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.

Yes, species like jarrah and Spotted Gumare naturally resistant to moisture. Enhance their protection with Cutek Extreme CD50, which resists fungal decay and controls moisture absorption.

Eva-Last decking, particularly the ApexPlus range, is engineered to stay cooler than many traditional decking materials. Lighter colours in the range, such as Himalayan Cedar, reflect more sunlight, retaining less heat. While all materials warm under direct sunlight, Eva-Last’s innovative design helps minimise heat retention, ensuring a more comfortable surface for outdoor use.

Cleaning Millboard decking is simple. Use a soft-bristled brush and warm soapy water to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn stains, a low-pressure hose or gentle cleaning products (non-abrasive) can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers above 1500 PSI, as they may damage the surface.

Yes, Trex composite decking is made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and plastic. This makes Trex a sustainable option for decking, reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional wood.
