Is Trex® Decking a Better Alternative to Wood?

What is Trex® Decking? 

Trex® decking is the most popular brand of wood-alternative synthetic decking and durable, splinter-free deck railing systems with handrail components. It is made from high-quality materials and offers a beautiful, sleek look. Trex® Decking is exceptionally versatile. Trex Transcend® decking comes in a variety of colors, including tropical-wood colors, and is just one of several great lines of synthetic decking that Trex® manufactures. Other lines include:

  • Trex Transcend®
  • Trex Enhance®
  • Trex Escapes®

What are the benefits of Trex® Decking? 

The biggest pro to having Distinctive Deck Designs install Trex® decking is the fact that you’ll never have to worry about splinters or warping of the wood. Since your deck will be made from synthetic materials, it will look flawless all year-long and be safe for your family and pets.

Trex® decking is also low maintenance, which is a big plus for homeowners. A good scrub at the beginning of spring will help keep it shiny and clean. You won’t have to utilize potentially harmful chemicals to keep your natural wood deck in good shape.

Trex® material also stays much cooler to the touch than wood. Enjoy a barefoot stroll on your deck in the summertime and be completely comfortable. Let your kids and pets spend time on your deck without

Besides being versatile in the number of different shades it comes in, Trex® decking can also be cut, routed, and grooved just like real wood boards. Distinctive Deck Designs prides itself on providing you with completely customizable deck design, and Trex® decking offers us the ability to create uniquely curved designs to match your vision perfectly.

Trex® Decking tends to be more eco-friendly since it’s made from recycled materials and the process of manufacturing it is less damaging to the environment than that of treating real wood.
