We know it can be  Confusing

best caulking

It is critical to use a high quality log home caulking on your home if you expect it to work and last a lifetime. If you cheap out or use a product not designed for log…expect failure. Sashco log home caulking was built for logs and timbers….period. It is a favorite of contractors world wide as it is very easy to work with and the performance is second to none.  Choose carefully as you do not want to be doing this over again in a couple of years because you chose the wrong log home caulking!

Let us say it again….caulking designed for wood is not made for logs! We can’t emphasize this enough….silicone or similar will fail! 

Sashco has 3 different log caulking all designed for logs and timbers and for various different scenarios. One of our trained specialists will be happy to walk you through the differences, give us a call.

Energy Seal was created to seal milled or scribed log homes, log siding homes and around joinery such as butt-joints, window trim, door trim and corners. One application makes any log wall completely weather-tight, which increases energy efficiency of your home.
