Trex Decking: An Innovative Choice for Your Ideal Deck
Trex decking is a popular choice for homeowners looking for an easy-to-maintain deck surface that mimics the wood-like grain pattern of traditional wood decking. With its luxury colors and luxurious multi-tonal grain patterns, Trex decking offers a high level of performance and durability that surpasses pressure-treated lumber.
We love bringing your custom deck design ideas to life using Trex deck boards for all those reasons.
What Makes Trex Decking Special?
Trex revolutionized deck building in the United States when Roger Wittenberg combined recycled plastic bags and wood fibers to create a composite decking material, paving the way for sustainable, low-maintenance outdoor living spaces.
Trex is a superior decking product. Period. As one Ohio couple told us, they learned their lesson about using wood after their deck deteriorated much quicker than they thought it should. They chose Trex for their new one.
Wood decks take a beating during Ohio’s winters, which can see mild temperatures one day and freezing rain the next, followed by a snowstorm and high winds.
Where a wood deck can last 15 to 25 years, Trex offers warranties for up to 50 years. When you build your deck with Trex, you will never need to replace it. You might want to add features, but you will not need to replace the deck.
If you are looking for an easy-to-maintain, wood-like grain pattern with vibrant colors for your deck, look to Trex.
