Trex composite decking

Trex composite decking - There are lots of composite decking boards currently available on the UK market. These products vary wildly in price and quality. This decking comparison will explain why. At the cheaper end of the market you will find ‘Hollow Composite Decking’. Hollow boards have a honeycombed cross section and are much lighter. Far less material is used in the manufacture of these boards. As such, hollow composite is of inferior quality to Trex®. Hollow board decks have far less durability and are highly susceptible to fading, staining and delamination. A growing number of suppliers are distributing poor quality hollow composite decks in the UK. These cheaper boards have been manufactured in the Far East, and not only will these decks require more sub frame support, but they are often not suitable for the UK’s changeable climate. Consequently hollow composite decks will not offer the longevity you should expect from a composite product. Cheaper boards will also offer very ‘loose’ warranty terms and have almost non-existent product support. Trex® on the other hand offers a solid warranty, has nationwide reps available to inspect installed projects, and comes with a wealth of information both printed and online.
