In order to allow the next steps to work effectively you must preserve the logs to ensure that you are able to achieve the best finished product. Cleaning your log home helps the owner to see any damage the logs may have more clearly and decide which step is best to take next.<\/p>\n

Hand Sanding vs<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]Log home preservation can include surface preparation, which is stripping coating of old finishes by using a few different methods. A pressure washer is a simple option that will work well to take away the old wood fibre, while getting rid of dirt, debris, cobwebs and will allow for best penetration of the new stain. Another option is to clean your log building with a log wash using products such as<\/span><\/p>\n

PermaChink Log Wash, Sansin Log Wash and Borate. These wood cleaners will remove mold, mildew, dark spots and can be used along with a pressure washer depending on the condition of the logs.<\/span>

For a more gentle approach in preserving your logs, hand sanding of logs is efficient and used for more softer wood compared to media blasting. Sanding allows the stain to be removed and to restore the beauty of the natural log. Sanding has a major affect on previous pigment on logs because stain can be lodged in pores not allowing the log home to breathe causing rot.<\/span>

In addition, media blasting is another method for more critical cases and is used to obtain a brand new look to your logs. It is an aggressive procedure that is performed if finish is faded, peeling or turning grey\/ black. Overtime, logs may have many layers of stain applied, this eventually will become a problem as it does not allow logs to breathe, necessary for a healthy log home.<\/p>\n

Media blasting can rid the layers allowing you to achieve a refinished look that will be as good as new. Along with these procedures, we are also able to apply wood brightening chemical to refresh and bring log pigment back to life before applying a new finish.<\/p>\n

Restoring with stain is the next step, to prevent mold, mildew and rot. Applying stain prevents water from getting to the wood as well as protecting against UV damage and improvement in log appearance.<\/p>\n
