Low-Maintenance & Worry-Free Performance

Cooler Under the Sun*
Tide Pool and Honey Grove, two new colors that offer heat-mitigating technology for budget-minded builds for a worry-free alternative to wood.
*Although Trex decking products with heat-mitigating technology are designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot sunny day, it will get hot. On hot days, care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
Sustainable Style
Each Enhance Basics board is made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and plastic film. The collection offers an authentic wood look with none of the environmental downsides of deforestation or chemical-treated lumber.
