If you’re looking for functionality, durability and beauty in your outdoor living space, then building a deck with Trex is the ideal option for you. Trex is the world’s most popular brand of composite decking, a fantastic alternative to wood decking for its low maintenance and superior quality.
The first company to pioneer, patent and produce composite decking back in 1996, Trex has remained the industry leader in composite decking and wins awards for their products 25 years on. Aside from their high-quality decks, Trex guarantees a 25-year residential warranty provided that your decking has been properly installed. The best way to ensure that your warranty is not voided is to find Trex contractors near you with the necessary knowledge and special tools.
When researching the best materials to build your dream decking, there are two main alternatives on the market: composite decking and wood. Let’s explore the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
There are many advantages to building a Trex deck:
The main disadvantage is the price of a Trex deck, which is more expensive than wood. However, once you factor in the continual maintenance required for wood decking, the initial cost of Trex decking balances out. Another downside is that certain Trex boards are up to 70% heavier than their wood counterparts. Looking up ‘Trex deck installers near me’ is your best bet, as the professional masters will do all the heavy lifting for you!
Wood decking is very high maintenance, and requires constant care to avoid not just aesthetic concerns but also safety hazards.
If you would like to build a Trex deck, there are three new-generation collections to browse depending on your budget and preferences:
Trex Transcend is Trex’s top-of-the-range series. Transcend boards have a deep wood-grain pattern, three-side shell protection against the elements, and are offered in a range of eight colours in two styles to suit any project you have in mind. The Premium Tropical collection includes Havana Gold, Island Mist, Lava Rock, Spiced Rum, Tiki Torch, and the Classic Earth Tones range consists of Gravel Path, Rope Swing, and Vintage Lantern. Transcend boards are available in 1 or 2-inch thickness.
Trex Enhance comes in two grades: Enhance Naturals and Enhance Basics. Boards in the Enhance collection are scalloped and lightweight in comparison to Transcend or Select decking, so if you plan to fit your Trex deck yourself (rather than find a builder near you) then the Enhance range is probably your best bet. Bear in mind that Enhance decking only comes in a 1-inch thickness.
If you’re looking for an authentic wood-grain aesthetic then this is the ideal mid-range collection for you. The natural, muted colours of these high-performance boards include Coastal Bluff, Foggy Harbour, Rocky Wharf and Toasted Sand.
For quality and low-maintenance boards at a lower price, Trex Enhance Basics is a great option – this is Trex’s most affordable collection. However, there are only three colours of board in this collection: Beach Dune, Clam Shell and Saddle.
Trex Select is perfect for those who want a luxury look and stylish outdoor zone on a budget. The quality of Trex Select’s mid-range boards does not match that of Trex Transcend and is slightly more prone to scratching, but is covered by Trex’s 25 year warranty regardless. There are five colours in the Select line-up – Madeira, Pebble Grey, Saddle, Winchester Grey and Woodland Brown – and you can choose from 1 or 2-inch thickness boards.

Delta Decks did a beautiful job on our backyard deck and patio. Our old deck was in dire need of a rebuild and refresh. Elgi was great in getting the project started and Dimitri and his team were amazing to work with throughout the project. They were extremely customer focused and detail oriented, even suggesting improvements that we had not considered. I would highly recommend this company.

Delta Decks replaced my very worn old wood deck with a mineral based/pvc ‘Deckorators’ product, color ‘Costa’. Finding a taupe color was a challenge but this came close to the rest of the wood decks I still have and I did not like the grays of most other products. They did an excellent job.

I am very satisfied with the improvements that Delta Decks made to my 12 year old deck. From my first contact with Elgi, the project manager ,to the final clean up of the jobsite I could not ask for better treatment. All my pre job questions were thoroughly answered and the advice given improved the final look of my deck. The 3 man job crew was terrific. Each of them was very professional and very conscientious. They made me feel that they wanted me to be very satisfied with their work. They answered any questions I had and they did a very good job of cleaning up before they left. A job well done.

This review has been a long time coming. We had Elgi and team come in on September 2021 and after some talks about designs and materials we ended up going with a Fiberon deck. His crew was polite, neat and worked very quickly. The deck looks beautiful and the lighting on the stairs really compliments the design. Thanks so much Elgi & team, It was a pleasure working with you!
