Very informative and well done. You answered all my questions and also information I didn't know I needed. Thanks !!!

What a great video! We build roughly 40 decks annually. We use Azek PVC decking on the regular. We Coretex and plug the entire deck. Im not sure how long those plastic Trex clips will hold over time and the screws holding them are thin, in our opinion. The Trex boards before installing, while on site, seem to curl up in the sun where as the Azek does not. Trex is heavier. It also seems to expands and contract in the hot Virginia sun more than the Azek. The linear edges of Trex are manufactured slightly higher than the field of the board which can hold just enough moisture to frost over and be very slippery. With that said, all of the brands when frosted over are slippery. We only use Trex when requested. We do not really care for it. Timber Tech or Azek carry superior products in our opinion. Caution to all! Avoid walking bare foot in the summer, I dont care what any manufacturer says about that. Thanks for the awesome video! I love other deck builders insight. It helps us all provide the best product we can! I watch Dr. Decks too!

There is so much more I could have said about these two brands. Two brands of which I have had the pleasure of building with the most of all composite decking brands.

Very informative video, my brother in law is putting in a timber tech deck. Myself I love the grain affect of trex, plus possibly the safety aspect of traction.

Perfect deckin’ demonstration! Straight to the point and lots of information. Thanks!

I do not know much about deck materials but I am getting a new composite deck built and I think this was a very well presented video. Fully enjoyed it and understood it. Great job Decks by E3!

Great info. Helped me make a decision.

Building a deck and was curious what the difference was. Great video and very informative. Thank you!

It's quite obvious that you prefer the Trex. I never install the Trex because of the delamination issues over time. The grooves in the bottom of the decking is to reduce the mass and make the decking cooler on bare feet which is common for such dense material. We as a company only install Timbertech as warranty issues are virtually nil after 21 years. I've tore up and replaced Trex but never Timbertech unless it was damaged by a snow shovel, lol.

Thank you for the video!. I just spent $7k on trex decking and on a sunny day it gets REALLY REALLY HOT, customer and I are very disappointed

Would you use composite decking for a shed ramp where you’d be driving a riding lawn mower up it? Only 6 boards so cost not an issue. 2x6 12” in. Center.

I live in Ontario, Canada and we have harsh winters. I am replacing my wooden deck with composite. I have a lot of high traffic through my deck because it leads to my garage so winter time I am shoveling it and using melting salt. Which one and which line would you recommend to be the most durable and withstand wear and scratches? Thank you!

Have you done a comparison between Timbertech composite and their Azek pvc lines?

Any idea which Trex Transcend color is closest to Trex Select Saddle? Id like the thicker board.

Thank you for sharing!

Just did a trex deck…love it

Thanks Ryan for making such an informative video- you seemed to hit all my key questions. It really helps someone like me new to composite decking. Now all I have to do is learn more about "side clip hidden fastening system" - it sounds interesting. Is this a method you use often or recommend? Or is to too complex for most applications or DIYers?

What would you recommend for decking for a deck with a pool.

I think either product is fine. Both will likely outlive the wood framing. I picked Timbertech due to more natural looking color/grain blending. The Trex boards have a more plastic look that is not evident in Timbertech. Probably because of the higher plastic content. I due however like the Trex hidden fastener much better. In the end it came down to the look.

This was a great comparison 👏

Thank you for posting the video. With the bad publicity Trex received a few years ago regarding poor manufacturing of their products and a big law suit, what is your assessment of their product quality in 2020 as opposed to 10 years ago. What's different today? Product durability is a crucial factor to me when evaluating different companies. How is Trex doing compared to their competition when it comes to long term fading, warping, cracking, product warrantee claims, etc.? Thanks again.

You mentioned using a sealer--what brand? We have big concern about 60 lb dog nail scratches

That was great...thank you

I'm getting Trex Transcend installed as we speak!

Since each manufacturer has it's "good/better/best" line of decking, it basically comes down to color. The higher you go in price, the better the color palette. Oddly though, I built an elevated deck last year using AZEK capped PVC in English Walnut ($4.99 LF at the time, now $5.79), and just completed the lower deck using Trex Toasted Sand ($2.79 LF). The appearance is nearly exact.......the texture of the Trex is the only major difference.

We are a decking contractor near Annapolis Maryland. We use azek on all our projects. The price tag is getting to high to sell to people.

What is your opinion on face screwing with plugs vs clips on the side?

TimberTech advertises heat resistant decking. After having walked on a Trex deck this is a very important feature. Have you noticed any difference between the two? And have you worked with Tanzite decking?

Great video. You sound like John c Reilly lol

I have a question to you If you can help me out or give me Advice. thank you

Are there any products that are not wraps?

It’s important to note that in Ontario, Canada, Trex is approved for decking under the OBC, because they have the CMCC report. Whereas, Timbertech is not an approved decking under the OBC because the company refuses to submit their product for evaluation to produce the requisite CMCC report to pass a building inspection. It is being sold in Ontario because there are no regulations limiting such products from being sold, but anyone who uses the Timbertech product will not pass a building inspection. I spoke with Timbertech and they chose not to achieve a CMCC report for their top of the line product. Makes one wonder what are they trying to hide.

How do they hold up to everyday wear? Do they mold?

Consumer Reports did an extensive test for slip resistance.

Minor comment...your text display should be just above the camera so your vision is at the camera...not above it a foot or more, causing your eyes keep looking up...a Videographers trick.

One person's experience with Timbertech which I had installed about five years ago on a multilevel deck. It is awful. Started to stain a couple years ago and we couldn't get it clean. The slightest movement of a piece of furniture scratched it. The stains got so bad I decided to use their warranty. They make you jump through hoops; photos, documentation, drawings of the deck and a requirement that I send them one of the boards. Then I learned that after all that, if they approve, I will have to pay to remove and replace all the boards at my expense. Horrible product.

When you compare each, you should compare with the same quality product (best line with best line, not Trex best with Timbertech lower line). You don’t use cortex screws with grooved deck boards, you use the hidden fasteners. You sound very biased to Trex, not very objectionable. You use the Trex best product line and compare it to Timbertech entry level products.

Your teleprompter shouldn’t be at the ceiling….

the deeper embossment makes it look more fake to me.

lol

No offense, but it is pronounced “com-posit”, not “compo-sit”

Wood is far superior in all ways at least you can maintain wood ,trex and timbertech is plastic crap soilent green is people

It's pronounced - comPOSite, not COMposite.
