Today I have a balcony on an extension where there is standing seam metal. I plan to lay a wooden floor to avoid stepping on the metal. I'm thinking of angle-cutting the joists due to the slope before laying the decking so that the floor is level. But my concern is, I want some type of rubber membrane or similar between the joists and the metal to protect the metal. Does anyone have tips on what I can use?
 
yes, maybe it could work
do you know if it is available to buy in local hardware stores?
 
GS-bygg is truly a local construction store, with good prices and good service.

But you probably have to get comfortable with finding the product in your area yourself!

Should I interpret your "yes might be able to work" as a thank you for the help?
 
yeah I saw later that it was a local hardware store, it just wasn't in my area,
I guess I will take a trip and look around here,
forgive me, you should of course be thanked for the help:)
 
I think this strip is good, I have it myself under the sill in my little stable. And it should be exactly what you need to protect the sheet metal. And it probably costs only a fraction of what the more advanced sill sealings go for.

Tip: Call GS and ask for the supplier, so that way you can find a local retailer.

Another thought, if we're brainstorming: It looks suspiciously like a so-called sleeping pad, just 4 mm thick. Buy one of those at a discount store and cut into strips, and you're all set!
 
is how it is permanent so it doesn't weather away when it has to be outdoors in weather and wind.
