Trex decking is available in three distinctive collections: Enhance (Good), Select (Better) and Transcend (Best). The differences between these three lines are defined by their durability, scratch resistance, color options, profiles and price.

Trex decking is warranted for 25, 35, and 50 years, depending upon the collection used. All three Transcend lines are backed by a 50-year limited warranty; Select a 35-year limited warranty, and both Enhance Naturals and Basics come with a 25-year limited warranty. When installing the deck boards, it is important to follow the installation guidelines, in part so you don’t void the warranty.. You’ll extend the life of your deck by giving care to your substructure as well.

On average, the estimated material cost for a composite deck runs from $15 - $30 per square foot (including substructure, decking, hardware and fasteners). We recommend using our online cost calculator tool and guide to get an estimate for your project's cost. For a true cost estimate, reach out to a Trex retailer or TrexPro deck builder.

*Average price range excludes Trex Signature® decking, our luxury decking collection. Trex actual material costs and install costs can and will vary based on geographic area, site location, seasonality, design complexity, whether the product is stocked locally, and additional features such as stairs, angles, curves, lighting, etc. For most professionally installed projects, materials constitute up to one third of the total cost. 

Just like many other outdoor walking surfaces, composite decking can get hot due to sun exposure or weather. On these hot days - care needs to be taken to make sure skin does not have extended contact with the surface of the deck. For hotter climates, we recommend choosing a lighter color or one of our Lineage deck boards. The Transcend Lineage line of decking is engineered with heat-mitigating technology to give you our coolest decking yet.* It offers a noticeably cooler board than any of our other decking collections.

Trex decking has a moderate traction level and like most outdoor walking surfaces, can become slick when it rains, ices or snows. We recommend taking caution on these days and using rock salt or calcium chloride to prevent ice or snow build-up. When first practical, we recommend rinsing the deck and cleaning with warm soapy water (with mild dish soap) when the weather changes.

Composite changed the way decks are built. For decades, wood was the material of choice for outdoor living spaces, but with consumers demanding easy maintenance and luxury looks, composites have grown in popularity. Trex composite decking is sustainably made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and polyethylene film. Trex decking doesn’t splinter, rot or decay like pressure-treated lumber, and never needs sanding, staining or painting. With budget options comparable with pressure-treated wood, it raises the question – why “wood” you use anything else?

It’s important to consider how you will use your outdoor space when selecting your decking material. Consider the wear and tear your deck will take. Do you have a pet? Will your deck endure foot traffic? Do you do a lot of entertaining and require a grill area? Will you move heavy furniture back and forth frequently? For decks that get a workout, Transcend decking presents the highest level of scratch resistance. If your budget is the top consideration, our entry-level Enhance collection, priced to put the pressure on wood, maybe for you.

Trex Transcend, labeled as our “best” decking line, combines the look of elegant exotic wood with the versatility and durability of composites. With a realistic wood-like grain and 12 colors between our Lineage, Tropicals, and Earth Tones collections, Transcend offers endless possibilities for your dream backyard.. Transcend stands out with five-star scratch resistance, making it the go-to decking for puppy-filled spaces or busy community gathering spots.

No matter which deck you pick, you can feel good about your choice knowing that our decking is not only good for you but also good for the planet. Trex decking is sustainably made from 95% recycled materials including reclaimed wood and recycled plastic film.
