Lifeline Ultra-7 Stain is the most durable exterior stain that Perma-Chink has ever developed. After multiple exposure tests in harsh weather areas, including snow country, the sunny southeast, and extreme mountain locations, Lifeline Ultra-7 has proven to be a top-of-the-line, long-lasting finish.
Lifeline Ultra-7 is a premium wood stain enhanced with advanced polymer resin that delivers sophisticated color, unmatched durability, and maximum coverage. The secret behind its durability is its state-of-the-art resin that creates a flexible and tough seal on your home’s logs.
In addition to the seal’s strength, the resin also ensures that the seal is continuous, providing protection from holes and gaps that might otherwise develop with lower-quality stains. It’s this continuity that has proven to be much more resistant to UV degradation, color fading, and adhesion loss. Like all Lifeline finishes, the water-resistant film breathes to allow trapped moisture to evaporate from your logs.
A clear topcoat of Lifeline Advance is recommended to add depth and clarity to your woodgrain, extend the life of your stain, and make future maintenance much easier.
Perma-Chink is so confident in the performance of Lifeline Ultra-7 that it offers up to a 5-year warranty against UV exposure when applied to bare wood, and covered with Lifeline Advance clear topcoat and then a maintenance coat of Lifeline Advance during the third year. See
Warranty.

IMPORTANT: Use Wet Samples to choose stain color.
Before purchasing stain, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND testing wet samples of the stain on your home in the color or colors that you are considering—for the following reasons:
- Stain color on your computer will look different on your home.
- The appearance of a stain color is affected by the wood being stained—due to factors such as wood species, texture, and porosity.
- Wet samples of stain are available at no or low cost.
- Choosing your stain color by first testing wet samples to know how it will really look on your home will ensure that you get the color that is just right for your home.
