Depending on the agreement, Hennessy Milling will then ensure the re-assembly of your cottage kit is completed including staining and PERMA-CHINKING. Perma-Chink is a flexible, textured log home chinking that seals the open gaps between logs to eliminate heat loss and air infiltration. Even though it looks and feels like traditional mortar, it’s not. Perma-Chink is a pure acrylic that adheres to logs and stretches to maintain a tight seal by following log movement. This product comes in the following colours: white, stone, light grey, sandstone, beige, tan, brown, and medium grey.

Benefits of the Perma-Chink product includes:

  • Provides aesthetic and structural integrity
  • Longterm bonding to logs creating a permanent weather-tight seal, lowering your a/c and heating bills
  • Resists degradation from freezing / thawing cycles, rain and UV light
  • Resilient enough to absorb natural log movement

Note

Maintenance packages are available.
