Today\u2019s high-performance composite deck boards, like those from Trex, are warranted to last for 25+ years. But what about the substructure underneath? If the posts and beams that support the deck are made of wood, they may deteriorate long before the decking warranty elapses. Now, there is a simple and cost-effective solution to combat the damaging effects of nature and time. Trex\u00ae Protect\u2122 Joist and Beam Tape, available in two widths \u2013 4.13cm and 7.94cm, is a self-adhesive butyl tape designed to protect wooden joists and beams from moisture that can lead to rot, wood decay and the loosening of deck screws and fasteners. Trex Protect allows wood to breathe and won\u2019t bleed, dry out as quickly, or curl up and hold water like many asphalt-based tapes.<\/p>\n
