DECKING
25 and 50-year Limited Residential Warranties Trex is designed to withstand decades of weather and foot traffic. Each of its decking ranges are covered by Limited Residential Warranties.
The warranties state that- if correctly installed – boards will not split, splinter, fade, stain or suffer structural rot or damage from fungal decay.
About Trex Founded in the US in 1996, Trex pioneered and perfected composite decking. The company entered the UK market in 2011 and today supplies more than 300 merchants nationwide.
Designed to be different, all Trex’ s boards are engineered to be highperformance and low-maintenance. Created from up to 95 % recycled and reclaimed materials, each board incorporates a durable outer shell covering three sides of the board to protect against splitting and cracking, delivering unmatched durability. Trex can also be submerged and is designed to resist water.
For more than 30 years, commercial and residential professionals have turned to Trex to help create enviable outdoor spaces that last. Deck installers across the country can join the company’ s nationwide network of TrexPro ® installers, consisting of independent contractors who are passionate about Trex and the work they deliver.
In addition to decking, Trex offers a range of outdoor living products in the UK including railing and lighting. Also available for installers is Trex ® Protect™- a deck joist tape designed to protect subframes from moisture, and Trex ® RainEscape ®- an underdeck drainage system that captures and diverts water from underneath decking to prevent water build-up and puddling.
* Trex SunComfortable decking stays cooler than our original boards, but like all decking, it will get hot in direct sun, especially darker colours. Care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
* 2Based on laboratory testing simulating direct full summer sun exposure over an extended period. Colours used are Lava Rock( without SunComfortable) and Salt Flat( with SunComfortable). Actual temperature reduction may vary depending on environmental conditions, colour and usage. Trex decking with SunComfortable technology will still get hot when high temperatures and sun converge. Care should be taken on such days to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface.
