Flashing tape will hold water, and also help seal around screw holes and fasteners, to help prevent cracks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The three main choices for deck flashing tape are butyl, asphalt or bitumen.

Bitumen, made from petroleum and asphalt, will dry out over time, reducing the effectiveness of flashing. That leaves butyl or acrylic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Butyl rubber tape has many advantages over an acrylic-based tape:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is stickier<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It endures less stain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It has less high-temperature oozing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It can be applied in a wide range of temperatures<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is more rubbery than acrylic-based tape, allowing it to flow better around the deck screws and deck fasteners to create a tighter seal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The net result: butyl tape provides superior weatherproofing for the timber foundation of your deck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"blog-header\">The Longevity of Deck Flashing Tape<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You want a butyl adhesive that will last as long as your bearers and joists.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2139 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-1536x991.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/new-joist-beam-labels-AUSTRALIAN-2048x1322.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Trex Protect<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is guaranteed to withstand the test of time. It comes with a 25-year warranty, so it lasts as long as the decking it supports. Acrylic tape comes with only a 300-day warranty.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The average deck begins to experience water damage within 8 to 10 years. High-performance Trex Protect fights the rot and guards against costly future water damage \u2014 at a low cost. Protecting an average-size deck measuring 3.5m x 7.5m will require approximately five rolls of Trex Protect Bearer tape and one roll of Trex Protect Bearer Tape. For less than a $200 investment, your deck substructure can last as long as the decking it supports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As with any item you are buying, cost comparisons alone may not be the right approach to selecting the best joist and bearer tape. It would help if you considered the full cost to protect your deck, which involves not only the price you pay but the quality of the tape. Bearer flashing tape is like your insurance policy on your deck substructure, so while you don\u2019t want to bust your budget, you also don\u2019t want to skimp on quality to get a slightly lower price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Installation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Contractors or DIYers will tell you to buy a butyl tape that is easy to install and requires little trimming. A self-adhesive butyl tape that lies directly on the boards requires minimum cuts with little overlap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When applying bearer tape to your bearers and joists, you want to be sure to purchase a tape that is not too thin and not too thick. With thin tape, you risk long-term durability of the tape. A thick tape can be difficult to install. Trex Protect is available in two widths: 40 mm x 20 m for joists and 100 mm x 20 m for bearers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To find out exactly how much Trex Protect\u00ae Joist &amp; Bearer Tape your project requires, use our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/trexprotect.com\/au\/materials-estimator\/\">Materials Estimator<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"blog-header\">Step-by-Step Installation Instructions<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Installing self-adhering bearer tape is a relatively simple process, with four main steps.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Begin by preparing your surface.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Apply Trex Protect Joist &amp; Bearer Tape to horizontal and vertical surfaces. This peel and stick flashing has two widths making it convenient to apply to double bearers and joists. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For best results, install Trex Protect Tape when the temperature range is 10\u02daC or greater.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When pulling deck boards onto the deck, use a piece of plywood or wafer board to overhang the edge of the deck. This method will prevent the product from rolling up and pulling up from the joist.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Clean the Joist Surface, <\/span><\/strong>making sure it is dry and free of debris.<\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> <strong>Remove the backing while applying the tape directly<\/strong><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;to the surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> <strong>Cut the tape to length <\/strong>with<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;a utility knife or scissors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don\u2019t let timber rot become the enemy of your beautiful outdoor living experience.
