Glossy stain for interior of log home - why is it a no-no?

January 23rd, 2008 | by admin |
curious1223 asked:


We’re building a log home and are currently debating the stain/finish of the interior (exterior has been decided). We would like to use a product that’s a stain and a finish/poly in one (to save money/labor for the builder). I like glossy/semi-glossy stuff. My husband likes matte. He tells me that noone in their right mind would stain the walls of a log home with gloss. Why not? He can’t come up with the answer. Can you? Also, if you know of a good stain & finish product to use on log walls, please suggest. Finally, is “matte” and “satin” the same thing? You can look a the pictures of the walls/partial house at http://dclhome.blogspot.com/ . Thanks
