SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITE DECKING

When it comes to deck designs , more homeowners are thinking outside the box . Regardless of the size of the garden – or budget – Brits no longer feel confined to a basic square space . Remodelers , designers and architects report increased interest from clients in decks with multiple levels , accent walls , curves and cantilevers .
A great deck can add valuable space to a home , and materials matter . Designed to deliver incredible durability , easy maintenance and lasting beauty , Trex composite decking offers performance , sustainability and aesthetic benefits over timber , as well as other outdoor surface materials .
While aesthetics drive many deck-building decisions , homeowners across the country are just as interested in performance . Unlike timber , Trex composite decking resists fading , staining , scratching and mold – and won ’ t rot , warp , crack or splinter . No sanding , oiling or painting is required , and food and drink spills wash off easily with just soap and water . Plus , it ’ s made from 95 % recycled materials , so it ’ s an eco-friendly choice that clients can feel good about .
Featuring high-definition , grain patterns and rich , saturated colors , Trex decking offerings are nearly indistinguishable from timber textures . Available in a wider variety of color options , composite boards range from deep earth tones to spicy reds and pristine greys , including tropically-inspired boards that feature the distinct streaked look of exotic hardwoods .
