LIMITED FADE & STAIN WARRANTY
For the term set forth below, Trex Company, Inc. (hereinafter “Trex”) warrants to the original end-user purchaser
(the “Purchaser”) that Trex Transcend® decking or porch planks, Trex Enhance® decking, or Trex Universal Fascia,
as the case may be (the “Product”) will perform, under normal use and service conditions, as follows:
Term of Warranty: The term of this warranty shall begin on the date of original purchase, and shall end (1)
twenty-five (25) years thereafter for a residential application of the Product, and (2) ten (10) years thereafter for a
commercial application of the Product.
Residential/Commercial Application: For purposes of this warranty, a “residential application” shall refer to an
installation of the Product on an individual residence, and a “commercial application” shall refer to any installation
of the Product other than on an individual residence.
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 stain-proof, and does not warrant stain
resistance resulting from spilled or otherwise applied food and beverage substances which are not properly cleaned
as provided above within one (1) week of exposure. In addition, materials not covered in the stain resistant warranty
include abrasive compounds of acidic or basic pH, paints or stains, strong solvents, metallic rust or other abnormal
deck use items, and non-food and non-beverage substances, including but not limited to, biocides, fungicides, plant
food, or bactericides. Mold and mildew can settle and grow on any outdoor surface, including this Product. You
should periodically 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.
Standard Trex Company Limited Warranty: This warranty is in addition to the standard Trex Company Limited
Warranty that applies to all Trex products.
Transferability: With respect to a residential application, this warranty may be transferred one (1) time, within the
five (5) year period beginning from the date of original purchase by the Purchaser, to a subsequent buyer of the
property upon which the Trex products were originally installed. With respect to a commercial application, this
warranty is freely transferable to subsequent buyers of the property upon which the Trex products were originally
installed.
Exclusions from Warranty Coverage:
Exposure to Heat: Direct or indirect contact with extreme heat sources (over 275 degrees) may cause fading and
may damage the surface of the Product, and any effects of such exposure are expressly excluded from coverage
under this warranty.
Surface Damage: Never use metal shovels or sharp-edged tools to remove snow and ice on the surface of the
Product. If the surface of the Product is damaged or punctured, this warranty will be voided.
Paint or Other Materials Applied to the Product: If paint or other coating materials are applied to the Product,
this warranty will be voided.
