Trex FAQs

While Trex decking may have a higher initial cost than traditional wood, its long-term cost efficiency makes it a better investment. Trex decking requires little maintenance—no sanding, staining, or sealing—while wood decking requires ongoing care, which can add up over time. Trex also has a longer lifespan (up to 50 years) compared to wood, which typically lasts 10-15 years, saving you money in repairs and replacements in the long run.
While Trex decking does get warmer than traditional wood under direct sunlight, it generally stays cooler than darker wood or other composite materials. Trex decking features CoolDeck Technology in some product lines (like Trex Transcend®), which helps reduce surface temperatures by reflecting more sun heat. If you’re concerned about heat, we can help you choose the best color and design to minimize heat retention on your deck.
When selecting a Trex decking color, consider the aesthetic of your home and surroundings. Lighter shades like Foggy Wharf from Trex Enhance® are great for warmer climates and create a bright, airy feel. Darker colors like Spiced Rum from Trex Transcend® add depth and are perfect for modern or luxury homes. You should also consider color durability and how it complements other materials like railings, furniture, and landscaping.
While it is technically possible to install Trex decking yourself, we recommend hiring a professional Trex Pro Gold Certified installer like Back to Nature for the best results. Trex decking requires precise installation to ensure the boards are correctly spaced, fastened, and aligned for optimal performance. Improper installation can void the warranty and lead to unnecessary maintenance issues.
