Is it important to caulk the joints in e-log systems?
Yes, it is important to caulk the vertical joints of the e-log system. Every joint that is running vertically, whether it is between e-logs or corner logs or trim, needs to be caulked. The horizontal joints between e-logs do not need to be, unless there seems to be an unusually large gap or if the log home owner wants a caulked or chinked look. As with any log application, proper caulking will help preserve the life of the entire system and maintain its beauty.
