FAQs
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.
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.
Trex composite decking has a Class B fire rating, which means it is resistant to fire spread, making it a safer option for many residential applications. However, it is not entirely fireproof.
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.
Trex recommends using the following fasteners for secure and aesthetically pleasing installation:
- Trex hideaway? hidden fasteners: these provide a smooth, screw-free deck surface.
- Trex ? decking screws: these are designed for visible fastenings with stainless steel or coated options to prevent corrosion.
