Trex are the worlds largest manufacturer of timber alternative decking products, they have been producing composite decking since 1996. This year they have introduced a number of new products into their portfolio.
So whats new to Trex
In the past Trex have always been considered to be a high end composite decking manufacturer supplying only the Transcend range. However this year things have changed with the introduction of the Trex Basics and Trex Naturals Ranges.
So whats New in the Trex Range
Lets look at the differences in board design
Firstly the most significant difference is the price, the introduction of the basics range now means that customers who were once priced out of the Trex Transcend range are now able to find a decent quality alternative in the Trex basics range.
The difference to the customer is significant to give you an idea I have based it on a 4.8 Metre Length –
Trex Transcend – Trex Basic - £17.00 Per Length + Vat Difference.
So why is this product cheaper
Board has less volume
The most noticeable difference is the volume of the board. The new Trex boards have a corrugated design this has allowed Trex to reduced the amount of materials used to manufacture the composite decking board.
However take note as this now means that the new ranges must to be installed on base timbers that are closer together (350 Millimetre ).
Hardness of the surface
We have installed a number of Trex decking displays at our Composite Decking display centre and I have noticed that the surface on the new Trex Basics range isn’t as hard as the Transcend Range. It is however more than up to the job.
Colour Ranges are limited
In the Trex basics range there are only two single tone colours so you don’t have the range to choose from and the shades that are available are quite basic ( Hence the name I guess ).
Single colour tone
In the transcend range the boards are made with a number of different colours and features running through them however the basics boards are one single colour making them not quite as unique to look at.
Our opinion of Trex Basics Range
When all is said and done the new cheaper ranges that Trex have introduced are really good, we have had great feedback from our customers and it is apparhent that it will out perform similar composite decking that is currently available within the UK.
