In 2004 I did my research and selected TimberTech as my decking of choice and have hundreds of thousand of feet installed with no issues. ![]() The last time I used Trex was 2003, three years later that deck completely failed and we were lucky to get in for a claim in while Trex still had money. But Trex had the name and sold a lot of decking, which failed and created a big problem. TimberTech also used a formulation in their production that gave them quality control, something Trex didn't have, with Trex it was garbage in garbage out, and this lead to all the failures in my opinion. This made a huge difference and their product became the quality standard to strive for. The big change came in the early 2000's, TimberTech introduced color to their product. TimberTech came on board in the mid 90's and had some failures back then also, go check out there original Natural product. From that time through the late 90's the composite industry had a lot of trail and error and consumers had a lot of ugly composite decks, and a lot of poor installations from contractors who just don't read directions. Trex was using recycle content for their plastic element of their product, back then it was the only composite decking, we did a lot of experimenting with finding the right fasteners, etc. Back then the green movement was just getting started and a lot of search and trail and error was taking place. I was initially attracted to Trex because of the green aspect. I started working with Trex back in 1994 when Trex was owned by the Mobile Oil corporation. ![]() They are the best company with the best product.
