Log cabins offer a very homely and relaxed atmosphere. Do you wonder why they last for so a long time looking unworn and shiny throughout many years from it being built? Chinking does it, you know. It’s the process where the crevices and the gaps that are in between the logs are properly filled with elastic material to make sure they’re sealed from many unwanted natural elements. You wouldn’t want moisture, air, and water seep through the wooden material. Just imagine how weather changes overtime and how it affects the log cabin’s materials of such house type.
Why do we have to do some log cabin chinking? It’s just very simple. A log cabin wouldn’t be one without the right protection and structure that it needs. It is just like concrete houses which are built with cement. Log cabins cannot be made and left just as that. If it is painting for the concrete house, it is chinking and finishing with the log cabin.
Chinking has to be done to make sure that spots are carefully sealed so the house won’t be in danger of natural element infiltration. This is because further damage on the material will be caused by such elements. The insulation of the cabin will also be affected.
Nobody wants such damages to happen, right? Not only would it mean maintenance, it would also mean that there will be more expenses in the future! So if you want to own a log cabin, never miss out the chinking part!
