However, the wood below the decking like the joists, beams, and rim joists are left exposed to the elements. Having this tape will eliminate splitting from freezing and thawing, additionally seals deck fasteners and prevents moisture. The tape being made from butyl helps deck screws hold longer and stronger than acrylic or asphalt-based tape.
