Dow Foam Filler Used for Water Features and Insulation

GREAT STUFF Pond & Stone Waterfall Foam Filler from The Dow Chemical Company can be shaped and molded to create backyard water features that help direct water flow over and around rocks in a waterfall, rather than under and in between.

Black in color, the product easily blends in with rocks and shadows and can fill, seal and adhere to other pieces. It is also safe for fish and recognized by the International Professional Pond Contractors Association.

Like other GREAT STUFF products, the waterfall filler creates a permanent, air-tight and water-resistant seal. A quicker and less expensive option than mortar, it can also be used to set and secure the cap stones in a retaining wall. The black polyurethane foam is designed to bond to rocks and stones.

Designed exclusively for construction trade professionals, GREAT STUFF PRO insulating foam sealants are the same as the original product line, but feature reusable application tools and larger canisters and can be applied at a wider range of temperatures.

Construction professionals can use GREAT STUFF PRO as a cost-effective solution for filling the gaps that fiberglass insulation does not, according to the manufacturer. The product completely “air tightens” the entire house by sealing and insulating all of the cracks and crevices that allow air to flow into and out of the house. It keeps the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Typical indoor and outdoor applications can be made throughout basements and attics, living space and home exteriors.

Headquartered in Midland, Mich., The Dow Chemical Company is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.
