Elegant Trex Deck Products
Composite decking has become a popular choice for Sydneysiders who want to enjoy their outdoor space without the regular maintenance (and the cost) that comes with timber – but there are a range of composite products to choose from.
Trex deck is the world’s largest manufacturer of alternative timber products. Made of 95% recycled materials, it doesn’t need to fell a single tree to create modern, elegant decking materials that are almost indistinguishable from timber – but offer a wide range of advantages instead.
When it comes to gorgeous, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly deck building, Trex deck has all the answers.
Trex offers the most innovative and advanced composite product in the Australian market – and UrbanArch Building are Sydney’s leading suppliers and installers of quality Trex.

Is Trex the Same as Composite?
Trex is the most well-known composite material available, contributing to roughly 40% of the composite market. Just as Starbucks isn’t the only takeaway coffee shop on the market, but it is the market leader, Trex is the leading provider of composite materials.
While composite material gets recognition (and rightfully so) for it’s low maintenance finish, wide range of colours, and environmentally-friendly make-up, you’ll need to compare the builders if you’re looking to invest in this.
As one of Sydney’s leading suppliers and installers for Trex brand, UrbanArch Building gives you the advantages of market-leading composite material, with the care and eye for detail of a local, family-run business.
How Much Does Trex Cost?
While Trex is typically more expensive than hardwood timber (expect to pay 20% to 30% more for composite than kiln dried hardwood), you end up on the right side of the ledger in the long run. Composite board is quicker to install and doesn’t have the annual maintenance costs that a hardwood has. Think sanding, acid washing and oiling. Maintenance costs with a reputable firm will usually be in the $40 – $80 a sq metre per year.
It’s true that Trex typically costs more than a timber – there’s more to the story than upfront price.
Although this product is made from recycled materials, processing these materials and ensuring a high level of performance and strength adds to your upfront costs. But keep in mind, your board will be your social hub and personal oasis for decades to come, and that’s where the savings kick in.
What is Trex Deck Made From?
- Timber
- Sawdust
- Wood grain fillers
- Everyday household items (toilet paper, newspapers, shopping bags etc)
When you value the state of your home as much as the state of the planet, it’s nice to know Trex has never felled a single tree. Through using unwanted timber from woodworking projects and recyclable materials, Trex offers sustainable boards for all homes.
Not only will you have a board that enjoys the gorgeous appearance of timber, but you’ll be playing your part to help the environment.
How to Decide Between Timber or Trex
Can’t decide between Trex or timber?
The advance of sustainable and stylish composite products means timber is no longer the default choice for homeowners who want to expand their outdoor space and elevate their living.
Say Goodbye to Termites and Wood-Eating Insects
The innovative composite structure of a Trex makes it termite-proof and protected against wood-eating insects. That means bugs can’t burrow into your new board and lay eggs, so the $100 million in damages caused by termites in Australia isn’t a bill you need to foot.
And with an early sign of termite damage often coming in the form of splintering or damaged boards, your board is guaranteed to be termite-free and structurally sound for years to come.

Trex: Pros and Cons
Wondering what to watch out for when purchasing Trex? Consider the following pros and cons to help you make an informed decision about choosing the best builder.
| PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Dirt and Debris | The affected area should be sprayed off with a hose to remove surface debris. Use warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and debris from the embossing pattern. |
| Chalk Lines | High performance chalk lines may discolor the surface. Use only Irwin Strait-Line®* Dust-Off Marking Chalk (purple), available at Irwin.com |
| Tannins Due to Debris | Remove all debris using a hose or broom. Once the surface is dry, apply a Deck Brightener** as directed by the manufacturer. Deck Brighteners contain oxalic acid, which will also remove tannins. |
| Ice and Snow | A plastic shovel may be used to remove snow from the board. Use calcium chloride or rock salt to melt the snow and ice from the surface. |
| Oil, Grease and Food | All food spills should be removed as soon as possible. The surface must be cleaned within seven days to maintain the stain warranty. To remove, spray off with a hose and use warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove spills from the embossing pattern. |
| Mold and Mildew | If debris such as pollen and dirt is allowed to remain on the surface, mold can feed on the biofilm. Using a hose and warm, soapy water with a soft bristle brush is recommended to remove the food source and mold. |
| Using a Pressure Washer (Concrete, Stucco or Ground-in Construction Dirt) | A pressure washer with no greater than 3100 psi***** that has a fan attachment/adjustment and soap dispenser may be used to remove dirt, concrete dust, or other types of construction dirt. Spray the board with soap, then follow with gently scrubbing each board with a soft bristle brush. Spray/rinse each individual board using a fan tip no closer than 8″ from the surface. RINSE THOROUGHLY as if dirty water from cleaning is left to dry, this will cause a film to remain on the surface. |
| Maintaining Transcend and Select Railing | NEVER use acetone or other solvents on Trex Transcend or Select railing to maintain the beauty of the surface. For color transfer issues (from attachment of baluster spacer), use Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® Original or Magic Eraser® Extra Power to help remove this.*** For small surface scratches, marks, or scuffs, use Dupli-Color Scratch Seal™ Clear Sealer Pen. **** |
