![]() You can also think of these tiers as good- ,better- and best-looking. Each of the major brands has tiered products providing the consumer with good, better and best choices. When it comes to comparing composite deck board brands, it’s not as simple as choosing a brand based on price and looks. Below are some direct comparisons between the most popular composite decking brands available today. Just like most products.This is a continuation from the article Comparing Today’s Composite Decking Prices in 2020. Trex is generally the number one in composite decking. It doesn't matter the brand as long as it is a national big name brand. Some people suggest you find the color and pattern and texture you like. The econo decking almost always requires 12" joist spacing which most older desks don't have. Building permits are generally not required for a re-deck so lots of today's code compliance is not done. From some of the jobs I've seen they do the bare minimum to fix or patch the framing. There are plenty of contractors that specialize in re-decking. There are more customers that can afford the economical decking than those than can afford the premium decking. Mid grade I believe.Ī lot of deck builders use the lower priced products of the various suppliers because of the cost to the customer. I'm building a deck now using Trex Select. If you had to choose between fiberon good life, trex enhance and timbertech prime plus, what would you go with and why? Thanks. To boot the product claims it's not capped on the bottom but the samples were capped on the bottom, so I'm very confused to what the bottom actually looks like.ĭoes anyone here have any familiarity with timbertech prime plus/these other products? Is timbertech prime plus a decent board? I don't love the color options or know anything about the product quality, but to me these are more attractive and realistic looking boards. These boards have a "hand scraped" look and the etching is more subtle. It's in the same price range as trex enhance. Then I stumbled across timbertech prime plus. ? If it wasn't double I'd just get the sanctuary. So sadly I think it's out.however, I priced the board and the good life and trex enhance is 3 bucks a linear foot and the sanctuary is 4, I'm not sure how this equates to double the material cost. I saw a fiberon sanctuary board I liked (the etching is more subtle looking, I think BC of the color) but was told i need to double the cost of materials to get this board. If anyone has photos of a light colored fiberon deck close up can you share and tell me how you feel it looks in person? In an assembled sample I thought it looks very fake. I really like one of the colors, but every board is the same exact wood pattern, and it's very deep. In fiberon good life, I also hated the etched pattern in the good life series. If anyone has lighter colored trex enhance can you please post photos of your deck and tell me what you think of the repetitive plastic pattern? My deck will sit in the sun so I think I need a lighter board for heat. This looked kind of gross and fake and was a major turn off. I really liked a color of trex enhance, but when I saw it pieced together in a show room w the light hitting the boards, they all had the same plastic etched pattern. The contractor I chose says he will install fiberon or timbertech but he's pushing the trex hard.Īnyway so I'm looking at trex enhance (middle priced trex) or fiberon good life (which is the lowest end of fiberon). I called a few people for quotes on timbertech and fiberon and got trex enhance quotes instead. The rumor mill in my circle is "stay away from trex, it's junk-esp if it's not Transcend." Is enhance junk? I actually went and priced the materials out and for low end trex some deck guys wanted 4x the price of the materials to install. I decided to pick the guy in the middle with the mid grade trex price. ![]() I have a rather large deck to reface and was quoted prices all over the map. Hoping someone who is familiar with these products can chime in.
