What Material is Placed Between Steel and Treated Lumber to Protect The Steel?  

Question:

What tape do I use to protect the steel frame from pressure treated lumber? Will any butyl based flashing tape work?

Expert Reply:

You will want to use something like the Alpha Systems Mylar-Backed Butyl Tape # AL26FJ where your pressure treated lumber comes in to contact with steel. This will stick to the steel and helps to prevent the moisture and the chemicals from the wood contacting and causing corrosion on the steel.
