Our original exterior wall formula has been updated and improved for over 20 years. Lifeline Exterior forms a thin film at the surface of logs where the protection is needed.
Its breathability and flexibility allows logs to go through seasonal expansion and contraction while drying out to their core. Apply a clear topcoat of Lifeline Advance to maximize durability and minimize maintenance cost and labor.
  • Excellent UV protection
  • Long lasting color retention
  • Breathable film allows unseasoned logs to dry out
Use Lifeline Advance Clear Top Coat to maximize the performance of your Lifeline exterior wood finish and dramatically reduce maintenance.

Looked like excellent product for the price, and after speaking with a couple of representatives for Perma-Chink, we applied the finish and topcoated with Lifeline Advance and the home looks great, just like my brother in law said it would!! Thanks Perma-Chink for great product and guidance.!!!

We purchased a Log Home a few years back and I was really in the dark as far as how to maintain it, I called several Log Home specialists I found online, but it was Perma-Chink that made it simple for me to understand what needed to be done, great customer service!

After purchasing a small rural property with a tiny log cabin I decided to do some renovations before winter. I found perma-chink online and ordered some samples. Three days later a huge box arrived filled with samples of nearly every product they sell. I was able to test out every striping compound,stain, and finish. This allowed me to figure out exactly what I needed to get the cabin finished exactly the way I wanted. I used strip it to remove the existing finish and stain and then I applied Newport colored stain from the Lifeline Accents product line. The finished results were beautiful and continue to get positive remarks from the neighbors and a few passerby's have even stopped to ask about the cabin and what was used to get such an awesome looking finish as well as the color since its quite unique. Ill continue to send people your way after such a great experience with your products and customer service.

After a lot of work looking at over 12 different stains we went with the company we heard the most positives from, Perma-Chink Lifeline Exterior finishes. Not only did we save money purchasing the Lifeline brand we also saved time applying it! This is a wonderful log home product and user friendly, we could not be happier with the results.

My husband and I purchased this stain last year when we were restoring our cabin. We wanted to save money, but also wanted a quality finish. I spoke with a Perma-Chink Rep who suggested adding UV Boost to Lifeline Exterior for extra UV protection. Also, we bought Lifeline Advance Gloss topcoat and applied that over top of it. The color we used (Cinnamon) looks wonderful, so we thank you for a great product!
