The solution for extending the life of your joists
BITUDECK® is a waterproofing strip consisting of a thick layer of bitumen covered by a matt black HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) film. It is sold in rolls of 10lm and covers approximately 4m² of decking.
Its 75mm width means it can cover all types of joist. It can be applied between +15°C and +35°C, on an unfrozen surface, but is easier to handle in hot weather.
This strip will considerably extend the life of your wooden joists, even more if they are well ventilated and protected from any standing water.
Installation of BITUDECK® tape
1.5 mm thick
75 mm wide
100% waterproof protection
Wood deck joists are subject to water run-off on their upper surface. Sensitive areas of water stagnation can develop over time, leading to rot or fungal growth. Effective protection of their surface to make them watertight will extend their life.
It effectively protects the joists of the structure from rain run-off. This guarantees the watertightness of the terrace and therefore its lifespan.
The Bitudeck® waterproofing strip, with its bitumen-based composition, prevents any infiltration onto the surface of the joists. The tips of the decking screws become twisted with bitumen as they penetrate the joist, providing a much more effective waterproofing point than a simple EPDM strip.
Increases the lifespan of joists
Resistance that stands the weathering
Its special composition based on elastomeric bitumen and resins offers a number of advantages to ensure the longevity of the installation. It resists tearing, deformation, temperature variations (-20°C to +50°C), bad weather, UV, corrosion and water vapor. The joists are protected to last as long as your boards, or even longer...
Reduces sound impact
BITUDECK® reduces sound resonance considerably: the sound impact of a shoe is greater on wood than on stone. The use of Bitudeck® tape halves the noise between the structural parts and the decking, just like a resilient strip.
A self-adhesive tape that's easy to apply
BITUDECK® tape is applied cold, preferably at a temperature above 10°C. Ideally, it should be applied between +15 and +35 degrees. Remove the protective strip on the underside of the self-adhesive part.
The self-adhesive part makes it easy to position on the joist, but the heat will melt the butyl and strengthen the adhesion over time.
