What Could Chinking Be?


Chinking. Ever wonder why it’s called such? You can try to look it up on some ordinary dictionary and yet confusion still settles into your mind. Oh well, to clear it all up, it is filling the gaps in between log materials that make up a log cabin. Imagine the piles of log that make up the whole building? They have gaps in between them. To secure that those gaps aren’t infiltrated with insects, moisture, atmosphere, unwanted air, dust and of course water, chinking must be done.

Various chinking materials are available in the market. They can be found in home depots and come in forms of liquid and elastic liquid. They come in containers and if you are a log cabin owner, you should know about that too. The kind of log cabin chinking materials depends on the owner’s choice. If you’re curious enough, you can go ahead and check on many chinking tools at the home depot, or if you want to stay at home, do so online!

It is no doubt that chinking is the way to make the log cabin look very nice and neat. If you want to get yourself one in the future, it’s just as easy. You only have to remember that maintenance is essential and never forget to make sure that the right chinking materials with the right quality are used!
