  HONKA Joint and Seal Technology

HONKA excels in eliminating the costly expense of chinking! Energy efficiency in a home is all about air exchange or better said, "How tight is your home construction?" In a log home the ability to prevent air infiltration is dependent on the quality of the seal between the logs.

There are 5 major points of emphasis in determining the quality of this seal:

  • Precision fit

  • Maximized surface point contact

  • Waterproof sealer that won’t dry

  • Ease of assembly

  • Straightness of logs

Failure of any of these 5 elements can cause dramatic differences in the prevention of air and water infiltration thus reducing the energy efficiency of the home and allowing water damage.

HONKA’s technology excels in maximizing the benefits in all areas. CNC machined logs to precision tolerances. Swedish cope provides wrap around contact. Poly-propylene seal is water proof and won’t degrade like caulk and rubber gaskets. Installation of seal is simple. 4 wedges provide additional grip and seal. Density of logs and straight growth minimizes risk of twisting and warping. No chinking is required.
