Imagine a deck that stays stunning, year after year, with virtually zero maintenance and no worries about rot, splinters, or fading in the sun. That’s the power of Trex decking – the ultimate outdoor solution for homeowners who want a beautiful, long-lasting space without the headache of constant upkeep. Whether hosting family gatherings, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or just soaking in the view, Trex decking gives you more time to enjoy your outdoor space and less time to maintain it.
With Trex decking, you’re not just getting a deck but investing in a durable, eco-friendly, and maintenance-free lifestyle. Why settle for the hassle of wood when you can have the superior performance of Trex decking?
What is Trex Decking?
Trex decking is a composite decking product made from a unique blend of wood fibers and plastic. This material is engineered to mimic the look and feel of traditional wood but without the typical drawbacks of warping, rotting, and splintering. The core of Trex decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastics, resulting in a sustainable, durable material.
Trex vs. Traditional Wood Decking
When comparing Trex decking to traditional wood decking, several key differences stand out:
| Feature | Trex Decking | Traditional Wood Decking |
| Durability | Resistant to mold, rot, termites, and weather damage. | Prone to warping, rotting, and insect infestations. |
| Maintenance | Requires minimal cleaning and occasional maintenance. | Requires frequent staining, sealing, and sanding. |
| Lifespan | It can last up to 50 years with proper care. | Typically, it lasts 10–15 years with appropriate care. |
| Environmental Impact | Made from 95% recycled materials. | Deforestation concerns; use non-sustainable practices. |
| Color & Finish | Retains vibrant color with no fading, cracking, or peeling. | Fades and deteriorates quickly with exposure to the elements. |
Impressive Warranties: Trex decking is backed by robust warranties: 25 years for Enhance®, 35 years for Select®, and 50 years for Transcend®, Transcend® Lineage®, and Signature®. These extended warranties offer peace of mind and protect your deck for decades.
