Permachink Energy Seal Sealant For Your Log Home
Energy Seal is a textured caulking specifically designed for use on log and timber homes, where most caulking is multi-purpose and ill-suited for the harsh environment of exterior use. Energy Seal was created to seal milled or scribed log homes, log siding homes and around joinery such as butt-joints, window trim, door trim and corners.
When applied properly over backer rod, Energy Seal helps close gaps around log joinery, trim, corners, and other areas where air and water can work their way in.
Most people call log sealants “caulk” but we try to refer to them as “sealants” to help differentiate high quality products from cheap caulks that can be bought at any hardware store. Unlike commonly used caulks which look shiny and artificial, Energy Seal is textured to match the visual characteristics of wood. It easily tools to a smooth, professional finish, virtually disappearing into the walls after it’s applied. It softens the lines on log walls and accepts the color of wood finishes. In fact, Energy Seal so closely matches your walls, most people can’t tell the seams are sealed.
Why Energy Seal Stands Out:
- Exceptional Durability: Withstands UV rays, chemicals, mold, and mildew without compromising its integrity.
- Elasticity and Flexibility: Adapts to log movements, ensuring long-lasting protection against air and water infiltration.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Its lightly textured finish blends seamlessly with wood, enhancing the natural beauty of your log home.
- Energy Seal is designed to tool smoothly, offering a professional finish that integrates so well, it becomes virtually invisible.
Do I Need Backer Rod?
In many cases, yes. Backer rod helps control the depth of the sealant and allows it to only adhere to the top and bottom of the joint.
If you are sealing a gap and are not sure whether backer rod is needed, contact us before ordering. A quick conversation can help you avoid wasting material or applying it in a way that does not perform well.
How Much Energy Seal Do I Need?
The amount depends on the width and depth of the gap, and how many linear feet you are sealing.
If you know the approximate gap size and total linear feet, Ward can help estimate the amount you need.
Perma-Chink’s Energy Seal gives coverage examples by gap width, including approximately 14 feet per 11-ounce tube at a 1/4-inch gap.

Choose Energy Seal for a solution that doesn’t just seal; it enhances, protects, and preserves the charm of your log or timber home.
