Why Composite Decking Is Getting Better Than Ever: New Tech, More Comfort, and Stunning Style

When it comes to outdoor living, homeowners want more than just a deck—they want a beautiful, low-maintenance space that’s built to last. Over the past several years, composite decking has made major strides, and brands like Trex are leading the way with innovations that blend performance, comfort, and style like never before.

This spring, Trex is raising the bar yet again with exciting additions to their Select® line, designed to meet the needs of homeowners looking for premium aesthetics at a mid-tier price point.

☀️ New SunComfort™ Technology: Cooler Underfoot

One of the standout features in the latest Trex Select® collection is SunComfort™ heat-mitigating technology—a first in the industry for boards at this price level. This new tech is engineered to help reduce heat retention, making decks more comfortable underfoot, even in full sun. If you’ve ever tiptoed barefoot across a deck on a hot summer day, this feature is a game-changer!

Fresh Colors with Elevated Aesthetics

Trex’s expanded Select line also introduces three stylish new colors designed to align with current design trends and homeowner preferences. Each shade features a refined woodgrain pattern with subtle streaking and a more natural finish:

Whiskey Barrel – A rich, rustic brown with cozy, refined streaking
Malted Barley – A warm, earthy tone with soft grey undertones
Millstone – A classic weathered grey with shadowed detailing for a timeless look

These new boards complement the existing Pebble Grey and Saddle options, giving homeowners more ways to match their deck to their home’s style and landscape.

More Options for Railing Too

To pair with their new decking boards, Trex is also expanding their moderately priced Select aluminum railing, along with updates to their composite railing system. Whether you prefer the sleek, modern look of aluminum or the classic appeal of composite, there’s now a solution that fits your vision—and your

Why It Matters

With more choices and better technology, today’s composite decking isn’t just about being low-maintenance—it’s about delivering comfort, style, and performance all in one. Whether you’re replacing an aging wood deck or planning a brand-new build, the expanded Trex Select® line gives you the flexibility to create an outdoor space that looks great, feels great, and lasts for decades.
