Q:Can these be purchased with pre-installed radiant heat for winter ice?
by|Dec 2, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  We cannot recommend this as it can damage the boards if it gets too hot. We recommend using the following ice melts without damage to our product- Calcium chloride or rock salt Magnesium Chloride Calcium Magnesium Acetate Potassium Chloride Rinse off when first practical, and the decking would require a cleaning when the weather changes.  Alaskan Blue Ice Melter and Safe Paw ice melts are acceptable to use on Trex decking.

      Very bad product
      Supposedly he sells this product as it is very good and it has not been more than 7 months since I installed this floor in a client's house and almost all the floor has gone making waves and now this has to be replaced, I'm sorry that the company that manufactures this is responsible for the material .

        Beware - Big quality control issues
        Purchased 132 boards. My contractors laid down half the deck on one side. When they started laying the other side noticed the boards were not aligning. Boards were different widths - variance was over 1/8 inch. Had to uninstall, recut, and reinstall boards - 3 extra days of labor. Trex support would only cover the boards and not labor. I am out of pocket several thousands of dollars for labor for Trex's quality control issue. It's not a good product - they just know how to market well.

          The more maintenance product
          We had a deck replaced and used Trex based on the statement that it is low maintenance. That is far from the truth. The decking holds every bit of dirt and shows it to the extent that the color is changed to look like dirt. Rinsing it with a hose does not remove the trapped dirt. It takes a cleaning agent and a brush/broom to scrub it clean. The edges of the steps and under the railing are particularly difficult to clean. Once clean, it starts looking dirty again within a couple weeks.

          Hi there, we are so sorry that the dirt is difficult to clean off on the decking. There are other cleaning products that are stronger and safe to use on our deck boards. Please give us a call at 800-289-8739 and we will be happy to provide for assistance for you. -Trex Customer Care Trex

            Hello and thank you for your review! While composite materials can have a higher price tag than wood, the maintenance and upkeep will be less expensive than wood decking that you would have to paint or stain and eventually replace over time. We hope you enjoy your new Trex decking for many years to come! Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help! Kindly, - Trex Customer Care Team Trex

            Do not use if you need variety in length.
            We are building a multi length deck with changes in overall board length. Installed on a bright sunny day. Turned out to be two different variants of color. Trex does not stand behind the product as to say it’s on you. So you figure it out. Also Trex is acknowledging that that typically happens. So it’s your call.

            Hello Mike, we sincerely apologize for your negative experience. However, we would like to mention that our streaked boards will intentionally have more variation to mimic tropical hardwoods. We do mention in our installation guide it is a good idea to mix and match all of the boards on the job site prior to installation to ensure an appealing mix of light and dark tones. if you have any further concerns please contact our customer care team at 1-800-289-8739 so we can further clarify the situation.

              Ordered Clamshell color and it is not remotely close to past order
              I wanted to add a ramp to a porch with Trex Clamshell. I placed the order and after I received and started cutting realized how lighter it was. The order had said 'no returns' and I figured it was a new color now anyway. They should've changed the name though if this is the case.

              Hello, we do apologize for the situation going on. We did change the product a few years back but they were never intended on being used together because of the different profiles. Thank you, -Trex Customer Care Trex

                bad material does not lay flat
                These boards are cheaply made, hidden fastners (when screws don’t break) are not holding anything flat. Avoid these decks. Go with other brands

                Hello, and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Foremost we want to extend our sincerest apologies concerning any issues that you have faced during installation. Regarding boards laying flat, Trex is a composite board made up of recycled wood and plastic so like all composites the Trex boards naturally expand and contract which means slight curvature and subtle bowing is a typical characteristic with these materials up to an extent. When the boards are fastened as recommended they are typically drawn down flat to the joists. However if the boards do not go flat after being properly fastened it is possible you could have a warrantable condition. With that said please contact our customer care team at 1-800-289-8739 at your earliest convenience and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to review. We look forward to speaking with you. Thanks, - Trex Customer Care Team Trex

                  Disaster with tree sap
                  Nice looking and seems to be durable. The HUGE negative is that it will not release tree sap. I have contacted technical support and used their recommended methods with no avail. When the sap is removed, there is a white stain that is left. What should have been a wonderful looking deck now looks like a flock of birds is always releasing on it. Trex did not seem overly interested in helping me resolve what probably is a quite common issue with their product. With cedar, I would just apply stripper, power wash and refinish. I changed to composite to eliminate this maintenance and have found that I have spent at least five times the time on my hands and knees scrubbing the deck with no visible success.

                    Sturdy
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I are in the process of revamping our backyard so we’ve looked at various decking options. This decking is very sturdy, appears easy to clean and waterproof. The product looks like a lifetime product. It looks low maintenance and the color is great, no repainting needed every few years. This is one of the finalist for us, we will be requesting a quote / more info once we finalize the design. I think if this product fits with our budget, this is definitely the product we will go with.
