Fight Ledger Failure with New Trex® Seal™ Sub-Ledger Tape
23 Januar 2024 - 3:03PM
Waterproofing the ledger board is a critical step in preventing
moisture damage and ensuring the structural integrity of a deck
over time. To fully protect this essential component, the maker of
Trex® Seal™ Ledger Tape has introduced a new butyl tape engineered
specially for use behind the ledger board. Measuring 22-inches
wide, Trex® Seal™ Sub-Ledger Tape creates a continuous water-tight
seal between the ledger board and the house wrap to prevent water
from infiltrating the house.
“Ask any contractor where a deck is most likely to fail and,
chances are, they’ll point to the ledger board,” said Dave Kile,
CEO of IBP, LLC, which manufactures and markets deck waterproofing
products through a licensing agreement with Trex Company.
“If not correctly installed and protected, this single element can
be the downfall of a deck’s structure. By adding this extra layer
of moisture protection, professional deck builders can prevent
water from getting trapped between the ledger board and the
exterior wall of a home, reducing the likelihood of wood decay and
increasing the lifespan of the deck.”
Inspired by the success of the award-winning Trex Seal Ledger
Tape, the new sub-ledger offering features similar performance
features and benefits in a wider product designed for this specific
application. Reinforced with an aluminum liner, the 22” wide,
self-adhering, butyl-based tape fully covers the back of the ledger
board and integrates with the house wrap to provide a continuous
seal for optimal protection against moisture and water penetration.
It also creates a water-tight seal around ledger fasteners.
“When water seeps behind a ledger board, it can lead to mold,
rot and wood decay that can negatively impact not only the
structural integrity of the deck but the exterior of the home as
well,” noted Kile. “By using Trex Seal Sub-Ledger Tape in
conjunction with Trex Seal Ledger Tape, builders can fully protect
the ledger board on all sides to ensure homeowners optimal
longevity and enjoyment of their decks.”
Trex Seal Sub-Ledger Tape is designed for easy application with
a convenient triple-release liner that allows installers to bend
and set it in place without it flexing back like other flashing
tapes. It’s 22” width replaces the need to use multiple strips of
tape, saving valuable time on the job site. Additionally, it is
AAMA 711-13 compliant and is backed by a 25-year warranty.
“Whether constructing a new deck or replacing an existing one,
installing Trex Seal Sub-Ledger Tape is a simple process that takes
minutes but can add years onto the life of a deck,” added Kile.
Trex Seal Sub-Ledger Tape expands the Trex® portfolio of
moisture protection products, which also includes Trex® Protect
Joist & Beam Tape, Trex® Protect Rim Joist Tape, Trex Seal
Ledger Tape and the Trex® RainEscape® deck drainage system. All
five products are designed to prevent moisture penetration and
premature deterioration of wooden substructures and can be used
with any decking material. For more information about Trex Seal
