DECKING
An extra tip: don’ t take claims about sustainability at face value – it’ s worth looking beyond the marketing hype to understand what a manufacturer is actually doing to ensure their materials are responsibly sourced. Checking that the brand you’ re specifying is credible on this front will help you meet the expectations of the most eco-conscious clients.
5. Product and price range One of the biggest advantages of composite decking is the ability it gives you to match a client’ s vision to their budget.
This is much easier to achieve with a brand that offers a clear, tiered product range. For example, Trex’ s range progresses from the entrylevel Enhance ® Basics collection to the mid-range Enhance Naturals range, the premium Transcend and Transcend Lineage lines and the luxury Signature collection. Each step up brings enhanced aesthetics, greater durability and longer warranties, while still offering core features including easy upkeep and resistance to fading and staining *.
For clients, this means a budgetconscious project can still offer the benefits of performance and durability. At the higher end, photorealistic grain patterns and a broader choice of colours mean you can achieve a more refined, designled finish.
Having a range of collections to choose from also makes it easy for you to present options to clients transparently and explain what the differences in costs and features mean over the lifespan of the deck.
Discover Trex Inventing composite decking 30 years ago, Trex is now the world’ s number one decking brand, sold in more than 47 countries.
Designed to be different, all Trex’ s boards are engineered to be high performance and low maintenance and are created from up to 95 % recycled and reclaimed materials. In fact, Trex has never felled a single tree to create its decking.
2026 has seen Trex introduce two new colours to its UK range – Carmel, a light oak in its Transcend Lineage range, and Tide Pool, a soft, warm grey in Trex’ s Enhance collection, both of which incorporate Trex’ s innovative SunComfortable TM technology. Read more about them here.
