On hot days, care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.

*Although Trex Transcend Lineage is designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot sunny day, it will get hot. For hotter climates, consumers should consider choosing a lighter color. If you are considering our traditional decking boards, please note that the darker the color, the hotter the deck will feel. On such days, care needs to be taken to make sure skin does not have extended contact with the surface of the deck, especially with young children and those with special needs. Like many other outdoor surfaces, such as concrete, asphalt, beach sand, wood decking, other brands of composite decking, etc., Trex decking can get hot due to weather and sun exposure. Trex has recently engineered a new line of composite decking, Trex Transcend Lineage, which is designed with heat-mitigating technology that makes it our coolest decking yet*. Incremental warranty protection: 25-, 35-, and 50-year limited warranties for most products. Enhanced aesthetics: richer, long-lasting color palettes and natural wood grain patterns. Easier maintenance: requiring only an occasional cleaning with soap and water or a pressure washer. In addition to improved performance, the shell technology offers: Newer generation Trex deck boards ( Trex Transcend® Lineage™, Trex Transcend®, Trex Enhance®, Trex Select®, Trex Contour®) are manufactured with a high-performance shell that wraps around three sides of the composite board to protect it from the elements, providing resistance to fading, staining, scratching and mold. As of 2014, Trex no longer manufactures any early-generation composite decking. To address these issues, Trex introduced a new kind of high-performance decking in 2010. Even so, all early generation wood-plastic composites, whether Trex or a competitor's product, were not stain, scratch or mold-free, and did fade slightly in color as they naturally weathered. As the category evolved, this early-generation composite was offered in additional colors and with grain patterns that reflected a more natural appearance. Periodic cleanings with a composite deck cleaner were far easier than the dreaded sanding and staining required to maintain wood decks.

While wood decking inevitably suffered splinters, warping and rotting, and required considerable maintenance, early-generation Trex never had to be stained and did not rot, warp or twist like wood. Today's Trex decks resist blemishes with an innovative, high-performance shell that wraps around three sides of our deck boards.Įarly-generation composite decking (Trex Origins®, Trex Accents®, Trex Profiles®, Trex Brasilia® and Trex Contours®) represented a breakthrough for low-maintenance and durability. Newer-generation decking is easy to spot because of its resilience. While our early-generation decking was groundbreaking for its time, spills and scuffs can still leave a mark. If you've noticed any staining, scratching or fading over the years, it's likely you have early-generation decking.
