Description
Backer Rod – Soft Type
- Fills large gaps and openings
- Provides a sound surface for caulking projects
- For use in expansion joints in driveways and sidewalks
Used for concrete precast building. Backer rod is inserted between the concrete panels to fill the gap, thus providing a ‘backer’ for the caulking that is applied. When used correctly, caulking within the joint can freely expand and contract as it was intended to do. These backer rods can be used around doors, windows, wall joints, as well as foundations. A backer rod is recommended in numerous construction applications because it:
- Saves caulking material by filling in most of the gaps
- Provides additional insulation and increase energy efficiency of a house
- Blocks drafts, giving additional quality to window installations
