Roberts Designs 6mm Round Closed Cell Backer Rod is a foam rod you push into a joint before sealing it. It sets the depth of the sealant, stops it bonding to the bottom of the joint and saves a lot of silicone in deep gaps.
Use it for
- Backing narrow movement and perimeter joints before silicone or hybrid sealant
- Filling the gap between tile and bath, shower base or door frame
- Any joint deeper than it is wide
Specifications
- Diameter: 6mm
- Profile: Round, closed cell
- Length: 250m roll
- Model: RDX2300
Good to know
- Pick a rod about 25 percent wider than the joint so it stays put.
- Sealant depth should be about half the joint width. Set the rod to that depth and seal over it.
- Closed cell foam does not soak up water, so it suits wet areas. Also available in 10mm (RDX2303).
