BACKER ROD / GRIP STRIP

Backer Rod is a foam material used to fill large checks and gaps between logs. The round shape helps create the ideal joint design.
Water resistant – repels water to protect the joint from damage. Excellent for log home weatherization
Saves money – fills the joint so you use less caulk. Sealants and chinking do not adhere to the backer rod -only to log surfaces of the joint- allowing for movement without damaging sealing material.
