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 makers of Trex® Seal™ Ledger Tape have introduced a new butyl tape engineered specifically for use beneath 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.
This new sub-ledger offering features similar performance features and benefits as the award-winning Trex Seal Ledger Tape in a wider product designed for this specific application. Reinforced with an aluminum liner, the self-adhering, butyl-based tape covers the entire surface beneath 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.
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. Its 22-inch 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. For more information, visit TrexSeal.com.
