Effective Log Home Media Blasting Services
Media blasting, also known as grit blasting or sand blasting, is a crucial part of the log home restoration process. It involves using various blasting materials to remove old finishes, dirt, and grime from the surface of the logs. This step is vital for ensuring that new stains and sealants adhere properly, providing long-lasting protection and beauty.
What is Media Blasting?
Media blasting uses high-pressure air to blast a chosen material (such as corn cob, walnut shells, soda, or glass) onto the log surface. This process effectively strips away old finishes and contaminants without damaging the wood. It prepares the logs for further treatment, ensuring a clean and smooth surface for staining and sealing.

Skipping media blasting can lead to several issues that affect the longevity and appearance of your log home. Here’s why media blasting is important:
