What are the problems with Trex decking?
Many Trex deck owners have complained of flaking, deterioration and even in extreme cases virtual disintegration of their Trex decks. It seems that under some conditions the coating seal placed on Trex composite decking can fail, exposing it to the elements.
Why is my Trex deck flaking?
Trex has previously announced that a small percentage of decking boards manufactured at its Fernley, Nevada plant between 2002 and 2007 suffered from surface flaking due to a manufacturing problem. In general, Trex recommends that homeowners always monitor their decks to ensure the structure is in good condition.
