ENSURE THE LIFE OF YOUR DECK
WITH TREX ® PROTECT ™
Today’s high-performance composite deck
boards, like those from Trex, are warranted
to last for 25 years or longer. But what about
the substructure material underneath?
If the posts and beams that support the
deck are made of wood, they are likely
to deteriorate long before the decking
warranty elapses. Now, there is a simple
and cost-effective solution to combatting
the damaging effects of nature and time.
Trex® Protect™ Joist and Beam Tape 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.
LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS
Trex Protect works by shielding the tops of
joists, rim joists, ledger boards and beams
from moisture. It also acts as a barrier
between wood and galvanized metal
commonly used in construction hardware
such as joist hangers. Additionally, Trex
Protect seals deck fasteners and helps
deck screws hold longer and stronger
by preventing moisture penetration and
defending against splitting that can result
from seasonal freezing and thawing.
Available in two widths 4.13cm for joists and 7.94cm for beams – Trex Protect works on
horizontal and vertical surfaces and is applied as a ‘cap’ (vs. wrapping), which allows the
wood to breathe.
