Innovative New Deck Frame Coating Extends Deck Life With Easy Installation

Fas­ten­Mas­ter, a divi­sion of OMG Inc., has intro­duced its Deck Frame Coat­ing, a water-based sealant that helps to extend the life of decks by cre­at­ing a last­ing mois­ture barrier.

The new coat­ing is designed to be rolled or paint­ed onto the top of deck joists, ledger boards, stair stringers, posts, beams, and oth­er fram­ing com­po­nents, and serves to deter wood rot and decay. After appli­ca­tion it’s work­able in 20 min­utes, so it won’t slow down deck­ing PROs dur­ing instal­la­tion. Once dry, the coat­ing cre­ates a durable seal around deck fas­ten­ers. In addi­tion, it is high­ly effec­tive for use in cor­ners and oth­er hard-to-reach places where joist tapes have dif­fi­cul­ty pro­vid­ing full coverage.

“When it comes to deck­ing, PROs look to Fas­ten­Mas­ter for state-of-the-art prod­ucts that enhance job­site pro­duc­tiv­i­ty,” said John McMa­hon, Deck­ing Busi­ness Unit Direc­tor for Fas­ten­Mas­ter. ​“This new Deck Frame Coat­ing gets them work­ing faster and with more pro­duc­tiv­i­ty com­pared to joist tape, which is very expen­sive and labor inten­sive to install.”

Fas­ten­Mas­ter Deck Frame Coat­ing is avail­able in 1‑gallon (3.7 L) buck­ets, which cov­ers up to 450 lin­ear feet (137.2 m) of 2x fram­ing. Fas­ten­Mas­ter Deck Frame Coat­ing is water-based, does not con­tain any VOCs or sol­vents, and is non-flammable.
