Lifeline Ultra-7 Chestnut Satin
Rich Color with a Traditional Cabin Feel
Lifeline Ultra-7 Chestnut Satin gives a log home a deeper, more traditional look while still letting the natural wood grain remain part of the finish. It is a strong option for homeowners who want warmth, character, and a more established cabin appearance rather than a lighter or more rustic tone. As part of Perma-Chink’s Ultra-7 line, this finish is designed for long-term exterior performance with durable color retention, strong adhesion, and a breathable protective layer that helps the wood release trapped moisture.



Lifeline Ultra-7 Dark Honey
Warm, Inviting Color That Highlights the Wood
Lifeline Ultra-7 Dark Honey offers a warm, golden-brown finish that enhances the beauty of the logs without overpowering their natural texture. It works well for homeowners who want a classic log home appearance with a little more richness than a lighter natural stain. This finish is part of Perma-Chink’s Ultra-7 system, which is built to provide strong exterior protection, lasting color, and a breathable coating suited for vertical wood surfaces.


Sashco Capture Hazelnut with Cascade Semi-Gloss Clear Coat
Soft Warmth with Added Depth and Protection
Sashco Capture Hazelnut with Cascade Semi-Gloss Clear Coat creates a warm, medium-toned finish that feels natural, welcoming, and a little softer than a darker stain choice. It is a great fit for homeowners who want visible wood character along with a bit more depth and polish. The Cascade Semi-Gloss Clear Coat adds an extra protective layer while enhancing the finish with a subtle sheen, making this combination a smart option for beauty and long-term exterior performance.


Sashco Capture Natural with Cascade Semi-Gloss Clear Coat
A Lighter, More Natural Finish for Log Homes
Sashco Capture Natural with Cascade Semi-Gloss Clear Coat is ideal for homeowners who want to keep the look of their logs lighter and more understated while still adding dependable protection. This finish allows the wood itself to remain the focal point, making it a good choice for cabins where a clean, natural appearance is the goal. Paired with Cascade Semi-Gloss, it gains added surface protection and a gentle sheen that helps highlight the texture and depth of the wood.
Sashco Capture Chestnut
Deep, Timeless Color for a Classic Log Home Look
Sashco Capture Chestnut gives log homes a deep, timeless tone that adds noticeable warmth and depth while still showing off the grain beneath. It is a strong choice for cabin owners who prefer a more substantial, classic finish rather than a lighter stain. Sashco positions Capture as a high-performance log stain for vertical wood surfaces, designed to protect the wood while maintaining a natural-looking finish instead of a heavy coated appearance.
