Overview

Trex Select® composite decking introduces the industry’s first mid-priced board with heat mitigation. Featuring Trex’s proprietary SunComfortable™ IR technology, Select decking is engineered to reflect the sun and keep the surface cooler than other composite offerings. It is also submersible and rated for W.U.I. compliance, making it ideal for marine applications and areas susceptible to wildfires.

Select decking features a solid board profile that delivers increased durability, structural integrity and the ability to be curved. Boards come in 12’, 16’ and 20’ lengths and accommodate Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fasteners, allowing for a smooth, unfettered finish. This compatibility simplifies installation and enhances the deck’s visual appeal.

To align with current consumer preferences, the 2025 additions to the Trex Select line introduce a brightened color palette and updated grain pattern with subtle streaking and refined embossing. The low-sheen finish provides a more natural wood look while minimizing glare in sunny conditions.

Malted Barley – a warm earthy shade with soft and subtle grey undertones

Millstone – a natural, weathered grey with a timeless shadowed undertone

Whiskey Barrel – a rich, rustic brown complemented with cozy, refined streaking

Like all Trex decking, Select boards are sustainably made from up to 95% recycled and reclaimed content and engineered with a proprietary, high-traffic formulation and ultra-durable integrated shell that resists stains, scratches and mold. They won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter like wood, and upkeep is hassle-free. No sanding, staining or painting is ever needed, and spills wash off easily with just soap and water.

Uniquely positioned in the mid-tier price segment, Trex Select is ideal for price-conscious builders and homeowners who value durability, design flexibility and enhanced performance. Adding further appeal, Select decking is backed by a 35-year Residential Warranty and a 10-year Commercial Warranty.
