Backer Materials that Seal Things Right the First Time.

Backer Rod, Grip Strip, and Log Gap Cap all help you create the ideal joint design for a long-lasting, durable seal.

Closed-Cell Round 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.

Grip Strip is a closed-cell trapezoid-shaped product that, under normal use will not cause blisters in chinking material. The unique design provides an excellent fit with a flat surface within chink joint, resulting in saving on chinking. Can be used on exterior or interior surfaces.

Sealants and chinking do not adhere to the backer rod – only to the log surfaces of the joint – allowing for movement without damaging the sealing material.

The Sealant Made for Log Structures

Logs are in constant dynamic motion. That’s why there’s Log Builder, the sealant made for log structures. Stretches up to 500% of the original size, while still maintaining tenacious adhesion to the wood.

Since most logs move within the first few years after building due to moisture loss and shrinkage, it is crucial to start out caulking your log home using the right product. Log Builder stretches and compresses as logs move and stays elastic, ensuring that the elements and insects stay out of your log home for years to come.
