FAQs
Trex composite decking consists of a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic, providing a durable, eco-friendly material. The decking is capped with a protective layer that helps prevent stains and fading while also making it low maintenance.
Trex composite decking is ideal for wet environments like poolside or by the beach due to its moisture-resistant properties. The decking will not absorb water, which helps prevent mould and mildew growth.
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 composite decking is built to last for decades, typically offering a 25-year lifespan or longer with proper care. The material is resistant to many of the issues that affect traditional wood, such as warping, rotting, and splintering.
