The enjoyment of a Trex deck is truly timeless.
The combination of reclaimed wood and plastic in Trex products offers the best qualities of both these materials. The plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage, so there's no rotting or splintering. The wood in the product protects the plastic from UV damage and provides your deck a solid, natural feel. Trex deck owners don't have to worry about costly and time-consuming sealing, staining, or replacing damaged deck boards, and it looks great year after year.

Trex Advantages over Wood Deck Surfaces

• Will not rot or deteriorate due to harsh weather
• Available in three finishes — smooth, wood grain or tropical hardwood
• Splinter-free
• Contains no toxic chemicals or preservatives
• Resists moisture, insects and sunlight
• The perfect choice for pools, hot tub, spas
• Excellent traction, even when wet

Trex® offers a full range of rich colors to consider when planning your deck - making your design options truly limitless. Mix and match colors to create unique patterns and color combinations all your own.

Trex decking is a very popular wood and plastic composite. The Trex process is supported by patented technology and developed know-how. With field installations nearly a decade old, Trex decking and railing is a proven performer. Our national building code listing by the three major U.S. building code agencies is unequalled by any other non-wood decking alternative.

The Trex colors' weathering process is normal and does not harm the product.
Because of its wood content, natural color shifts do occur in Trex products. Twelve to sixteen weeks of exposure to sunlight and rain are typically required for Trex to achieve its faded color. This process is completely harmless to Trex products and does not affect their durability.

The "after weathering" color of Trex may be different from the colors shown in the Trex Color Palette guide. There may also be color variation between boards. This is normal and gives Trex its distinctive look and character.

The weathering process may be accelerated in dry areas by periodically wetting down the deck using a garden hose. Areas in heavy shade, or vertical components such as posts and balusters, may take considerably longer to fade.

Note: On each color image below, on the left is the new color finish and on the right is the weathered color finish.

Trex Cleaning Tips

All exterior building materials require cleaning. We recommend basic cleaning with a composite deck cleaner or a combination of soap, hot water, and a soft bristle brush at the time of installation, and semi-annually (typically Spring and Fall) after the installation. This will help to maintain the beauty of Trex decking, fencing, railing, and outdoor trim.
