Trex composite decking offers several advantages over traditional wood decking. First, Trex is virtually maintenance-free. Unlike wood, it doesn't require sanding, sealing, staining, or painting. Second, Trex is highly durable and resistant to fading, staining, and mold. This means it will look great for years to come without the need for constant upkeep. Finally, Trex is designed to last longer than wood. While wooden decks typically have a lifespan of 10-15 years, Trex can last for decades. These factors make Trex a superior choice for those seeking a durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing decking material.

Trex offers a range of decking and railing options that can be curved to create custom designs. To find a professional in your area who specializes in curved profiles, use Manufacturer’s Find a Builder tool. For those planning curved railing, Trex Signature Curved Railing page provides design and ordering guidance. Please note that Trex Signature decking is not recommended for heating and curving due to its unique composition.

Trex decking is designed to last for many years. The warranty varies depending on the collection: Transcend lines have a 50-year warranty, Select has a 35-year warranty, and Enhance Naturals and Basics have a 25-year warranty. To ensure your deck lasts as long as possible, it's important to follow the installation guidelines and maintain the substructure properly. By doing so, you can help to extend the life of your deck and enjoy its benefits for many years to come.

Trex decking is warranted for 25, 35, and 50 years, depending upon the collection used. All three Transcend lines are backed by a 50-year limited warranty; Select a 35-year limited warranty, and both Enhance Naturals and Basics come with a 25-year limited warranty. When installing the deck boards, it is important to follow the installation guidelines, in part so you don’t void the warranty.. You’ll extend the life of your deck by giving care to your substructure as well.

The estimated material cost for a composite deck, including substructure, decking, hardware, and fasteners, typically ranges from $15 to $30 per square foot. For a more accurate estimate for your specific project, we recommend using the Manufacturer’s online cost calculator tool and guide.

Composite decking can become hot due to sun exposure or weather, just like other outdoor surfaces. To avoid extended contact with the hot deck surface, especially on hot days, it's recommended to wear shoes or take breaks. If you live in a hotter climate, consider choosing a lighter color or one of the Lineage deck boards. The Transcend Lineage line features heat-mitigating technology, making it the coolest decking option.

Trex decking has a moderate traction level and can become slippery when wet, just like other outdoor surfaces. To prevent accidents, exercise caution when walking on the deck during rainy, icy, or snowy conditions. Use rock salt or calcium chloride to prevent ice or snow buildup. As soon as possible, rinse the deck and clean it with warm soapy water to remove any residue.

Composite decking has revolutionized the way outdoor living spaces are built. While wood was once the primary choice, composite materials have gained popularity due to their low maintenance and luxurious appearance. Trex composite decking is made sustainably from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and polyethylene film. Unlike pressure-treated lumber, Trex decking doesn't splinter, rot, or decay and requires no sanding, staining, or painting. With budget-friendly options comparable to pressure-treated wood, it's worth considering why you would choose anything else.

The best decking material depends on how you plan to use your outdoor space. Consider the amount of wear and tear your deck will experience, such as foot traffic, pet activity, grilling, and heavy furniture movement. If your deck will receive a lot of use, Transcend decking offers the highest level of scratch resistance. For budget-conscious options, the entry-level Enhance collection is a competitive choice.

Trex Transcend is the premium decking line, offering the luxurious appearance of exotic wood with the durability and versatility of composite materials. Featuring a realistic wood-grain texture and 12 colors across the Lineage, Tropicals, and Earth Tones collections, Transcend provides endless possibilities for creating your dream backyard.

With exceptional scratch resistance, Transcend is ideal for spaces with pets or high foot traffic. Trex decking is not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally friendly. It is sustainably made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and recycled plastic film. By choosing Trex decking, you can contribute to a more sustainable future.
