Why choose
Arlington Coal and Lumber Co for your Trex needs? Trex decking is a leading brand in composite decking, renowned for being an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood. It's primarily made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood fibers and recycled plastic film. This composition makes it exceptionally durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to common issues that plague natural wood, such as rot, splinters, warping, and insect infestation.
- Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Fasteners: This system is designed to create a clean, fastener-free deck surface. Instead of drilling screws through the face of the deck boards, which leaves visible screw heads, Trex Hideaway uses specialized clips that fit into grooves on the sides of Trex grooved deck boards. These clips securely fasten the boards to the underlying joists from beneath, resulting in a smooth, unblemished finish.
- Trex Protect Deck Joist and Beam Tape: This product is a self-adhesive, butyl-based tape designed to shield the wooden substructure (joists and beams) of your deck from moisture and rot. When building a deck, the wooden frame beneath the decking boards is highly susceptible to water damage from rain, snow, and condensation that seeps through the gaps. Trex Protect creates a vital barrier, extending the life of your deck's foundation.
Ideal Projects and Applications for Trex Hideaway & Trex Protect: Both Trex Hideaway and Trex Protect are integral components for building or renovating any outdoor living space that utilizes Trex composite decking. They work together to create a comprehensive, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing deck system from the ground up.
- New Deck Construction: This is the most common and ideal application. When building a new deck, using both Trex Protect on the substructure and Trex Hideaway for the decking installation ensures maximum longevity and a premium finish. The protected joists provide a stable foundation, while the hidden fasteners offer a flawless top surface.
- Deck Renovation/Resurfacing: If you're replacing old wooden deck boards with new Trex composite decking, applying Trex Protect to the existing joists (after inspection and necessary repairs) is highly recommended. This breathes new life into the substructure and extends its lifespan to match the new, durable Trex boards. Trex Hideaway would then be used for installing the new grooved Trex boards.
- Custom Deck Designs: For intricate deck designs, multi-level decks, or decks with unique shapes, the consistent spacing and clean lines offered by Trex Hideaway are particularly beneficial. Trex Protect ensures that all underlying structural elements, regardless of complexity, are shielded from moisture.
- Pool Decks and Spas: Areas around pools or spas are constantly exposed to water. Trex Protect is vital here to safeguard the wooden substructure from continuous moisture, and Trex Hideaway provides a smooth, slip-resistant surface perfect for bare feet.
- Docks and Waterfront Applications: While requiring marine-grade substructures, Trex Protect can still offer an added layer of defense against moisture. Trex Hideaway provides a durable, low-maintenance surface ideal for high-moisture environments.
- Outdoor Living Areas (Beyond Just Flat Decks): Consider composite stairs, landings, or pathways. Trex Hideaway ensures a smooth transition and aesthetic consistency, while Trex Protect protects any underlying wood framing.
