25-YEAR LIMITED RESIDENTIAL FADE AND STAIN
WARRANTY
For a period of twenty-five (25) years from the date of original purchase, Trex Company, Inc. (hereinafter “Trex”) warrants
to the original end-user residential purchaser (the “Purchaser”) that Trex Transcend
®
decking (the “Product”) will perform,
under normal residential use and service conditions, as follows:
Fade Resistance: The Product shall not fade in color from light and weathering exposure as measured by color change of
more than 5 Delta E (CIE) units.
The Product is designed to resist fading. No material is fade proof when exposed to years of UV exposure and the elements.
The Product is designed to resist fading, and will not in any event fade by more than 5 Delta E (CIE) units.
Stain Resistance: The Product shall be resistant to permanent staining resulting from spills of food and beverage items
including ketchup, mustard, salad oils, tea, wine, coffee, fruit punch, barbeque sauce, grease, sodas and other food and
beverage related items that would typically be present on a residential deck, or mold and mildew naturally occurring in the
environment, provided that such substances are removed from the Product with soap and water or mild household cleaners
after no more than one (1) week of exposure of the food or beverage to the surface or first appearance of the mold and
mildew.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trex does not warrant that the Product is stainproof, and does not warrant stain resistance
resulting from spilled or otherwise applied food and beverage substances which are not properly cleaned as provided

clean your deck to remove dirt and pollen that can feed mold and mildew. This warranty does not cover mold and mildew
which is not properly cleaned as provided above within one (1) week of first appearance.
Residential Purchaser: For purposes of this warranty, a “residential purchaser” shall refer to an individual residential
homeowner.
Standard Trex Company Limited Residential Warranty: This warranty is in addition to the standard Trex Company
Limited Residential Warranty that applies to all Trex products.
