Smart and sophisticated decking solutions with Trex composite Trex is the world’s number one brand of premium decking and railing. Made from 95% recycled materials, it is eco-friendly and guaranteed to look like new for decades. Offering designers and homeowners alike the opportunity to create a truly unique and customised outdoor space, Trex Transcend composite decking combines a finish that resists stains, scratches and mould with a distinctive and natural-looking, wood-grain pattern in deep, saturated colours inspired by the great outdoors. The newly launched Trex RainEscape drainage system offers homeowners the chance to maximise their outdoor living environments and create a useable space beneath an elevated deck. Installed above the joists of the substructure, this innovative system drains water away from a deck and protects the area below from rain, sun, snowmelt and other elements. As a result, homeowners gain bonus space for storage or an added living area. With Trex RainEscape, homeowners can safely outfit the area under a deck. The Enhance decking collection is part of Trex’s tiered decking line- up that allows contractors and homeowners to choose the perfect product for any project. With its CustomCurve decking solution, Trex boards can be bent to create dramatic shapes, sweeping curves and a harmonious flow to suit every space no matter the size or shape of the garden. Gone are the days of simple square decks and basic slab patios, as Trex CustomCurve raises any outdoor living project into a work of art. Finally, new for 2019, the new Trex Enhance range provides trade professionals and homeowners with a high-performance, lower-cost deck board designed to compete more directly with timber. Delivering the beauty of wood with the confidence of composite by combining premium aesthetics with superior durability and ultra-low maintenance – all at an attainable price point. Available in a variety of shades, there is one to suit every outdoor space. 95 Unlike wood, composite decking resists fading and won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter, regardless of daily wear and tear. The boards will even retain their good looks after years of wet British winters and summers. Visit www.trex.com/uk for more information on Trex products.
