Tri-Rod® Backer Rod
 

TRI-ROD Backer Rod is a highly insulating, closed-cell polyethylene foam backer rod specifically designed and manufactured for use in the round log home industry. The triangular shape of TRI-ROD enables it to fit snugly between the logs and provides a flat surface for the optimum chink joint design.

 Tri Rod - Backer Rod

Advantages

  • Triangular Shaped
    Fits into the log joint to create a flat surface for chinking.

  • Bond Breaker
    Chinking releases from closed-cell surface allowing for its natural elasticity.

  • Rounded Corners
    Increases chinking "footprint" area for maximum adhesion.

  • Closed-Cell
    Resists moisture migration.

  • Flame Retardant
    Withdraws from flame rather than supporting combustion.

  • Energy Efficient
    TRI-ROD has an R 4 per inch rating giving it excellent thermal efficiency.

  • No Outgassing
    Does not outgas or cause blistering.

  • Non-Toxic
    Is odorless and safe for exterior and interior use. Has excellent flame and smoke ratings per ASTM-E-84

  • Ease of Application
    Is easily installed between logs after spraying back side with spray adhesive. It is not necessary to hold TRI-ROD in place with nails, staples, etc.

  • Flexible
    Provides firm but flexible chinking surface; will not distort or result in bulging, uneven chinking surface.

  • Testing
    Meets or exceeds ASTM standards for polyethylene foam insulation. See Properties & Performance Comparison of Backing Materials.
