Media, Corn Cob and Sandblasting Logs

When it comes to restoring and maintaining the natural beauty of your log home, media blasting, corn cob blasting, and sandblasting are three powerful techniques that can help you achieve outstanding results. These methods remove old finishes, stains, and surface contaminants, revealing the true beauty of the wood beneath. At WEATHERWIZE, our skilled technicians are experienced in using these techniques to restore log homes to their original glory, ensuring a stunning and long-lasting finish.

Media Blasting: A Versatile and Efficient Restoration Method

Media blasting is a highly effective and versatile technique for removing old finishes, stains, and surface contaminants from your log home. This process involves using compressed air to propel a fine, abrasive media against the log surface, gently removing the unwanted materials without damaging the wood underneath. At WEATHERWIZE, we use a variety of media blasting materials, including:

• Glass Beads: Gentle and environmentally friendly, glass bead media is ideal for removing light finishes and stains without altering the wood’s natural texture.
• Crushed Glass: Crushed glass media is a more aggressive option that efficiently removes tougher finishes and stains while maintaining the wood’s character.
• Walnut Shells: Biodegradable and non-toxic, walnut shell media is perfect for removing old finishes and stains while preserving the wood’s natural look and feel.

Our experienced technicians will assess your log home’s specific needs and select the most appropriate media blasting material to achieve the desired results.

Corn Cob Blasting: A Natural and Eco-Friendly Approach

Corn cob blasting is an eco-friendly and highly effective method for restoring log homes. This technique uses finely ground corn cobs as the blasting media, gently removing old finishes, stains, and surface contaminants without harming the environment or the wood itself. The benefits of corn cob blasting include:

• Natural and Biodegradable: Corn cob media is an all-natural, biodegradable alternative to synthetic blasting materials, minimizing the environmental impact of the restoration process.
• Gentle on Wood: The soft nature of corn cob media ensures that the blasting process is gentle on the wood, preserving its natural texture and grain.
• Dust-Free: Corn cob blasting produces minimal dust compared to other methods, making it a cleaner and more pleasant experience for both technicians and homeowners.

At WEATHERWIZE, we embrace eco-friendly restoration techniques like corn cob blasting to help you achieve a beautiful, long-lasting finish while minimizing the impact on the environment.

Sandblasting: A Traditional and Effective Method

Sandblasting is a traditional and highly effective method for restoring log homes. This technique involves using compressed air to propel fine sand particles against the log surface, removing old finishes, stains, and surface contaminants. While sandblasting is more aggressive than media or corn cob blasting, it can be an excellent choice for log homes with heavily weathered or damaged surfaces. The benefits of sandblasting include:

• Thorough Removal: Sandblasting is highly effective at removing even the toughest finishes and stains, ensuring a clean and uniform surface for refinishing.
• Fast and Efficient: Sandblasting can cover large areas quickly, making it an efficient choice for larger log homes or those with extensive restoration needs.
• Customizable: By adjusting the sand particle size and pressure, our technicians can tailor the sandblasting process to your log home’s specific needs, achieving the perfect balance of removal and wood preservation.

At WEATHERWIZE, our skilled technicians have the experience and expertise to safely and effectively use sandblasting to restore your log home to its original beauty.
