With
increased consumer interest, beginning in
the early 1980's, in returning to a more
"natural" style versus "city" life and
forsaking the big city for a more relaxed
atmosphere, the log home industry began a
rapid expansion that is still being enjoyed
today. The need for a superior home sealant
system became apparent. The requirements for
this new sealant were elasticity, adhesion,
flexibility and weathering characteristics.
At the same time, the desire was to provide
the appearance of the old mortar texture.
With exceptional technical capabilities, in
1982 the Weatherall Company became the first
company to develop an all-acrylic,
elastomeric chinking for log homes. This
revolutionary new product was known as
Weatherall 1010 Chinking®. Shortly
thereafter Weatherall Company developed a
new log finish that was compatible with the
chinking. Next a unique backer-rod was
engineered to complete the first true Log
Home Sealant System-a total system that
would provide the ultimate protection
against the harsh elements of weather:
sunlight, moisture and wind. The entire Log
Home Sealant System now consists of:
Weatherall 1010 Chinking®
Triple Stretch® Chinking
Log Guard® Interior Wood Finish
Tri-Rod® Backer-Rod
UV Guard® Exterior Wood Finish
UV Guard® Premium Caulk
UV Guard® Textured Caulk
UV Guard® Deck & Fence Coating
This system not only enhances the beauty of
the log home, but also assures unsurpassed
protection and longevity.
With the advent of this new Log Home Sealant
System came the need to develop a strict set
of standards and appropriate application
methods. The Weatherall Company Chinking
Application Guide evolved and is currently
available to all homeowners, applicators and
builders.
Weatherall Company continually updates and
improves product quality to provide enhanced
performance. We take pride in choosing only
premium raw materials to produce the highest
quality products. Weatherall Company is
proud to be among the leaders in the
industry and the choice of log home
builders, architects and applicators.
Testimonials
"I've seen products that just don't last or
are difficult to apply. I recommend nothing
but Weatherall products. Their stain holds
up excellent, chink stays where you put it
and tools easily. The caulk has excellent
adhesion and flexibility and applies easily.
Weatherall products are definitely made to
last."

"At the A/U Ranches we have 40 log cabins
and lodges that have been built over the
past 120 years. Weatherall chink and UV
Guard have been invaluable products in our
renovation work. Easy to apply, dependable
quality, and long lasting, they have been
everything we hoped for in helping us
restore the ranch. On new buildings, we are
confident that in using Weatherall products
we are greatly enhancing the durability and
beauty of the structures."
