Customer Reviews for Trex Transcend 1 in. x 6 in. x 1 ft. Lava Rock Composite Deck Board Sample - Red

I purchased several samples of colors I though I liked. It made it very easy to choose when I laid them out on my deck in the sun light, no brainer

When I ordered the Trex board, I had asked 2 stores if they could cut the 20' lenghts to 10' for easier transport. They bothe said yes. When I went to pick up my Trex board they refused to cut the board and I had to go through some loops to transport the board home.

At 11:00 AM, 66* out it's already too hot to walk on. It's been installed for 1 day and already has stains on it. Wish I had done redwood. I have one of the lighter colors Island mist.

Nice stuff, easy to work with.

Samples were a good size and worked out great.

Excellent product and color choices. Only bad part is the rise in cost for said material. Will wait and see where the prices go in the next year.

We very much like the product, just not the new prices!!! We will wait for the prices to make sense again. Hopefully!!

I built a 15' by 16' deck in the summer of 2010 utilizing Trex Transcend decking. This deck has a southerly exposure. The durability and quality of these boards are second to none. After 11 years it looks as it did the day I completed it. Aside from an annual soap and wash this deck is otherwise zero maintenance. I'm certain the deck will outlast the 25 year warranty. I could not be happier with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

The sample was great.

I am reviewing Trex Transend about six years after I rebuilt my redwood deck. I got tired of having to do extensive maintenance every 3 or 4 years on the redwood but the last straw was damage to the sub-structure from carpenter ants. After six years, my deck looks like new. I am not exaggerating. I live at 8300ft elevation in Colorado. At this elevation UV exposure is usually a problem with fading and deterioration of most plastics. The other day I brought a spare board out from the basement and compared it to the deck area with the most sun exposure. No fading, no deterioration of any kind. High traffic areas like the steps leading up to the deck also has no wear. My only complaint is that the simulated wood grain is a pine tree pollen magnet. Every late spring I pressure wash it with soap. Takes less that an hour to restore the newness. Did I mention extensive maintenance to my old redwood deck? I also made several custom assemblies such as a handrail and custom covering around the railing posts. I assembled the pieces with water resistant white wood glue and I painted exposed cuts with matching spray paint. Six years later, still like new.

The decking boards are really good quality just as they have been since I first started using them 6 or 7 years ago. If you intend to use the Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Fasteners, beware. They have changed the screws for those fasteners from a high quality metal with star slot to a much softer aluminum with square slot. If you're not extremely careful the screw will strip out meaning you must back the screw out, if possible, and put in another screw. Don't worry, they supply you with a whole bag of extras in every box of fasteners. I guess that's there way of fixing the problem. If you can't back it out you must remove all the other screws in that board, take the board up and put in a new fastener. So very aggravating.5 stars for the boards, 0 stars for the Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Fasteners.

Im literally only writing this review to respond to the comment posted that the finish is not all they way through the board. Obviously its not, trex and any other composite explain the finish on their websites. Don’t post a review when you dont know what you’re talking about.

My contractor talked me into using this product — purchased from Home Depot — for a large deck. It was a very expensive project, and I expected the deck to remain in good shape for at least a decade. But within a few months of exposure to the elements, the deck boards had shrunk considerably. Some of the boards warped. The deck has been in for a little over a year, and the boards are so shrunken now that you can see all of the undermounting clips. There has been significant fading, too. This is a terrible product! I would not recommend it to anyone. (I plan to file a warranty claim, but from what I have read online I would say that I have little chance of success.)

Used sample for color matching.

Installed 16 inch on center with Trex hidden fasteners. Easy to work and install. Very solid feel to deck. Appearance and texture is outstanding. Expensive but so far worth the extra cost. Time will tell on durability and fade resistance.
