About Supreme Backer Rods

Our Supreme Backer Rods are crosslinked polyethylene, closed cell, fire retardant, and non-fibrous. These are environmentally friendly material for spandrel insulation in various buildings with glass facades. They effectively prevent heat from the glass facade from percolating into the spandrel region, so ensuring a consistent temperature control throughout the structure and conserving energy. The offered product is a superior alternative to Glass Wool.

Versatile Joint Filler for Multiple Applications

Supreme Backer Rods are widely used in joint filling, sealant backing, and expansion or contraction joints for a variety of construction projects. Their flexibility and strength make them ideal for providing a stable base and optimal depth control for sealants. Whether you need support for concrete joints, window frames, or precast panels, their customizable sizes ensure compatibility with numerous applications.

Superior Material Performance and Durability

Crafted from closed-cell polyethylene foam, Supreme Backer Rods are designed for long-lasting durability and exceptional performance. Their impressive thermal conductivity range and resistance to water and chemicals mean they stand up to harsh conditions. With indefinite shelf life under standard storage, these rods remain effective for as long as you need.

Safe and Easy Installation Process

The installation process for Supreme Backer Rods is straightforward-simply insert the rod into the joint to the required depth before applying the sealant. This simple step ensures depth control, enhances the sealant's performance, and prevents three-sided adhesion. Their plain, smooth surface enables quick handling, and there's no need for additional coatings or adhesives.
