Backer Rod is a bond breaker used to make sure that your caulking makes a 2 point connection (to the top and bottom of the check). This is very important to allow the caulking to stretch. If you don’t use Backer Rod, it makes a 3 point connection and creates an anchor point where the caulking will tear when the logs move. It also prevents you from using too much caulking or chink and keeps your costs way down. Backer Rod is the product you need prior to chinking or caulking your log home. It not only acts as insulation but repels moisture, too. The closed-Cell Round Backer rod also serves as a bond-breaker between two logs and provides a structure against which you can apply chinking and caulk more uniformly in order to achieve an ideal joint.

Where to use:

  • Interior & exterior wherever caulking and chinking are being applied. Backer rod:
  • Cracks & checks
  • In between log courses
  • Around windows and doors
  • At butt joints Grip Strip:
  • Specifically designed for use on wide chink joints on Appalachian-style log homes
  • Log Gap Cap:
  • Use between window trim and round logs to seal those pesky triangle-shaped gaps

Where not to use:

  • Any joint smaller than 1/4″ deep and 1/4″ wide – backer rod won’t fit
