FAQs
Trex composite decking is built to last for decades, typically offering a 25-year lifespan or longer with proper care. The material is resistant to many of the issues that affect traditional wood, such as warping, rotting, and splintering.
Trex composite decking consists of a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic, providing a durable, eco-friendly material. The decking is capped with a protective layer that helps prevent stains and fading while also making it low maintenance.
Yes, Trex composite decking expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, as with most composite materials. To account for this natural movement, it?s essential to leave a gap between boards during installation. The recommended gap is 5mm to 8mm for end-to-end board spacing and 3mm to 5mm between side edges of the boards. These gaps ensure that the decking can expand and contract without causing buckling or warping.
While Trex composite decking is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Heavy furniture or sharp objects can cause scratches. Trex 's surface is designed to withstand normal wear, but it's advisable to avoid dragging furniture or sharp items across it.
Trex composite decking is designed to resist fading due to its durable, capped surface, but slight fading may occur over time due to exposure to the sun. However, it maintains its colour longer than many other decking options.
