All About Trex Decking Materials – A Guide To Choosing Which Trex Decking Is Right For Your Home & Lifestyle

Decks are an extension of your home that become a place for quiet mornings, fun evenings, and everything in between. 

Building a new deck or completely overhauling by demolishing an old deck is an investment, so why not choose the most durable, reliable, and stylish materials available? 

Choosing the right decking material is as important as choosing what color you’ll paint your living room or what kind of cabinets you want to install in your kitchen. 

If you have an older deck, it’s most likely made of wood that requires annual treatment and is prone to quicker deterioration and breakdown.  

If you’re looking to build a deck, you might feel the temptation to use wooden boards since that’s the old standard for deck building, but you’ll miss out on the benefits that a composite deck provides. 

Trex composite decking has set the standard for composite decks and continually goes above and beyond in the quality and style of their materials. 

Whether you want a deck for activities and entertainment or for an aesthetically pleasing place to relax, Trex has a variety of options. 

Not sure which Trex composite deck materials are right for your deck project? Don’t worry! We’ve laid out all the options below! 

All About Trex Decking

Every line of Trex decking is made of ultra-durable composite material. They are weather-resistant, termite-resistant, and very low-maintenance, needing only soap and water to clean. 

All of the decking materials utilize up to 95% recycled plastic film and reclaimed sawdust, making it an eco-friendly bonus! ♻️

Did we mention the materials are made in the U.S.A? 🇺🇸

All Trex decking lines have great warranties. The warranties increase in length proportional to the quality of each line.   

Trex Enhance

If you’re looking for an affordable, budget-friendly decking material that still outperforms a majority of other deck boards on the market, the Trex Enhance line is a great option! 

This composite material is 1 inch thick and scalloped along the underside of the board. This makes it light weight and more cost efficient overall.

It comes in 10 different color options, with 2 of those colors offering the Heat Mitigating SunComfortable Technology that keeps your deck boards up to 35 degrees cooler! 

The Trex Enhance line comes with a 25-year residential fade and stain warranty. 

Trex Select

Another affordable option is the Trex Select line. Surprisingly, these boards are even thinner than Trex Enhance, measuring at ⅞ inch but without the scalloped bottom. This creates a sturdy board but allows it to continue being light weight and cost efficient. 

The Select line is more scratch resistant, stain resistant, and even though thinner, is still uses the same durable, resilient, high-performance Trex material! 

One benefit that sets the Select line apart from Enhance is that this line is WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) compliant for fire resistance. This means that it is ignition resistant or non-combustible. If you live in an area that’s wooded or has a high chance of wildfires, this material is a great choice for your deck.  

With 5 colors to choose from, 3 of which have the SunComfortable heat mitigating technology, you’ll be sure to find something that suits your style! 

The Trex Enhance line comes with a 35-year residential fade and stain warranty. 

Trex Transcend

This is a premium decking material that marks the next level of the Trex Decking lines. 

Trex Transcend not only proves to be strong and reliable but also provides a gorgeous tropical environment color palette that elevates your deck and offers a unique look. 

This line has a better scratch and stain resistance compared to the Enhance and Select lines. 

These boards do not have the Heat Mitigating SunComfortable technology, but they are WUI compliant for fire resistance. 

You can choose between 6 stunning color options, and the Transcend line offers a 50-year residential fade and stain warranty. 

If you are looking to create a backyard oasis with your deck, this line offers you the stylish colors with the exceptional durability that you need to host parties and gatherings. 

Trex Transcend Lineage

The Transcend Lineage line offers a more modern and traditional color selection compared to the unique tropical colors of the Transcend line. 

Transcend Lineage also offers the Heat Mitigating SunComfortable Technology in 6 of the 7 color choices, which allows your deck flooring to be up to 35 degrees cooler than a standard deck floor. 

This line is also Fire Resistant and WUI Compliant. 

With a 50-year residential fade and stain warranty, you’ll feel great selecting this material, especially if you have little toes and paws on your deck when it’s hot out.  

Trex Signature

If these deck materials were cars, the Trex Signature line would be a Luxury brand like a Mercedes or BMW.

The Trex Signature line boasts quiet luxury and unmatched durability. 

This line has 2 color choices with a modern feel for those who want a sleek and aesthetically pleasing style. The realistic wood grain makes it look natural but still allows for the strength and long-lasting lifespan that Trex composite material brings to the table. 

With enhanced stain and scratch resistance along with the SunComfortable cooling technology, you’ll feel like you’re living in luxury even on your deck.
