I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and will purchase from them again in the future. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Don’t think I could ask for more and I’ll certainly be using Sealant supplies again, what a great find. When installing backer rod, it is important to carefully measure and cut the rod to the correct length for the joint. It can also be incorporated into side insulation and expansion joints preventing heat loss and provide acoustic properties. Excellent exactly what I needed to plug some gaps around the back of kitchen units, side of bath and many other uses to come I’m sure.

Due to covid and new contactless deliveries, our carriers will not require a signature but will take down the recipients name as POD. Bond-It GP200 is a multi-purpose, low modulus silicone rubber sealant with fungicide, suitable for most sealing jobs around the home. Backer rod is a flexible foam material used in construction projects to fill gaps and voids between two building materials.

Backer Rod is an integral component of sealant joints, it provides three main functions that allow the sealant joint to perform.

A quantity of x3 would be 18 metres and so on upto a maximum of 550 linear metres (a quantity of x92). They also appreciate that the sealants come in various diameters and are easy to use and cut to size using scissors. With environments that require high levels of hygiene or antibacterial properties, we have PVC cladding and epoxy resins that will suit all of your needs and requirements.

As experts in closed cell pe foam, we also produce a wide range of foam extruded profiles for use as protection and packaging in many industries. If you are applying to impervious or hard surfaces, you will need a primer with 1st class adhesion promoters. And one further point - if you've got leaky skirting boards, check the light switches and fittings - we had clear draughts from both and bought a 70p car sponge from Wilko, cut it up and squeezed into the holes in the plasterboard - again it made an instant difference. I like it as it's not permanent - if I need to change something later on I can take it out (unlike say sealant or the expanding foam). Promotes an hour glass shape, this maximizes the bond area but keeps the depth of sealant consistent in the middle allowing for movement.

It is commonly used as an alternative to other sealing methods, such as caulking or foam insulation, to provide an effective and long-lasting seal. Closed cell backer rod is a round, flexible, closed cell polyethylene foam with an exterior "skin" used as a backing and thickness control device for elastomeric and other cold-applied sealants.

Please note that given the current circumstances alot of carrier companies are struggling to keep up with demand and although we do book these deliveries as next day services, the carriers cannot always fulfil these and an extra day may be required. Whether you are a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, we have the tools and materials you need to achieve a perfect silicone joint every time. I bought some expanding foam and, if you’re reading this you probably know the differences in quality of this kind of product. Backer-rod is an extruded closed cell expanded polyethylene cord which is CFC and HCFC free and does not absorb moisture.It allows the volume of sealant or mastic used to be minimized and reduce overall cost as well as allowing the user to obtain the optimum sealant shape or design, which prevents joint failure.
