The Top 5 FAQs
Q. How do I clean my deck?
A. Trex decking is designed for a low-maintenance experience. A simple soap-and-water clean is all it takes.
Q. Why is composite decking better than wood?
A. Trex products offer superior durability and performance that you can't get from wood. Trex decking resists termites, won't rot, warp, or splinter-and never needs staining or painting. What's more, Trex decking is made from 95% recycled materials: That's an eco-friendly decking choice you can feel great about.
Q. If Trex is made from recycled materials, why is it more expensive than wood?
A. While most of the raw materials used in making Trex are recycled, these materials are carefully processed to ensure the highest level of quality and performance. The end result is decking that performs better than wood, lowering your cost over time through lesser maintenance.
Q. What is the lifetime value of composite decking?
A. With pressure-treated wood decks, maintenance costs add up over time. Although Trex costs more initially, you'll never have to sand, stain or paint your Trex deck. Over the life of your deck, those reduced maintenance costs add up to a greater value than wood—not to mention the value of the added time spent enjoying your deck rather than working on it.
Q. How long does composite decking last?
A. Trex materials come with specific warranties, but it doesn’t mean they won’t last longer. When Trex launched its original product in 1998 it came with a 10-year warranty. This product is still installed in many homes and looks great after more than 25 years. There have been many improvements in their current products and the material now is a coextruded shell that protects the board from the weather, making them last even longer than our early materials.
