- Is this board wider than standard composite decking?
- Yes. It is 12 inches wide, roughly double the common 5.5-inch deck board, so it covers more area per board and needs fewer fasteners.
- Does composite decking need sealing or staining?
- No. Composite boards are made to resist moisture, rot and insects without the annual staining and sealing wood requires. Occasional cleaning is enough.
- Can I use standard hidden fasteners with it?
- Use fasteners and clips rated for Trex composite boards and follow Trex's gapping guidance, since composite expands and contracts with temperature.
- Will it get hot in the sun?
- Composite can run warmer than wood in direct sun. Lighter colors stay cooler; this brown board may be hot underfoot on bright days.
- Is it heavier than wood decking?
- Yes. Composite boards are denser and heavier than pressure-treated wood, so plan for two-person handling on long runs.
