Everbuild Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod 10mm x 10 Metre

Product Information

I must say that I expected a much bigger and sizeable roll of foam strip but it just came bound together in an envelope. Closed-cell backer rods should not be used with sealants that cure by reacting with moisture in the air because the closed cells will not allow air in from the back of the sealant bead, in turn retarding the cure. This impregnated tape is capable of accommodating joint width tolerance, and also provides weather resistance and thermal insulation.

So, I now intend to chisel away the grout and then squeeze in a backing rod and then apply silicone on top. Backing rod for fire resistant joint sealing in horizontal and vertical building structure applications. It is commonly used as an alternative to other sealing methods, such as caulking or foam insulation, to provide an effective and long-lasting seal.

The ends of adjoining rods and at detailing locations such as corners must be in tight contact with each other to maintain maximum fire resistance. I’m particularly bad with sealant I never get it applied in a smooth manner without creating an awful and sticky mess. Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

Its a great product if you want to minimise the level of ragged or untidy gap finishes in your DIY project. A backer rod is a flexible foam material that is used in construction to fill gaps and joints between building materials, such as concrete, masonry, and wood. Then apply the silicone bead, keeping the nozzle inside the "crack" - squeeze until the silicone is just proud of the tile face.

This still applies for deliveries out of our local area but please note that we use independent carriers so be aware that there may be external factors which we cannot control (e.

There is half an inch gap between the tub and the wall and there is also the gap between the tile and the tub. Quadrant strip never goes black and not visible silicon, it can just simply be wiped down with a cloth.

Don’t think I could ask for more and I’ll certainly be using Sealant supplies again, what a great find. Yes, backer rods can be painted over, just make sure the backer rod is clean, dry, and covered in the sealant before painting. Without tooling, the bond area between the sealant and the sides of the joint may not be sufficient to prevent the sealant from pulling away from the sides of the joint.

It can also be incorporated into side insulation and expansion joints preventing heat loss and provide acoustic properties. Excellent exactly what I needed to plug some gaps around the back of kitchen units, side of bath and many other uses to come I’m sure. It also helps to control the flow of the sealant, ensuring that it is distributed evenly and adheres to the surfaces of the joint.

Bond-It De-Bond Mate is A non-drip gel formula for the complete removal of cured silicone sealant, particularly when silicone has been accidentally smeared over glass, ceramics or countertops.
