Trex Wood-Polymer™ lumber that brings together some of the best properties of wood and plastic. Compared to conventional decking lumber, Trex decking offers so much more: outstanding durability without preservatives or sealants, workability that wood can't match, and an elegant natural coloring that stays looking great year after year.

What's In TREX Decking?

Trex decking is made from reclaimed & recycled materials. There are two "ingredients" in Trex decking - waste wood fiber and reclaimed plastics, such as grocery sacks and stretch film.

How these materials work together:

Plastics provide:

• low moisture absorption
• chemical and pest resistance

Wood fiber benefits:

• increased stiffness
• UV protection
• slip resistance
• all the workability of the best grades of lumber

TREX Decking:  For Outstanding Durability !

The combination of wood and plastic in Trex decking means it can stand up to anything Mother Nature dishes out!

• No rotting, cracking or splintering
• No need for sealants
• No water, sun or insect damage
• Ongoing weatherometer testing (equaling 20+ years) has shown no deterioration of performance
• All backed by a 10 year* transferable limited warranty

Structures using composite lumber like Trex decking have been standing up to the toughest environments for over ten years.

Here are some things you won't find in TREX Wood Polymer lumber. Trex decking has:

• No preservatives
• No chemical additives
• No virgin wood

TREX Decking Composition

To make Trex Wood Polymer lumber, approximately equal amounts of waste wood fiber and reclaimed plastic are combined. The wood fiber comes primarily from woodworking operations, while the plastic material is reclaimed mainly from stretch film and grocery sacks. During the "mixing" of these elements, the plastic actually surrounds and protects the individual wood fibers, giving Trex decking many of its superior weather-resistant properties.

Trex decking contains no virgin wood or virgin plastics. No preservatives or treatments are added during its manufacture. In addition, Trex is completely recyclable after use through the Trex Recycling Program.
