Professional Log Home & Heavy Timber Stain System

EXPERT™ Log & Timber Oil is a professional penetrating oil stain engineered specifically for log homes, timber frame construction, cabins, and heavy wood structures exposed to harsh North American climates.

Unlike surface coatings that form brittle films on top of the wood, this deep-penetrating oil system absorbs into large timber fibers to help protect against moisture intrusion, UV degradation, and seasonal expansion.

Designed for high-value log and timber structures, EXPERT™ supports predictable long-term maintenance without the aggressive stripping cycles commonly associated with thick film-forming finishes.

A Smarter Approach to Log Home Protection

Penetrating Protection for Log Homes

EXPERT™ Log & Timber Oil penetrates into the wood fibers rather than forming a brittle surface film, helping reduce peeling and simplify long-term maintenance.

Coverage:

• Approximate coverage rates:

  • 100–175 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on wood porosity
  • One 5-gallon pail covers approximately 500–900 sq. ft.

Application Guidelines

• One heavy saturating coat is typically sufficient
• Work oil thoroughly into checks, joints, and intersections
• Wipe excess stain from horizontal surfaces
• Apply to clean, dry wood
• 40–80 grit sanding is ideal for penetration

Proper surface preparation has more impact on performance than applying excessive coats.

Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is essential for long-term performance.

Thorough Cleaning

Remove dirt, oxidation, mildew, pollen, and contaminants before staining.

Moisture Verification

Wood moisture content should generally be at or below 12–13% before application.

Weather Conditions

Apply only when no rain is expected for at least 48 hours.
