LOG HOME P GASKET
Our closed-cell foam Log Home P Gasket was born out of a genuine need to find a superior solution to traditional closed-cell backer rods which failed under pressure and were not sufficiently compressible. Inspired by a similar product spotted on a mobile home in North Carolina, we embarked on a quest to source the P Gasket, leading us to offer it to other dedicated log home builders.
WHY ARE GASKETS CRITICAL FOR LOG HOMES?
Given the organic nature of logs, they naturally shrink, settle, and sometimes twist due to the weight of the home and the roof. To mitigate these natural behaviors, we introduced the P Gasket as a secondary vapor barrier. This barrier efficiently keeps moisture and air out of your log home while also serving as a sound barrier and enhancing the insulation.
WHY LOG HOME P GASKET STANDS OUT?
Our P Gasket has revolutionized the log home construction industry, providing a reliable and easy-to-install alternative to other gasketing products. It doesn’t absorb water like open cell tape-type gaskets and outperforms in compressibility compared to standard closed-cell gaskets.
With the unique P shape of our gasket, we ensure a seamless, unbroken seal around the log laterals and notches. Whether you’re building or tearing down prior to delivery, P Gasket can be installed under controlled conditions, thus saving substantial time and resources during the reassembly phase on the customer’s site.
Moreover, the open-cell interior design allows for optimal compression and recovery, while the closed-cell exterior ensures resistance to water and wind, making it suitable for installation in all weather conditions.Our Log Home P Gasket provides a continuous 720′ linear feet of seal, ensuring comprehensive coverage and protection for your log home. Its unique stapling flange guarantees an unbroken, seamless seal throughout the application.
INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY OF LOG HOME P GASKET
You can easily install P Gasket at the builder’s site, either during the construction phase or upon teardown prior to shipping. The stapling flange secures the gasket in the laterals and effectively seals the vapor-protected insulation in the notches, ensuring your logs arrive ready for placement directly from the truck.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OTHER LOG HOME GASKET
Crafted from environmentally friendly Polyethylene Foam, the P Gasket exhibits remarkable compression properties, without hindering the free movement of your logs. It compresses up to 99% and recovers to 97% with an open-cell core and a closed-cell skin, ensuring the longevity and stability of your log home.
VARIOUS APPLICATIONS
Beyond scribed log homes, the P Gasket is also ideal for modular homes and trailers, applicable to lateral grooves, notches, window bucks, door openings, and other areas where settling necessitates free movement.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
Say goodbye to ineffective, weather-dependent tape gaskets. P Gasket installs easily under any weather conditions, reducing handling and saving time at the customer’s site. Its pre-installation contributes to lower labor costs, crane time, and truck waiting time, ensuring significant savings for your customers.
UNBEATABLE VALUE
We’ve succeeded in reducing our P Gasket prices by 50%, offering unbeatable cost-effectiveness given its superior performance. Its dimensions, approximately 1.25″ at the bulb and 2″ long with the stapling flange, and an R-Value of 4 per inch, make it a preferred choice for quality-conscious log home builders.
TRUSTED MANUFACTURING
Our P Gaskets are made of Polyethylene Foam, an extremely lightweight and environmentally friendly material known for its excellent insulation properties. The stapling flange ensures a continuous, unbroken seal, contributing to the enhanced performance of your log home.
Conventional open cell tape gaskets, despite having good compression, often expand prematurely in heat or adhere poorly in damp conditions, thereby reducing their effectiveness. The traditional closed-cell backer rod, although solving the water wicking issue, lacked compressibility and recovery.
We discovered the solution with our P Gasket, inspired by a product seen on a mobile home in North Carolina. Since then, we’ve offered this ingenious solution to fellow log builders dedicated to building quality scribed log homes. You can trust the P Gasket for superior performance and cost-effectiveness in your log home construction.

OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
Over the years, we’ve refined our gasketing procedures and the design of our lateral grooves and notch cuts to maximize the performance of the gasket. Our P Gasket has proven its effectiveness in laboratory tests and real-world blower door tests, and we continue to use it exclusively in our log homes.
When considering a builder for your log home, ask if they utilize P Gasket as a standard building procedure. This query can guide you towards builders who prioritize the highest quality standards.
Remember, not all log homes are made equal. The true measure of quality lies beneath the surface, where the effectiveness of components like the P Gasket truly shines.

Backer Rod
Backer Rod is a bond breaker used to make sure that your caulking makes a 2 point connection (to the top and bottom of the check). This is very important to allow the caulking to stretch. If you don't use Backer Rod, it makes a 3 point connection and creates an anchor point where the caulking will tear when the logs move. It also prevents you from using too much caulking or chink and keeps your costs way down View More Info
Grip Strip
Grip Strip is a bond breaker used to make sure that your caulking makes a 2 point connection (to the top and bottom of the check). This is very important to allow the caulking to stretch. If you don't use Grip Strip, it makes a 3 point connection and creates an anchor point where the caulking will tear when the logs move.

Emseal Log Home Gasket Tape
Emseal offers 2 Types of Log Home Gasket Tapes:
CLASSIC: For more than 30 years EMSEAL has offered an economical, expanding, open-cell, foam tape impregnated with water-based, acrylic-modified asphalt. Classic Log Home Gasket Tape provides UV stability and sealing ability, as well as resistance to aging and to vermin (bugs, rodents, birds, etc.).
ACRYLIC: EMSEAL Acrylic Log Home Gasket Tape was developed in the early 1980’s using in place of asphalt, a water-based, acrylic impregnation. Compatible with liquid sealants, chinking, and stains and preservatives, it is clean-handling and free from visible contact staining.
EMSEAL Acrylic Log Home Gasket Tape is particularly suitable for construction methods such as Swedish cope and is widely used by handcrafters. It is also suitable for flat-on-flat construction where sealant tape is installed at the outer edges of the logs AND where sprayed-on log sealer or stain may come in contact with the tape.
