The Advantages of Having Trex Flooring for Decks
If you’re tired of dealing with splintering timber, constant sealing, and endless maintenance, Trex decking is a hassle-free alternative that gives you more time to enjoy your outdoor space.
Low Maintenance
A quick wash with soap and water or a gentle scrub with a deck cleaner is all it takes to keep Trex composite decking looking fresh. No more peeling finishes or water damage.
Durable and Weather-resistant
Sydney’s climate can be tough on outdoor spaces, but Trex decking is built to last. It won’t warp, crack, or splinter under the harsh Australian sun, and it resists termites and moisture — perfect for coastal or humid areas.
Eco-friendly Choice
Trex decking is made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and plastic film, reducing landfill waste. It’s a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Fade and Stain Resistant
The high-performance composite material resists grease, wine, and sauce stains, while its UV-resistant technology keeps the colour rich and vibrant for years.
Safe and Comfortable
Unlike timber, Trex decking won’t develop splinters, cracks, or nails popping up over time. It also stays cooler underfoot compared to some other composite decking brands, so you can enjoy barefoot comfort on hot summer days.
Variety of Styles
Trex offers various colours and grain patterns to suit your outdoor space. From deep, rich hues to lighter natural tones, there’s an option to perfectly match your home’s style.

Frequently Asked Questions
While a Trex deck is typically more expensive than a hardwood timber deck such as spotted gum (expect to pay 20% to 30% more for Trex deck boards than kiln-dried hardwood), the savings achieved by not having to sand and oil the boards will be in the thousands of dollars each year.
A Trex deck board costs $29.07 a linear metre/$207.55 a square metre. Random length Spotted Gum deck boards are $18.37 a linear metre/$136 a square metre. Prices do change, so check with your local retailer for current prices.
Trex decking is made up of 95% recycled materials, including:
- Timber
- Sawdust
- Wood grain fillers
- Everyday household items (toilet paper, newspapers, shopping bags etc.)
Trex decking boards are constructed with a protective shell with rich colours engineered into the design. This means no painting or staining and up to 25 years of stunning colour.
Trex has created products that stand the test of time, as well as the difficulty of aesthetic style, with a range of beautifully crafted products.
All composite and natural timber materials will absorb heat and get hot on scorching days, and Trex decking materials are no exception. Trex decking boards are generally a little hotter than timber – but you won’t be able to tell the difference on a hot day.
The darker the board’s colour, the more heat it will usually absorb. If your deck is in direct sunlight, you can choose a lighter colour, as darker-coloured boards will generally be hotter to the touch. Alternatively, if your deck has a pergola or awning over it, you can choose whatever colour you think best suits your area, as heating up won’t be an issue.
Trex decking materials are an excellent choice for a pool deck. Not only is a Trex deck suited to our harsh Australian climate, but Trex deck boards also easily handle the wet conditions around your pool.
It won’t rot or warp and will give you many years of hassle-free service. Wash your deck with warm water and a broom every month or so, and it will look just as sparkling and fresh as the day it was installed.
Trex uses especially designed patented clips – Hideaway Fasteners – that slide into the groove on the side of the deck board. The clip is screwed into the substructure, leaving a smooth, uncluttered look and feel to the top of the deck.
Trex deck boards are rated to BAL level 29
What are the disadvantages of Trex Composite Decking?
- Cost: Trex Decking tends to be more expensive upfront than traditional wood decking. While it can be cost-effective over time due to low maintenance requirements, the initial investment can be a barrier for some homeowners.
- Heat Retention: Trex decking can become hot under direct sunlight, especially in warmer climates. This can make walking on bare feet uncomfortable and may require rugs or other coverings to mitigate the heat. If your deck does not have cover and is in direct sunlight, it’s a good idea to choose a lighter colour rather than a dark one. The new range – Trex Lineage has been engineered to be significantly cooler than most other composites available on the Australian market.
- Expansion and Contraction: Trex Transcend decking can expand and contract with temperature fluctuations like many othe materials. This may lead to slight gapping of boards over time. Proper installation and spacing by a professional installer will mitigate this issue so that your deck looks perfect all the time.
