Outdoor living in Australia has been given a fresh lift in comfort and design with the launch of Trex Select®, the industry’s first mid-tier composite decking to offer heat-mitigation*. Trex, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, low-maintenance wood-alternative decking and residential railing, has expanded its range with new boards crafted for local style preferences and Australian climate conditions.
Trex Select features the brand’s exclusive SunComfortable
technology, an advanced heat-mitigating technology engineered into the boards to reflect solar energy and reduce heat absorption. This helps to keep boards cooler* than previous generations of decking, making Select a perfect choice for use in the places where Aussies spend their best moments outdoors – from pool edges and sun-drenched decks to weekend barbeques on breezy verandahs and elevated coastal outlooks.
The new collection is available in three colours ideally suited to Australia’s natural landscapes. Whiskey Barrel, a warm and rich brown, mirrors the depth and character of native hardwoods, bringing a grounded feel to open-air retreats. Malted Barley draws on the earthy browns and soft greys found across rural farmlands, offering an inviting warmth that suits both modern and classic home styles. Millstone, with its weathered grey and charcoal undertones, captures the rugged beauty of coastal rock shelves and sun-bleached driftwood, making it perfect for coastal outdoor spaces.
Built for longevity as much as lifestyle, Trex Select decking delivers the low-maintenance benefits homeowners expect from Trex. Its ultra-durable, integrated shell resists fading, staining, scratching and mould, and won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter like traditional timber**. Furthermore, upkeep is hassle-free: no sanding, staining or sealing is ever required, and spills wash away easily with soap and water***, allowing homeowners to spend more time enjoying their outdoor spaces and less time maintaining them.
For Australian builders and TrexPro® installers, Trex Select offers a straightforward, high-value solution that stands up to demanding conditions and client expectations. Its solid profile allows it to be curved for greater design flexibility while its reliable, consistent performance makes it ideal for projects ranging from coastal decks and suburban backyards to rural verandahs and rooftop terraces.
Enhancing its appeal and versatility, Trex Select is also fully submersible and rated for W.U.I. (Wild Urban Interface) compliance, making it suitable for marine environments and areas vulnerable to bushfires – an important consideration across many regions of Australia.
In line with Trex’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, Trex Select is comprised of 95% reclaimed wood fibres and recycled plastic film. For added peace of mind, Trex Select decking is backed by a 35-Year Limited Residential Fade & Stain Warranty and a 10-Year Limited Commercial Warranty, reinforcing its value for both homeowners and professionals.
Trex Select decking with SunComfortable technology is now available nationwide through authorised Trex dealers and distributors. To learn more, visit Trex.com or contact your local Trex supplier for product specifications, samples, and installation details.
*Trex SunComfortable decking stays cooler than original Trex boards, but like all decking, it will get hot in direct sun, especially darker colours. Care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
