Closed Cell
A closed-cell backer rod is a type of insulation resistant to water and can be installed quickly. It is typically used in the construction of walls and roofs. Unlike its open-cell counterpart, closed-cell backer rods have a solid, water and air-repellent built. These materials remain dry all the time and fill gaps between materials.
Bi-Cellular
A bi-cellular backer rod is an insulation product used for the insulation of pipes and other risers. It is a type of closed-cell foam product that is typically injected into the exposed space of a mould and then cured.
These backer rods have a high thermal resistance and have high water resistance. The backer rods are made from cellulose, plastic, or rubber.
Open Cell
An open-cell backer rod is a piece of rubber with a rectangular cross-section that is used for various purposes. Originally, they were used to provide insulation in the form of a sealant for mechanical joints, such as those found in plumbing. Then, open-cell backer rods became popular for use as a sealant in window and door frames and as roofing sealants. Professionals can use them to fill gaps around pipes and create a seal.
