Trex. Transcend alternative decking features the company’s composite core—which is made with 95% recycled plastic and wood flour—wrapped three-quarters around with a coextruded layer that protects the core while providing stain, scratch, and mold resistance. The firm says the shell’s thickness, about two to three times greater than cellular PVC decking’s, also provides for superior fade resistance, wear resistance for high-traffic areas, and a deeper wood-grain. The decking carries a 25-year fade and stain warranty. 800.289.8739. www.trex.com.
