PorcelQuick Grout Backer Rod is a flexible, compressible closed cell polyethylene foam cord, used to support grout in the open joints. As the space between Adpeds will be open the grout would fall through these gaps, so the Grout Backer Rod acts as a barrier, holding the grout in place during the installation and curing process. PorcelQuick Grout Backer Rod is available in 3 diameters; 6mm, 10mm & 13mm, and is sold by the metre.

The PorcelQuick Adped is used to create the pedestal base that the tile will be stuck on to using adhesive. Made from strong yet lightweight plastic, the Adped can be snapped to create a half or quarter circles to fit edges and corners. Once filled with a mixture of fast setting cement and sharp sand the Adped will harden and can be stacked up to 3 Adpeds high.

Each Adped measures 25mm high with a bottom diameter of 250mm and a top diameter of 240mm.

As the diameter of the Grout Backer Rod is wider than the joint it needs to be gently forced into position. Similar in design to a pizza cutter, our Grout Backer Rod Insertion Tools allow you to quickly and easily install the Grout Backer Rod into the joint and begin grouting. A simple plastic Manual Tool is available, as well as a Professional Tool Set.
