- Does this board need painting or sealing?
- No. The composite cap is made to hold its color without stain or sealant; cleaning with soap and water is the routine care.
- What is the groove for?
- The groove runs along the board's edge to take hidden fastening clips, so the deck surface shows no screw heads.
- Can I use it for a ground-level deck?
- It is a decking surface board, not framing. Build the frame from pressure-treated lumber or steel at the joist spacing Trex specifies, then fasten the boards.
- How does it compare with Trex Enhance?
- Select sits above the entry Enhance line with a capped, more fade-resistant surface; both are low-maintenance composites, and Select offers a more finished look.
- Will the color fade?
- Trex rates the capped surface for fade and stain resistance, and owners generally report the gray holds up, though very harsh sun can lighten it slightly over many years.
- Can I cut it to length?
- Yes. It cuts with standard woodworking tools; use a carbide blade and reseal cut ends per Trex guidance.
- Where is the Trex Select Millstone Grooved Composite Deck Board 1-in x 6-in x 20-ft cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $5,799.00, as of our latest check.
