Everbuild Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod 10mm x 10 Metre

Product Information

The backer rod supports tooling so after installation of material the sealant can be pushed to the bond line with a spatula, ensuring wet-out of the sealant to the substrate. Don’t think I could ask for more and I’ll certainly be using Sealant supplies again, what a great find. Spent a lot of time looking for the right colour of sealant with no real results until I stumbled across Sealant Supplies. It can also be incorporated into side insulation and expansion joints preventing heat loss and provide acoustic properties.

Backer rods are held in place by compression, it is important that the rod selected is about 25% larger than the maximum expected joint opening, thereby creating the proper depth to width ratio, act as a bondbreaker, and provide a firm surface against which tooling can be done.Once cured, the foam can be sawn or plastered over after only an hour providing the working temperatures (can and surfaces) are between +5oC to +25oC, ideally 20oC.

Products arrived in good time and perfect for the job, a fungicidal wash to help keep moss off the roof. In other words, it is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth and create a backstop to allow proper sealant tooling. I purchased some lead guttering repair sealant from Sealant Supplies Ltd and the on-line purchase was quick and easy.Only issue once had is that if it’s not fully inserted it can come back out at some areas as it expands. I’ve also started to use spare parts of these foam strips for other DIY repair jobs where two part wood filled had to be supported from the inside of a half-rotten wooden door.

When applying the sealant, it is important to use the right tools and materials, such as a silicone gun or a sealing tool, to ensure that the sealant is distributed evenly and adheres properly to the surfaces of the joint. Reference must be made to limitations regarding dimensions and configuration described in the ETA 23/0088. Promotes an hour glass shape, this maximizes the bond area but keeps the depth of sealant consistent in the middle allowing for movement. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Whether you are a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, we have the tools and materials you need to achieve a perfect silicone joint every time.It is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth and create a backstop to allow proper sealant tooling. This is because they can absorb water and lose their shape, ultimately reducing their effectiveness as a sealant backing.
