Ideal natural protection for log homes
Your log home represents your vision of life and your personality, reflecting your desire to break free from established norms. So why opt for an ordinary stain?
Log homes require more than just protection from the elements like sun and rain. The very nature of logs requires a coating that allows the material to “breathe,” preventing moisture from building up and causing rot from the inside. Sansin specifically developed its Enviro Stain penetrating products to preserve the natural aesthetics of your home.
Using water to carry modified natural oils and push them deep into the wood, Sansin Classic and SDF coatings can be applied even to very damp surfaces, which is particularly beneficial for log homes that often have moisture levels above 25%. In comparison, most water- and solvent-based coatings are only suitable for surfaces with moisture levels of 18% or less. In addition, these conventional coatings may trap more moisture inside the wood.
Over time, logs age and dry out, leading to cracks and splits. Conventional coatings can make these problems worse by allowing water to seep in and deteriorate the wood. In contrast, Classic and SDF products protect the wood surface from the inside out, bringing out the unique character of your home. Since logs are designed to degrade slowly, regular maintenance and cleaning will suffice.
