Composite Decking by Trex: The Green Alternative to Wood

Last updated 1 year ago

While it is a classic choice for deck material, wood also requires regular maintenance and consumes considerable natural resources. For the time-pressed and eco-conscious homeowner, it’s possible to build a beautiful deck without sacrificing hour of free time or many trees. Made from 95% recycled materials, Trex decks are designed for comfort and conservation. Talk to your fencing company about Trex decking to learn more about the product, its characteristics and its benefits.

Made from Recycled Materials: Plastic shopping bags, reclaimed wood, and sawdust are the main materials used to make Trex decking and railing products. Not only are the materials green but the manufacturing process is, too, releasing fewer harmful emissions during production. In fact, using Trex decking products can contribute towards a building’s LEED points, making them a valuable component of green architecture.
Built to Last Longer: The recycled grocery bags and stretch film inside Trex deck boards create a barrier to moisture and insects. The reclaimed wood and sawdust protect the plastic from fading under the sun, reducing the need for constant staining or aesthetic maintenance. Unlike wood decks, Trex decks don’t rot, warp, or splinter. They’re also scratch-, mold-, and slip-resistant. With a 25-year Limited Stain and Fade Warranty, Trex decks provide both comfort to your home and confidence in your investment.
Clean and Green Maintenance: With a Trex deck, no chemical-laden stains or finishes are needed. All that is required to clean a Trex deck is simple soap and water, which means fewer harmful substances will be introduced to the environment or will come in contact with your family.
Looks like Natural Wood: With a natural grain pattern and many styles to choose from, you can achieve the visual appeal of a wood deck while still doing your part to protect the environment. Trex decking and railing products come in a variety of colors to complement your home’s style, and their attractive wood finish creates an inviting and warm final look.
