Australians living in the sunburnt country, we have a particular affinity with decks. They're a feature of many homes and offer a charming space for relaxing or soaking up the sun. Add a table setting for entertaining or an outdoor lounge for snoozing and you're all set for the perfect lazy Sunday. There's just one catch: if you have a timber deck, some of those weekends will be spent sanding, oiling or painting. If it's not you doing it, you'll be paying a considerable amount for someone else to do it, while enduring periods where your deck looks less than its best. The reality is, wooden decks require regular maintenance to retain their good looks, and despite this are still prone to warping, rotting and decay.
As the world's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, with products sold across more than 40 countries, Trex offers a very appealing substitute to wood. For more than 30 years, Trex has invented, reinvented and defined the composite decking category. Engineered to withstand the harsh Australian climate and decades of foot traffic, Trex composite decking delivers premium durability, easy maintenance, and lasting beauty that outperforms traditional timber and other outdoor surface materials, giving you more time to enjoy life.
