GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY When working on any construction project, you should wear protective clothing and safety equipment. Wear safety glasses, gloves, a dust mask and long sleeves, particularly when cutting in confined spaces. Trex decking and railing are heavier and more flexible than wood. DO NOT try to lift the same quantity of Trex boards as you would traditional lumber. Go to www.trex.com for Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
GENERAL INFORMATION TREX TRANSCEND®, TREX ENHANCE®, AND TREX SELECT® CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE All exterior building materials require cleaning. Generally, soap and water is all that is required to clean Transcend, Enhance, and Select products. For additional information, see below. 6 PROBLEM SOLUTION Dirt and Debris The affected area should be sprayed off with a hose to remove surface debris. Use warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and debris from the embossing pattern.
GENERAL INFORMATION TREX TRANSCEND®, TREX ENHANCE®, AND TREX SELECT® CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE PROBLEM SOLUTION While this is not common, static electricity can occur on walking surfaces in dry climates or in areas where dry winds and dust-borne particles lay on the decking surfaces. Static electricity can build up on occupants walking across any composite decking surface, including Trex, then produce a small static shock if they touch a grounded metal surface such as railing, door, etc.
GENERAL INFORMATION TREX® SIGNATURE™ RAILING CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE Maintaining the appearance of your Trex® Signature™ railing is important. The occasional wash is recommended as over time your Trex® Signature™ railing may show signs of weathering as a result of exposure to the elements. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment and exposure to various types of elements.

DECKING AND FASCIA RECOMMENDED FASTENERS If any condition occurs which is attributable to the use of non-recommended fasteners, such condition shall not be covered under the Trex Limited Warranty.
TREX® FASCIA INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Trex Fascia utilized around the perimeter of a deck must be gapped with the same requirements as Trex decking to allow for air flow and expansion/contraction of the fascia. When Using Approved Fascia Fasteners: NOTE: The fasteners listed below can only be used with 1x8 or 1x12 fascia product, and cannot be used with decking product that is being used as fascia trim or stair risers.
NOTE: When using pneumatic or battery-operated equipment, adjust the pressure so that you only shoot the head of the screw to be flush with the board’s cap. DO NOT shoot the fastener head completely through the shell. TREX PRODUCTS NEAR LOW-E WINDOWS Low-E glass reflects more sunlight, and it has been observed that the extra reflectivity combined with any concavity in the glass can act like that of a concave mirror, concentrating sunlight onto outdoor objects, including that of decking and railing.
ROOFTOP AND SLEEPER DECK SYSTEMS–PRESSURE TREATED FRAMING A sleeper system is a substructure between a solid surface and Trex decking. Drainage, access, and airflow are critical. Water must be able to flow through and away from the deck. For repairs and removal of debris, joist system access may be necessary. NOTE: English measurements are shown, convert to metric measurements if necessary. 1/4" (All Temps) 1/8" (>40°F) 3/16" (<40°F) 1/4" (>40°F) 1/2" (<40°F) 1/2" Max. Overhang Min.
METAL FRAMING REQUIREMENTS AND GAPPING NOTE: Metric measurements are shown , convert to US measurements if necessary. Two screws per joist Gap decking width-to-width 6mm (All Temps) Gap decking end-to-end 3mm (>4°C) 5mm (<4°C) Double joist spacing per manufacturers requiremenrs requirements DECKING 13mm max.
CODE COMPLIANCE Joist Spanning for Decking Trex decking meets all applicable national model building codes. The joists must be spaced on center according to the chart below. Be sure that joists are level and plumb. Trex decking must span at least three joists. For heavy items such as hot tubs, planters, etc., consult a local building engineer or inspector for span recommendations. If you want to minimize the appearance of joists through the spaces between boards, paint the top of your joists black.
GAPPING and OVERHANG You must gap Trex decking, both end-to-end and width-to-width. Gapping is necessary for drainage and the slight thermal expansion and contraction of Trex decking boards. Gapping also allows for shrinkage of the wood joist system. » ALWAYS follow Trex-recommended gapping guidelines. » Maximum allowable perpendicular overhang for all Trex decking is 1/2" (13 mm). » All decks require air circulation to keep them dry and looking good.
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING TREX DECKING It is recommended to clean cut boards on both ends minimum 3/16" (5mm). To ensure an appealing mix of color tones, mix and match all boards prior to installation.
