Product catalog summary
Introduction
Trex is a leading provider of wood-alternative decking, known for its high-performance composite decks that offer both beauty and durability. These decks are designed to be low-maintenance and long-lasting, making them suitable for various outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Trex?
Trex decks feature a high-performance shell that resists fading, staining, scratching, mold, mildew, and insects. Made from 95% recycled materials, they support environmental sustainability. They require minimal maintenance, needing only soap and water for cleaning, and come with a 25-year limited residential warranty.
Design and Installation
Trex offers a range of colors and grain patterns to match any home style. The Trex Hideaway Hidden Fastening System provides a smooth finish without visible screws. Installation is straightforward, with carbide-tipped blades and router bits recommended for best results.
Maintenance and Warranty
Trex decks are low-maintenance, eliminating the need for sanding, staining, or painting. They are backed by a 25-year limited warranty, ensuring long-term satisfaction.
Environmental Responsibility
Trex is committed to sustainability, using 95% recycled materials and saving over 180 million kilos of plastic and wood scrap from landfills annually. No trees are cut down for their decking production.
Installation Guidelines
Proper gapping is crucial for drainage and thermal expansion. Trex recommends specific gapping guidelines and the use of hidden fasteners. Joist spacing should be adjusted based on decking patterns and load requirements.
Safety and Tools
Safety equipment such as glasses, gloves, and dust masks should be used during installation. Trex decking is heavier than wood, so proper lifting techniques are necessary.
Conclusion
Trex decking offers a durable, eco-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing solution for outdoor spaces. With easy installation and minimal maintenance, Trex decks are a long-lasting investment for homeowners.
Specifications
Trex decking requires building code-approved structural materials for supports. The bearer system must be level to prevent uneven decking. Supports must run in the direction of the roof pitch for proper drainage, with bearers placed perpendicular to the deck board orientation.
Installation Procedures
End-to-end gapping rules are essential. The system must be securely attached. For commercial applications, consult local building codes. When installing at an angle, reduce spans by 100 mm for residential and 204 mm for commercial applications. Minimum bearer height is 38 mm, with 89 mm recommended in debris-prone areas.
Stair Installation
Stair treads must be fastened across at least four stringers, with gapping between boards of 6 mm to 10 mm. The overhang should not exceed 13 mm. Two installation options are available: hidden fasteners or wood support blocks.
Railing Installation
Trex railing is suitable for decks up to 600 mm high. For higher decks, consult a Trex supplier. Posts should be installed 1.83 m or 2.44 m on center, using 13 mm carriage bolts. Detailed steps for installing post sleeves, railing support brackets, and attaching rails are provided.
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended. For mold, use a hose and brush. A pressure washer with no more than 3100 psi can be used. Avoid acetone or solvents on Trex Transcend railing.
Testing and Standards
Trex decking has been tested for various properties, ensuring compliance with standards for durability and safety.
Care and Cleaning Guide
Trex Transcend and Enhance products require regular cleaning with soap and water to maintain their appearance.
European Physical & Mechanical Properties
Trex products have undergone ASTM testing to ensure quality and durability.
Environmental Practices
Trex factories recycle runoff and eliminate the need for smokestacks, contributing to greener manufacturing processes.
Limited Warranty
Trex offers a 25-year warranty for residential applications and a 10-year warranty for commercial applications, covering material defects and structural damage. Specific components like LED lights and gate hardware have different warranty terms.
Warranty Exclusions
The warranty does not cover improper installation, acts of God, environmental conditions, or normal wear and tear. It also excludes costs related to product removal or installation.
Fade & Stain Warranty
Trex products are warranted against excessive fading and staining under normal conditions, with a 25-year warranty for residential and 10 years for commercial applications. Proper cleaning within one week of exposure to staining substances is required.
Claim Procedure
To make a warranty claim, purchasers must provide a description, photographs, and proof of purchase. Claims related to stain resistance require proof of cleaning attempts.
Liability Limitations
Trex's liability is limited to product replacement or refund and does not cover special, incidental, or consequential damages.
