Why Choose Trex Composite Decking?
Trex is the most popular composite decking brand in the US — and for good reason. Made from 95% recycled materials, Trex boards resist rot, warping, splintering, and insects without any annual staining or sealing. A Trex deck looks beautiful year after year with just occasional cleaning. It's the ideal choice for Louisville homeowners who want a stunning outdoor space without the maintenance commitment of wood.
Trex vs Wood Decking in Louisville
Trex costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood — typically $45-70 per square foot installed vs $20-35 for wood. But when you factor in zero maintenance costs over 25 years, the total cost of ownership is comparable. Trex also stays cooler than many composite brands, which matters on hot Louisville summer days. The biggest downside: if a board gets damaged years later, matching faded Trex color can be challenging.

Does Trex decking get hot in Louisville summers?
All composite decking absorbs more heat than wood on hot days. Trex has improved significantly in this area and performs better than many competitors, but it will still be warmer than wood on a hot Louisville July afternoon. Lighter color Trex boards stay cooler than darker ones.
