TREX JOIST & BEAM TAPE INSTALLATION

PREPARATION

» Trex Protect Joist & Beam Tape

can be applied to horizontal

and vertical surfaces.

» Trex Protect Tape has two widths

making it convenient to apply to

double beams and joists. Use

1–5/8” (4.13 cm) Joist Tape for

joists and 3–1/8” (7.94 cm)

Beam Tape on all double beams.

» For best results, the Trex Protect

Tape should be installed when

temperatures are 50˚F (10˚C)

or greater.

If installing in cold weather or

when joists are wet, staple Trex

Protect to hold it in place while

attaching the deck boards.

The tape will seal when the

product warms above 40˚F

(4.5˚C).

» When pulling deck boards onto the

deck, a piece of plywood or wafer

board can be used to overhang the

edge of the deck. This will prevent

the product from rolling up and

pulling up from the joist.
