Vycor Deck Protector is a self-adhered membrane, formulated and tested to solve the problems of joist rot and deck corrosion. By covering the tops of deck joists with Vycor Deck Protector, it creates an excellent barrier against water and moisture penetration to prevent joist rot and wood decay. In addition, Vycor Deck Protector is a great solution to the corrosion problem. By installing it where the metal connectors/fasteners come into contact with the pressure-treated wood, the membrane creates a barrier between the copper (in the wood) and the zinc (in the metal). Vycor Deck Protector represents a fast and inexpensive solution that significantly reduces corrosion rates of galvanized connectors to the historical levels of CCA wood. Vycor Deck Protector represents a fast, effective and inexpensive way to significantly extend the useful life of decks.

Skid-resistant coating for foot traffic during installation

Q:would this protect painted steel beams

Answer This Question
A:Â It is designed to keep water from standing on the tops of wood beams. It should do the same for steel beams. It will not protect against all moisture, from all sides. But it will help keep whatever it is applied to dry.

I used this product to wrap a deck joist system...
I used this product to wrap a deck joist system that is about 40 years old. I was pleasantly surprised that the structure was still in good standings, yet I wanted to protect it for the future. The product when on smoothly, however, didn't stick to all joist beams. I would recommend this product and will be using it again on our back deck which is the same age.

Just redid my deck and used this deck protector on my old joists. Seems like a very good product. Very sticky at 40 degree temps. Gets even more sticky as temps heat up. It rained a few times before I got my new deck boards installed and you could see the water sitting on top of the tape, so it’s definitely repelling the water. This should definitely increase the life of my deck. Overall very happy.

4 inch Vycor deck protect works very well for us,...
4 inch Vycor deck protect works very well for us, and we’ve been using it now for the last 2 years, very pleased with the results but the true test will be after 30 years of application so looking forward to seeing it then.
Sincerely,
Mark

This is a great product for protecting my deck joists on my new deck build! This seemed to be a new version which had some texture to it which was nice because when I bought this previously about a year ago it was very slick and made walking on the joists during construction pretty dangerous.

This product adhered well to the joists for the deck I was building and was easy to work with. I'd purchase it again for a similar project.
