Murchison Enterprises only uses the best "P-Gasket"
WHY ARE GASKETS CRITICAL FOR LOG HOMES?
Given the organic nature of logs, they naturally shrink, settle, and sometimes twist due to the weight of the home and the roof. To mitigate these natural behaviors, we use the p-gasket for as a secondary vapor barrier. This barrier efficiently keeps moisture and air out of your log home while also serving as the best sound barrier and enhancing the insulation.
WHY LOG HOME P GASKET STANDS OUT?
P Gasket has revolutionized the log home construction industry, providing a reliable and easy-to-install alternative to other gasketing products. It doesn’t absorb water like open cell tape-type gaskets and outperforms in compressibility compared to standard closed-cell gaskets.
With the unique P shape of our gasket, we ensure a seamless, unbroken seal around the log laterals and notches. Whether you’re building or tearing down prior to delivery, P Gasket can be installed under controlled conditions, thus saving substantial time and resources during the reassembly phase on the customer’s site. Moreover, the open-cell interior design allows for optimal compression and recovery, while the closed-cell exterior ensures resistance to water and wind, making it suitable for installation in all weather conditions.
Log Home P Gasket provides a continuous 720′ linear feet of seal, ensuring comprehensive coverage and protection for your log home. Its unique stapling flange guarantees an unbroken, seamless seal throughout the application.
INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY OF LOG HOME P GASKET
We can easily install P Gasket here in the yard, either during the construction phase or upon teardown prior to shipping. The stapling flange secures the gasket in the laterals and effectively seals the vapor-protected insulation in the notches, ensuring your logs arrive ready for placement directly from the truck.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OTHER LOG HOME GASKET
Crafted from environmentally friendly Polyethylene Foam, the P Gasket exhibits remarkable compression properties, without hindering the free movement of your logs. It compresses up to 99% and recovers to 97% with an open-cell core and a closed-cell skin, ensuring the longevity and stability of your log home.
TRUSTED MANUFACTURING
P Gaskets are made of Polyethylene Foam, an extremely lightweight and environmentally friendly material known for its excellent insulation properties. The stapling flange ensures a continuous, unbroken seal, contributing to the enhanced performance of your log home.
Conventional open cell tape gaskets, despite having good compression, often expand prematurely in heat or adhere poorly in damp conditions, thereby reducing their effectiveness. The traditional closed-cell backer rod, although solving the water wicking issue, lacked compressibility and recovery.
