ALDRICH'S SELLS PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS FOR LOG CABIN HOMES

Chinking by Weatherall

Weatherall has a superior log sealant of latex acrylics that dries to form an elastic, mortar-textured, and durable surface which requires little or no maintenance. The chinking is flexible, forms a weather-tight seal, is non-toxic, fungus resistant and fire resistant.

Stains

Water-based UV Guard by Weatherall is scientifically designed to protect and preserve the intrinsic beauty and strength of natural wood. UV (ultraviolet) absorbers and stabilizers effectively resist the sun's harmful rays. It penetrates and seals the log surface and repels water, resists warping, swelling, and cracking. UV Guard contains a biocide that resists unsightly discoloration caused by mold and mildew and is safe for interior and exterior use. For greatest protection the recommended application is a base coat followed by a clear finish coat. Available in 11 transparent stains or in a clear finish.

Check out our EQUIPMENT RENTALS

Aldrich's Chinking Machine is available to rent. It can be rented for a day, week, or month. The chinking machine pumps the material which is then troweled by the applicator. Applying chinking is a lot like decorating a cake - even the tools are similar! Chinking can be done year around if the logs have been heated by the sun and no moisture is expected. Chinking materials will freeze so caution must be taken to keep chinking products in a warm building overnight.

Aldrich's also rents a Paint Sprayer which will apply stains and protective finishes in addition to cutting time and labor. The paint sprayer rents by the hour, day, week or month. Logs will deteriorate if not finished soon after the building is erected.
