Trex RainEscape is easy and efficient to install – whether during a new deck build or when replacing existing deck boards . The entire system includes just five SKUs – a 40cm and 30cm drainage trough sheet , a downspout , butyl waterproof caulk and butyl waterproof tape . Additionally , only three tools – scissors or a utility knife , a staple gun hammer and a caulk gun – are needed for installation . Each trough is clearly labeled with staple markers to expedite the process , which takes no more than a few hours to complete . And , the system is backed by a 20-year warranty from Trex ® – the world ’ s # 1 decking brand .
3 . DECK LIGHTING
Another “ bright ” idea for adding value to a deck project is with lighting . Dimmable LED lights incorporated into railing post caps and stair risers can increase safety while also enhancing ambiance and extending the time that homeowners can spend enjoying their outdoor space . And don ’ t forget to illuminate the space beneath the deck with soffit lights . The makers of Trex RainEscape offer plug-andplay lighting components that integrate seamlessly with the drainage system and with other Trex Outdoor Lighting components .

While these add-ons may seem minor , they can have a major impact on customer satisfaction and your bottom line – especially during a season as busy as this one promises to be .
