DECKING
CREATE A USEABLE
LIVING SPACE BELOW
YOUR DECK
WITH REVOLUTIONARY TREX RAINESCAPE ®
The new Trex RainEscape®
system allows homeowners and
developers to maximise outdoor
living environments and create the
dream space. Trex RainEscape deck
drainage system manages water
to allow for a dry, useable space
beneath an elevated deck.
Installed above the joists of the
substructure, this innovative system
features a trough and downspout
construction that drains water away
from a deck and protects the area
below from rain, sun, snow melt
and other elements. As a result,
homeowners gain bonus space for
storage or added living area. With
Trex RainEscape, homeowners can
safely outfit the area under a deck
with outdoor furnishings, lighting,
ceiling fans and entertainment
components.
“Trex RainEscape is ideally suited
to the often wet UK climate,” noted
Adam Zambanini, vice president of
marketing for Trex Company. “With
this simple system, homeowners can
create a useable patio area below
their deck where they can enjoy
their gardens in all seasons and
weather.”
Unlike competitive products – which
make use of “under joist” technology
– Trex RainEscape is installed
above the joists, protecting them
from moisture, water damage and
deterioration that may occur over
time and ensuring the structural
integrity of the deck. The system
is easy and efficient to install on
both new and existing decks –
making it an ideal solution for both
contractors and do-it-yourselfers.
The Trex RainEscape system is an
easy and inexpensive addition to
any elevated deck. Components
include a 3.66m and 4.88m
drainage trough sheet, a down
spout, butyl waterproof caulk,
102mm x 15.24m butyl waterproof
tape, 102mm x 102mm post flash,
and 3.2mm x 25.4mm x 7.6m wall
flash. Furthermore, only three
tools – scissors or a utility knife,
a staple gun hammer and a caulk
gun – are required for installation.
For even more peace of mind, Trex
RainEscape is backed by a 20-year
Limited Warranty.
