. This level of detail helps prevent common problems like bubbling, tearing, or premature failure that can occur with less experienced applications.
