Tri-Rod® Backer Rod

Where to Order

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.
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.
