Why Trex Composite Decks Are So Popular

When building a custom deck on your home, one of your first decisions will be on the material to use to construct the deck. You may want to choose the traditional wood deck material or opt for the more popular composite material. Trex composite decks have become increasingly popular because of their many benefits over standard wood decking.

Deck and Fence is a leading custom deck-building service in the Chicagoland area specializing in Trex composite deck systems. They have chosen to work with this company because it provides their customers with the best experience with owning a deck. When you have a Trex deck system, you can expect the following benefits:

Low Maintenance Costs and Time

When you use composite boards for your deck, you will not have to sand and seal them each year like a wood deck. You can keep your deck looking great by washing it with soap and water.

Insect and Weather Resistant

Composite boards are weather resistant. They will not rot or crack, or splinter from wet or cold weather. This can happen with regular wooden decks. Composite boards also resist wood-destroying insects, mold, and algae growth. All these elements can destroy a wood deck if left untreated.

Not Hot To The Touch

Trex composite boards will get warm in the heat, but they will not get as hot to touch as wood or all plastic boards. This means you can spend more time enjoying your deck area during the hotter times of the year.

25 Year Warranty

Trex offers a 25-year warranty on all of its composite boards. This means your deck will have almost double the lifespan of a wooden deck.

Environmentally Friendly

Trex makes its composite boards from discarded wood and post-consumer plastic. A 500-square-foot deck will have as much recycled plastic as 140,000 grocery bags. That is an amazing amount of used plastic to keep out of landfills.

Variety of Colors

Trex offers one of the largest selections of colors and textures for composite decking. You can even get wood grain if you really want the natural wood look for your deck. They also have many matching accessories.

Trex Is The First and Leading Composite Board Company

Trex is the original composite board company, and they have perfected the process of creating reliable composite boards for construction.

Higher Home Resale Value

Homeowners that invest in a deck system of any type will see a great return on their investment. Homes with decks have a higher resale value. Homes with a composite deck system will enjoy an even higher resale value than those with standard wooden decks.
