If you’re tired of installing timber decks that crack, warp, and need constant upkeep, it might be time to check out what Trex has been cooking up.
The inventor and leading global brand of composite decking is giving tradies and their homeowner customers a smarter, tougher, and greener alternative to traditional timber — so it’s no surprise that Trex has taken over job sites across Australia.

Tristan Smith from Nail It Constructions, for example, knows his stuff when it comes to composite decking.
His team – based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches – specialises in composite decking and has come to love Trex’s offerings in the category.
“We’ve probably done over 100 decks with Trex,” Tristan said.
“We’ve used a lot of decking materials on the market, and we know what’s quality and what’s not.
“We know Trex composite decking is reliable and something we’re happy to use for our customers.”
For more than 30 years, Trex has led the charge in timber-alternative decking.
Its boards are built to last, resisting scratches, stains, mould, and fading — no sanding, staining or oiling needed. Just give it a quick wash and you’re good as gold.
“The market has seen a massive shift in the last five years in terms of going from timber decks to composite,” Tristan added. “The low maintenance is a massive appeal; they’re also quicker to install from our point of view.”
Sustainability-wise, Trex decking is made from up to 95 per cent recycled materials, including plastic film and reclaimed timber scrap. That’s nearly a half a billion kilos of waste kept out of landfill every year.
Even better — not a single tree has ever been felled to make a Trex board.
Got you sorted
Trex’s latest line — Transcend® Lineage™ — is a game-changer.
It looks like real timber (without the hassle), comes in a range of modern colours, and features heat-mitigating tech to help keep the deck surface cooler* than ever before — perfect for the Aussie summer scorch.
Plus, it’s all backed by a solid 50-year warranty.
That’s the kind of peace of mind tradies and their clients will love — and a deck you won’t have to worry about being called back to fix.
“The best thing about Trex is that they honour their warranties,” James Agnew from James Agnew Constructions said.
“That’s massive … when I say that to customers, they’re much more eager to jump on Trex because there’s so many brands out there that will do anything to get out of paying warranty. Trex won’t do that.”
So, if you’re keen to offer a premium, low-maintenance, eco-friendly deck that looks like a million bucks and performs like a beast, Trex might just be your new go-to.
Less time maintaining, more time enjoying — now that’s a win.
