Solid & Capped Board
Offering outstanding performance, these boards should come with a 50-year domestic and 10-year commercial Trex® warranty* as standard.
Solid & Capped Board (with groove for hidden fixings)
Featuring grooved edges to accommodate a hidden fixing system, the board’s shell ensures performance against colour fade, stains, scratching and scuffing.
Solid & Uncapped Board
These offer structural performance and integrity, but are liable to earlier fading – choose a trusted brand offering a product warranty.
Solid & Uncapped Board (with groove for Z fixings)
While offering strong structural performance, the deck’s appearance will fade in the medium-term. A warranty and trusted supplier is essential.
Scalloping & Capped(with groove for Hidden fixings)
Providing a cost-effective solution, these boards should be purchased from a trusted brand which has undertaken performance testing and certification.
Scalloping & Uncapped
While product performance will be unaffected, these boards are subject to earlier colour fade. Always choose a trusted brand.
Circular Hollowcore & Capped
Providing a cost-effective solution, these boards should be purchased from a trusted brand which has undertaken performance testing and certification.
Hollowcore & Uncapped
Don’t be tempted by low prices – these are subject to structural failure and significant damage, with a short warranty period. This board will easily scratch, fade, stain and break apart.
