When building a deck in the oceanic climate of Surrey it is important to consider your building materials. While natural wood looks great it can suffer from some notable problems in wetter climates such as warping, rotting and mold. You could also choose PVC but then you lose the natural look that makes wood so popular. Lucky for you there is a third option that combines many of positives from both wood and PVC decking, that option being Trex Composite Decking. In today’s blog we will be looking at the various factors that make Trex such a popular deck building material in Surrey and detail why you may want to use Trex for your next deck project.
Trex boards are made from recycled composite materials, primarily in the form of sawdust and recycled plastic with up to 95% of the material being either recycled or reclaimed. This composition combined with Trex’s dedication to ensuring sustainability at every step of the process makes Trex Decking one of the most environmentally friendly options available. Trex Decking is also extremely resistant to many of the problems that plague wooden decks.
Trex boards have been specially engineered to be climate resistant, able to withstand sun, snow, sleet, stains and mold. The Trex Transcend line has even been made with heat mitigation in mind making it much easier on your feet during hot summers. These features make Trex boards an ideal material for the combination of wet rainy winters and sunny summers that we often experience in Surrey. Trex is also easy to maintain, it requires no stain or painting to maintain its appearance, it doesn’t split, or splinter and it only requires soap and water to be cleaned.
We hope that we have provided you with a solid demonstration as to why Trex Decking is such a popular deck material choice in Surrey and hope to hear from you should you require help with any deck-related projects.
