Exterior finishes & Stains on Log Homes.

Pictures of Various Exterior Finishes and Stains on Log Homes

When viewing these photos, keep in mind that sun exposure damages finishes and stains. In the northern hemisphere, he worst damage occurs on walls facing south and the least damage occurs on north facing walls. Walls facing east and west, incur damage somewhere in between.

The home below was 18 years old when the photos were taken. The owners elected to leave the White Cedar log siding unfinished. Visit > log home siding for availability and pricing for White Cedar and White Pine log siding.

The log home below was completed in 1995 and stained with Sikkens (a Scandinavian product developed for log homes). The product directions recommended three brushed coats but this close to the end of the job the wallet was getting thin - two sprayed coats were applied. In 2004, the home was powered washed and three brushed coats of Sikkens applied by Paint by Joe, Inc. The two photos were taken a year later.

This wall faces northeast and is heavily shaded by trees.

This wall faces southwest over an open field and receives more sun damage than any other wall. The home owners had another brush coat applied in 2006.

Staining a deck begins first with cleaning, then brightening the surface of the wood by power washing. Renegade brand stain from AWA was used on this deck to give a furniture like finish that will last for years even after long snowy Colorado winters. This Deck was finished by Log Home Finishing in Colorado.
