Clear Coating
Log clear coat, also known as clear wood finish or clear sealer, is a transparent protective coating for log homes, cabins, and wooden structures. Unlike stains or paints, clear coats enhance and safeguard the natural beauty of the wood.
​
The primary role of a clear coat is to protect against moisture, UV rays, insects, and mildew, preventing cracking, warping, and fading while showcasing the wood's natural grain and texture. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and sanding, ensures a smooth finish.
​
Clear coats come in water-based or oil-based formulations and vary in sheen from glossy to satin. Regular maintenance and reapplication are essential to preserve the structural integrity and appearance of log structures, ensuring their longevity.
