Frequently Asked Questions
:: What is Trex?
Trex is a mixture of raw materials combined together to make an attractive, low maintenance deck board. Trex deck board is 95% recycled - 50% of this is wood waste and 50% is recycled plastic bags
:: Why would a customer be interested in Trex decking?
Trex decking will not rot, warp, split, fade or stain. It is also resistant to mould. A sporadic wash is all it needs to remain in tip-top condition
:: Do Trex offer any guarantees?
Trex offer a 25 year residential & 10 year commercial warranty for their products. The Trex warranty even covers against fading & staining on the deck board. Please contact AFP for full details
:: Isn’t Trex expensive compared to softwood decking?
Trex is more expensive than wooden decking - around 4.5 times more expensive compared to softwood on a piece by piece comparison or around 3 times more expensive if you have it professionally installed. However we believe there is a position in the market for a low-maintenance, high quality composite deck board and all the advantages it brings. Especially for high end residential & commercial projects where low maintenance is desirable
:: How can I buy Trex?
Arbor Forest Products will sell to the trade in deck size quantities - there are no set pack sizes. You could even have 1 piece delivered free of charge if it comes with a standard timber delivery - ideal if your customer doesn’t order enough product the first time around
:: How do you install Trex?
Trex is very easy to install and works just like timber decking. Trex cuts with the same tools too. You can also use a timber sub-frame - 400mm joist centres for a residential deck and 300mm centres for a commercial deck. We also offer Trex deck board with a secret fixing system so you won’t see any screws through the surface of the board. Simply use the secret fixing clip and screw it into each joist
:: Do I need to leave gaps between each board?
Employ a 6-10mm gap between each board. The secret fixing system automatically employs a 6mm gap for you. Between the ends of each board use a 3-5mm gap and when abutting other objects such as a wall 6-10mm
:: How can I curve Trex deck board?
Trex deck board can be curved for a fantastic, unique appearance. Curving Trex does require skill; Trex deck board has to be heated to between 85 and 104 degrees and so we advise using a professional installer where possible. Contact AFP for further details
:: Can you recommend a professional installer?
We can recommend high quality installers - please contact AFP for details
:: Do you supply to the end-user directly?
AFP will only sell Trex to our trade customers
:: How should we store Trex?
Ideally store Trex undercover and keep it wrapped. Use supports at 400mm centres to keep it in A1 condition. Don’t stack Trex any higher than 3.7m
