Backing Rods / Sealant Cords (1 Meter Length) Highlights

  • Versatile Sealing Solution: Backing rods are essential for creating a proper seal in joints and gaps. They provide a backstop for sealants, ensuring consistent depth and preventing excessive sealant usage.
  • Durable Foam Construction: Typically made from closed-cell polyethylene foam, these rods offer excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. This ensures long-lasting performance in various environments.
  • Controlled Joint Movement: The flexible nature of backing rods allows for controlled expansion and contraction of building materials. This prevents stress on the sealant and the surrounding structure.
  • Easy Installation: These rods are lightweight and easy to cut to size, making installation quick and efficient. They can be pressed into place by hand or with simple tools.
  • Prevents Three-Sided Adhesion: By filling the joint, backing rods prevent the sealant from bonding to three sides. This is crucial for allowing movement and preventing sealant failure.
