Back in 1996, Trex was the first company to combine recycled plastic with reclaimed timber to create a decking product and since then, it has become the world’s foremost brand.
What is TREX composite decking?
Trex manufactures a range of composite, wood-alternative decking products that are manufactured from a blend of 95% recycled timber and plastic.
Why TREX composite decking is environmentally friendly
Offering irrefutable eco-credentials, Trex composite decking is manufactured from recycled plastic film and recycled timber and the company’s use of reclaimed sawdust means that no trees are felled for production. This is then combined with recycled plastic sourced from shopping bags, newspaper sleeves and dry cleaner bags to name a few. Further, the production of Trex products when compared to timber over the same period, involves 42% fewer greenhouse emissions.
Features of TREX composite decking
As well as being eco-friendly in its production, Trex composite decking features a protective shell with a deep timber grain. It is simple to install as it is highly workable; Trex decking boards can be cut to size with a saw. Available in a choice of price points to suit all, our composite decking is offered in a wide choice of colours, richly inspired by nature.
Benefits of TREX composite decking
Composite decking will not rot or splinter and is extremely low maintenance, requiring no treatments such as sealing or staining. Trex decking boards will not warp over time and are completely insect resistant. Available in a wide range of colours to complement any outdoor space, Trex composite decking will not fade and is stain resistant, offering the natural beauty of wood without the maintenance. It has been designed to withstand the damage caused by weathering that often occurs with timber decking and it is resistant to mould and mildew.
Maintenance of TREX composite decking
Trex composite decking eliminates the need for time consuming maintenance associated with timber decking. It does not need to be sanded, stained/painted or sealed. In fact, beyond sweeping it free of debris or washing it down with soapy water when required, Trex decking will retain its looks for years.
