GENERAL TIPS » Most colored chalk lines are permanent. Use baby powder or Irwin Strait-.Line®* Dust-Off Marking Chalk available at Irwin.com » We DO NOT recommend sanding. Sanding will change the appearance of the surface of Trex® material and will void the warranty with respect to any condition caused by such sanding. » When drilling large or deep holes, periodically lift the bit out of the hole to remove the shavings. » Throughout this guide, feet are converted to meters and inches to centimeters.
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 Trex.com for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
GENERAL INFORMATION TREX TRANSCEND®/TREX ENHANCE®/ 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 further information, see below. 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 DECKING AND RAILING GENERAL CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE (STANDARD COMPOSITE AND PVC) All exterior building materials require cleaning. Trex recommends periodic cleaning with soap and water (for general dirt and debris) or a commercially available deck cleaner twice a year (for stains or mold/mildew). For additional information, see below. PROBLEM SOLUTION Dirt and Debris Clean deck to remove dirt and debris. Soap and hot water is all that is needed.
GENERAL INFORMATION MOLD TECHNICAL BULLETIN Mold is a lower form of plant life that can settle and grow on any surface, including Trex® decking. Mildew is a form of mold that grows on damp surfaces. Mold spores, transported by air, insects, animals, and water, are similar to seeds, but you can’t see them until colonies form. Because mold adapts easily to its environments and has a large number of species, it is hard to control and impossible to eliminate totally.
GENERAL INFORMATION PAINTING TECHNICAL BULLETIN Can Trex Transcend®, Enhance®, or Select™ decking be painted or stained? Trex Transcend, Enhance, and Select decking cannot be painted or stained.** Can Trex Escapes® can be painted or stained? Trex Escapes cannot be painted or stained.** Can Trex Accents® composite decking and railing be painted or stained? Yes, you can stain Trex Accents decking or railing to achieve a custom color, but it is not necessary for protection.
Through extensive testing, Trex has found a product to restore the color on PVC decking including Trex Escapes. The product is called DeckMax******. It is made from a patent pending plant-based solution that cleans and conditions the deck. It is easy to apply by using a microfiber mop. Depending upon the region that the deck is in, it should last on the deck from 1-2 years. It is available from the manufacturer at; www.deckmax.com or 888-219-9411.

PLANNING AHEAD Trex® Decking: » When installing Trex Transcend® Tropical Colors of Spiced Rum, Lava Rock, and Tiki Torch, it is a good idea to mix and match all of the boards on the job site prior to installation to ensure an appealing mix of light and dark tones. Railing (Including ADA Handrail): » First, pick the railing style you want. » Determine the number of balusters you will need based on the railing you choose. See page 50. See www.trex.
PLANNING AHEAD/CONTINUED PLANNING AHEAD DeckProtect® padding/rack be moved from time to time for general cleaning underneath. It should be noted that even when using DeckProtect®, burning embers could “shoot” beyond the protective mat and burn the deck.

DECKING FASTENERS FASTENING TIPS FOR TREX ESCAPES®* TREX AND STATIC ELECTRICITY You can fasten Trex Escapes® with the above fasteners at least 1/2" (1.25 cm) and not more than 4" (10.2 cm) from the board edge without splitting. You do not have to pre-drill with Trex Escapes. The buildup of static electricity on a flat surface can affect walking surfaces. This phenomenon can occur in dry climates, where hot dry winds and dust-born particles can create static electricity on the surface of the decking.
FRAMING AND FASTENING TIPS Composite decking is a great alternative to traditional wood decking. When building your deck and railing, it is recommended that code-approved structural material be used as the framing and joists. One option is using Trex Elevations® steel deck framing. Refer to www.trex.com for more information on Trex Elevations . Check your local building codes for restrictions. Trex® decking cannot be used for structural applications.
ROOFTOP AND SLEEPER DECK SYSTEMS DECKING Sleeper Deck Systems A sleeper system is a buffer 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 is necessary. Good airflow will keep the decking dry and in good condition.
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 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 the shrinkage of the wood joist system. 1/4" – 3/8" (0.6 cm – 1 cm) » ALWAYS follow Trex-recommended gapping guidelines. » Maximum allowable perpendicular overhang for Trex is 4" (10.2 cm). » All decks require air circulation to keep them dry and looking good. To improve air flow, leave .
STAIRS Stairway Detail MAXIMUM SPACING ON CENTER OF JOIST » Stair treads built with Trex meet requirements by the major national building codes. Consult your local municipality for specific requirements. ® » Fasten stair treads continuously across at least four stringers. 2" x 6" (5.1 x 15.2 cm), 1" (2.5 cm) Boards 12" (30.5 cm) Escapes 9" (24 cm) NOTE: For Trex® Select™ Stair Spans refer to www.trex.com » See chart (at right) for center-to-center spacing of profiles. 11" (27.9 cm) min.

HOW TO INSTALL TREX TRANSCEND® PORCH FLOORBOARDS NOTE: When installing Trex Porch Floorboards in a non-covered environment, the porch structure should be slightly sloped to help allow for proper drainage. Joists should be sloped 1/8" (0.3 cm) per foot away from the house to facilitate drainage. Refer to your local building code official for recommendations BEFORE building sub-structure. When installing Trex Porch Floorboards under cover of a roof, no slope is required.
