See the links below to find a dealer near you.įloor Critics Winner: Tie Both brands offer thousands of different retailers or dealers to get their decking products. They can be found in big box retailers like Home Depot or Lowe’s as well as many local retailers. Availabilityīoth Timbertech and Trex are wildly available in thousands of retailers. However, it also important to consider the how long the decking can last based on its durability and also the on-going maintenance costs. You can expect to find better deals during the winter months so that is something to consider if you have room to store the materials.įloor Critics Winner: Trex From purely a cost perspective, Trex has a lower price point. While the cost of composite decking is greater than wood upfront, over the long-term, composite decking will provide the higher return on investment. Total material cost factoring these other items can be in the $15-30 per square foot range and that’s before installation. Keep in mind there will additional costs for substructure, railing, etc. This TimberTech vs Trex is therefor a tie. Our own scratching test, found the Trex to be a bit better. In the samples we tested, we found the Trex (specifically the Transcend line which is their high-end line) to be more scratch resistant than the TimberTech AZEK line.įloor Critics Winner: Tie While the test result was clearly in favor of TimberTech, we remain impartial as the test was sponsored by TimberTech themselves. The results of the test found that Trex decking boards showed 7 times more fading than TimberTech boards. They compared the TimberTech vs Trex line of decking products and measured derating. The test ran for a total of 2,150 hours in a Weather-Ometer that had an 8 hour UV radiation cycle followed by 4 hours of darkness. TimberTech had a third party run a fade comparison test that measured color change over time and fade resistance. Furthermore, we are not sure why Trex offers the same warranty for all three tiers of their decking products. On their highest quality product, their warranty is 2x that of Trex. Year of Claim Recoveryįloor Critics Winner: TimberTech TimberTech’s confidence in their product shows in the warranty length. For example, both the TimberTech EDGE and the Trex warranties after year 10 look the same in terms of recovery percentage. It is worth pointing out that manufacturers have the right to prorate recovery due to fade and stains after year 10.
