CHINKING

If you choose the Authentic Chink cabin the chinking is a must.  While you can use your mixture of chinking we recomend the easy way out.  We offer Perma Chink products for a variety of reasons.  Permachink is more elastic than cement so it will shrink and swell as the logs go through seasonal movement.  Perma Chink comes in five gallon pales and there are a variety of colors to choose from.  Perma Chink offers great customer support and with a little practice it is very easy to install. 

   If you chose a Drystack Cabin you can use chinking to enhance the look of the cabin.  Perma Chink offers a chink paint as well. 

 

PERMA-CHINKSince 1981, Perma-Chink Log Home Sealant has proven itself on thousands of chinked and chinkless style homes to become the most widely applied chinking in the world. It's simply the best chinking by every measure: longevity, appearance, performance and ease of application.

Perma-Chink is a flexible, textured chinking that seals the open gaps between logs to eliminate heat loss and air infiltration. Even though it looks and feels like traditional mortar, it's not. Perma-Chink is a pure acrylic that adheres to logs and stretches to maintain a tight seal by following log movement.

Like all of our products, Perma-Chink is easy to apply and comes backed by the support of our knowledgeable, friendly staff. When you use Perma-Chink, professional advice is never more than a phone call away.

Application can be done by the homeowner or a professional contractor. We stock a full line of application accessories or can refer a professional applicator in your area.

INSULATION

We offer rigid insulation for roofing.  You will need this if you use a heavy timer roof system.  This rigid insulation is 6" thick and it has a sayer of 5/8 OSB glued to the top.

   If you chose and Authintic Chink Cabin then you will need an open cell foam insulation to place between the logs.  This not only acts as a substraight to chink to but it helps to Stableize the tempeture in the cabin as well.

You will need siding in the gable ends and on the additions you may chose on your cabins.  Dovetail Cabin can provide any siding but our most popular styles are: Batton on Board, Horizonal lap, Bark, and Wavy Edge.

 

WINDOWS

Dovetail Cabins likes to offer the window package with the cabin because we cut the openings and we cant to make sure the windows fit.  We have prices that will compete or beat your local supplier.  The widow we offer is a low (or no) maintenance window.  The outside is made from either extruded aluminum or vynil that requires no maintenance.  The inside of these windows is wood so it will match the interior of the cabin.  We feature two different brands.  The first is Palmetto Series and the second is by Windsor.  Both windows are proudly made in the Carolina's.

 

PANELING

You will need some wood paneling to finish some of the interior walls of your cabin.  We offer many styles of paneling in many different species that are made by Tidewater Lumber and Moulding.   The Most popular styles are shiplap, Penny Grove, and T,G, & V.  The most popular species are White Pine, and Cypress.  www.tidewaterlumber.com 

 

FLOORING

No cabin will be complete without the hardwood flooring.  We offer a wide plank floor that is milled in SC by Tidewater Lumber and Moulding.  There are several species to chose from, but our most popular is Circle Sawn Oak.  The Circle Sawn Oak offers the rough look with a smooth texture that would have been used in these Appalachian style log homes 100 years ago.  www.tidewaterlumber.com
