Carbon Fiberglass Rodding – Benefits and Uses
Rodding for granite, marble and natural stone countertops is extremely important – strong rodding means less chance of countertop failure after prolonged use. Weha offers two different kinds of fiberglass rodding – whether you’re using granite, natural stone, engineered stone, quartz, or marble.
Why is carbon fiberglass rodding better than any other type of rodding? Carbon fiberglass rodding is the strongest rodding in the stone industry, without the concern of rust. Made with the highest concentration of fiberglass strands throughout the entire profile, the Weha carbon granite rodding, in itself, much stronger than traditional white fiberglass rodding for stone.
Advantages of Carbon Fiberglass Rodding
Weha carbon fiberglass rodding is specifically designed with multiple grooves that run the length of each side of the rodding. These adhesive grooves are made to allow maximum locking bond and adhesion to the glue. This adds additional strength to the carbon fiberglass rodding.
One of the best adhesives to use with this rodding is the Rodmaster 6600, a two-part methacrylate adhesive specifically designed for rodding natural stone. It offers extreme durability in adverse weather condition and exceptional flexibility to withstand cracking from extreme temperature changes.
Other benefits of Weha carbon fiberglass rodding include, but are not limited to:
