Why Trex® Composite?

Traditional wood decks offer natural beauty, but maintaining that look requires constant upkeep to prevent fading, splintering, and structural wear. Trex® composite decking delivers the timeless appearance of wood without the hassle of ongoing maintenance. Built to withstand sun, sleet, and snow, Trex® maintains its rich color and durability for decades, making it a superior choice for homeowners who want both style and longevity.

The Downsides of Wood Decking

While Trex® composite decking stays strong and vibrant year after year, wood decks:
❌ Rot, split, swell, twist, and fade over time
❌ Crack due to insect infestations
❌ Require annual painting, staining, or sealing
❌ Splinter easily, creating safety concerns
❌ Contribute to deforestation

When comparing composite decking vs. wood, there’s no competition—Trex® outperforms in durability, maintenance, and sustainability. Choose a deck that’s built to last with Home Front Exteriors. Let’s create your perfect outdoor space today!

PVC decking is a low-maintenance alternative to wood, offering resistance to rot, termites, and mold, much like composite options. However, not all PVC is created equal. Many PVC deck boards are made from virgin plastic, making them less environmentally friendly than other decking materials.

By contrast, Trex® decking is crafted from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood fibers and plastic film, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homeowners. Plus, Trex® is manufactured using green processes that minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.

When it comes to choosing a durable, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly decking solution, Trex® stands out as the smarter, more sustainable option—without sacrificing beauty or performance.

Composite decking has come a long way since Trex® pioneered the industry nearly 30 years ago. Over the years, Trex® has led the way with cutting-edge innovations, including its high-performance, weather-resistant shell that provides unmatched fade and stain resistance.

Early-generation composite decking simply can’t compare to today’s technology. Unlike modern Trex® boards, older composites:
❌ Discolored and stained over time
❌ Required frequent cleaning with specialized deck wash
❌ Were susceptible to mold, mildew, fading, and scratching

With advanced engineering, homeowners now enjoy decades of durability, vibrant color retention, and minimal upkeep—all while benefiting from a deck that looks just as good as the day it was installed. Upgrade to Trex and experience the future of decking today!
