For those looking to upgrade ahead of what’s very likely to be another scorching summer followed by an equally wet winter, decking company Trex has a list of some of the top features to look for in climate-resilient materials.
More and more homeowners are thinking more about the long-term durability and environmental impact of their home upgrades. Outdoor living spaces in particular are getting a lot of attention, with climate-resilient materials helping create backyards that can handle Australia’s harsh conditions while still feeling like an inviting retreat. Decking company Trex has a list to look out for when building or upgrading a deck this summer:
• Built to last – decking that stands up to everyday wear, resists fading and scratching, and keeps its good looks year after year. Unlike timber, Trex’s high-performance decking resists fading, scratches and stains and is engineered to withstand cracking, warping, or splintering.
• Heat mitigation – surfaces designed to stay comfortable in the summer heat so you can enjoy long afternoons outdoors. Trex’s SunComfortable™ Technology redefines what performance looks like in the heat. Heat-mitigating decking is designed to reflect solar energy and reduce heat absorption, keeping deck surfaces cooler* compared to standard composite decking.
• Made for all seasons – durable enough to handle heavy rain, salty air and sudden weather changes without warping or splintering, Trex decking is 100% submersible, saltwater-safe, and made to stand strong against sudden downpours.
• Sustainability – options are made with recycled materials that let you create a beautiful outdoor space with a lighter footprint. Trex’s eco-friendly composite decking is made primary from 95% recycled materials, making it a choice you can feel good about.
