- Does Trex Transcend need sealing or painting?
- No. The capped composite surface does not need stain, sealant or paint, and it cleans with soap and water.
- How far apart should the joists be?
- Trex specifies joists no more than 16 in on center for this board, and closer spacing on stairs and at 45-degree angles.
- Will the boards fade or stain?
- The polymer cap is made to resist fading and staining, and owners report color holding up over years. Spills should still be wiped promptly.
- Can I use it around a pool?
- Yes. Composite resists moisture and rot, though the surface can be hot in direct sun and may be slippery when wet.
- How does it compare with PVC decking?
- Trex Transcend is stiffer and less slick than many PVC boards and has a more wood-like look, but it is heavier and can run hotter in sun.
- What is in the box?
- The pack contains 48 boards, each 1 in thick, 6 in wide and 20 ft long. Hidden fasteners and screws are sold separately.
- Where is the Trex Transcend 1 in x 6 in x 20 ft Composite Deck Board 48 Pack cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $6,144.00, as of our latest check.
