Comparison guide
Trex outperforms other decking material options
Designed with lasting beauty, incredible durability and easy maintenance, there’s no compromising with high-performance composite decking. That’s why high-performance composite is the only type of decking we make. We’ve paired Trex against other types of decking for a head-to-head comparison that proves Trex outdecks, outlasts and outperforms the rest. Go ahead and see which decking material is best for you!
Choosing the best decking material to match your personal style and budget is a critical step in the deck building planning process. Each material option has its unique aesthetic appeal, maintenance requirements and costs. While most decks are built with pressure-treated wood, wood-composites and PVC deck boards are gaining in popularity. Here, we break down your options.
Trex vs. Wood Deck Boards
Traditional wood decks can be beautiful, but they don’t stay that way for very long, requiring extensive upkeep to maintain their looks and safe qualities. Trex® composite decking, on the other hand, was designed to mimic the beauty of wood decking but without all of the maintenance hassles. Our high-performance, eco-friendly composite decking withstands years of sun, sleet and snow, keeping its rich color and durability for decades. When comparing composite decking vs. wood, there’s really no competition.
Trex vs. PVC Deck Boards
PVC decking is another low-maintenance alternative to wood. Just like composites, PVC can resist rot, termites and mold. However, not all PVC is made the same. PVC decking is partly produced from virgin plastic, which makes it less environmentally friendly than other decking materials. By comparison, Trex decking is made from recycled materials including plastic film and reclaimed sawdust, and is made with eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
Trex vs. Early-Generation Composite Deck Boards
Composite decking has come a long way since Trex invented the category nearly 30 years ago. Since that time, we've evolved the industry by engineering the most significant breakthrough in composite technology-the Trex high-performance, weather-resistant shell. Early-generation composites don't come close to the fade & stain resistance that Trex's current generation of boards guarantee. And not just for the first year, but for decades.
