![]() ![]() Incremental warranty protection: 25-, 35-, and 50-year limited warranties for most products. Enhanced aesthetics: richer, long-lasting color palettes and natural wood grain patterns. Easier maintenance: requiring only an occasional cleaning with soap and water or a pressure washer. In addition to improved performance, the shell technology offers: Newer generation Trex deck boards ( Trex Transcend® Lineage™, Trex Transcend®, Trex Enhance®, Trex Select®, Trex Contour®) are manufactured with a high-performance shell that wraps around three sides of the composite board to protect it from the elements, providing resistance to fading, staining, scratching and mold. As of 2014, Trex no longer manufactures any early-generation composite decking. ![]() To address these issues, Trex introduced a new kind of high-performance decking in 2010. Even so, all early generation wood-plastic composites, whether Trex or a competitor's product, were not stain, scratch or mold-free, and did fade slightly in color as they naturally weathered. As the category evolved, this early-generation composite was offered in additional colors and with grain patterns that reflected a more natural appearance. Periodic cleanings with a composite deck cleaner were far easier than the dreaded sanding and staining required to maintain wood decks. While wood decking inevitably suffered splinters, warping and rotting, and required considerable maintenance, early-generation Trex never had to be stained and did not rot, warp or twist like wood. Today's Trex decks resist blemishes with an innovative, high-performance shell that wraps around three sides of our deck boards.Įarly-generation composite decking (Trex Origins®, Trex Accents®, Trex Profiles®, Trex Brasilia® and Trex Contours®) represented a breakthrough for low-maintenance and durability. Newer-generation decking is easy to spot because of its resilience. While our early-generation decking was groundbreaking for its time, spills and scuffs can still leave a mark. Never stop application in the middle of the board.If you've noticed any staining, scratching or fading over the years, it's likely you have early-generation decking.Vertical cladding should be coated from top to bottom.Always work the entire length of a deck board or cladding board to a logical break.For colour uniformity, mix all the product that is to be applied to any one area or section together before use.Cover and protect everything you do not wish to coat.Do not apply if cold and/or wet weather is expected within 24 hours.Do not apply in direct sunlight or to hot surfaces.First clean surface with Compo-Clean, then apply a single application of Compoxell to the entire surface according to the application instructions above. Compoxell requires no sanding or stripping prior to the application of a maintenance coat. ![]() Maintenance is due when treated areas turn clear. This will depend on exposure to the sun, weather and foot traffic. Clean UpĬlean all tools used with soap and water. Simply apply a single, even coat of Compoxell to the entire length or piece of wood, stopping at any natural breaks to avoid lapping. Stir the product thoroughly before and periodically during application. Application of Compoxell composite wood coating We would recommend using Owatrol’s Compo-Clean to clean your composite wood. After cleaning allow the wood to thoroughly dry before applying the finish. Scrub the solution on to the surface and allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Initially, surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, oil, mildew and stains. Treat any existing mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Always read the Compoxell Technical Data Sheet before using and follow the instructions carefully. ![]()
