The Art of Outdoor Living: Where Luxury, Longevity and Nature Meet

There’s a quiet shift happening in luxury design — one that extends the beauty of interior spaces seamlessly into the outdoors. No longer an afterthought, a deck has become an architectural focal point, blending material innovation and sustainability to create modern outdoor living spaces.
At the forefront of this evolution is Trex, a brand that has continually reimagined what’s possible in outdoor living for three decades. What began as an idea to create a more sustainable, durable alternative to wood has become a design movement, shaping the way we experience outdoor living. Today, that legacy continues with Trex Transcend® Lineage® and Trex Signature®, two collections that redefine the intersection of innovation, sustainability and style in low-maintenance decking.
Elevating Outdoor Design: Trex Transcend® Lineage® Decking
Trex Transcend Lineage composite decking represents the next evolution in design-led decking. The collection is distinguished by its subtle graining and rich, nature-inspired hues— qualities that mirror the natural materials found in today’s most sophisticated interiors.
Designed with performance in mind, Lineage is crafted with Trex’s exclusive SunComfortable™ technology, engineered to be cooler* than their original boards. And with an array of colors to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find just the right shade of protection for your outdoor living space.
*Trex SunComfortable™ decking stays cooler than our original boards, but like all decking, it will get hot in direct sun, especially darker colors. Care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
Like all Trex decking, Lineage boards are sustainably made from up to 95% reclaimed and recycled materials and are engineered to resist fading, staining, scratching and mold. They won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter like wood, and upkeep is hassle-free — just an occasional cleaning with soap and water keeps boards looking new for decades.
The Pinnacle of Style and Sustainability: Trex Signature® Decking
For those drawn to the texture, warmth and depth of natural hardwoods, Trex Signature offers an aesthetic once thought impossible in composite decking. Using a different manufacturing process than any other Trex products, Signature decking is made of nature-inspired wood thermoplastic lumber (WTCL) for a look as much like wood as wood itself. The proprietary shell formulation creates an elegant grain pattern and a high-end finish that delivers the most realistic representation of wood attained to date while delivering the durability of composite decking.
The collection is offered in two hues inspired by stunning natural settings — Ocracoke, which evokes the rich browns found on the secluded North Carolina island where nature is sheltered by sandy dunes and marshy shores, and Whidbey, which features variegated grey hues of the misty cliffs of the island in Washington State where salt-washed fog rolls in like a morning blanket.
Beyond its beauty, Signature is built to endure the rigors of time and nature, featuring an ultra-resilient core and a proprietary, high-traffic surface formulation that resists scratches, stains and mold. And, it’s even backed by a 50-year Limited Residential and Fade & Stain Warranty.
Sustainability, Elevated
While both Lineage and Signature stand out for their refined aesthetics, they share something more profound — a design philosophy rooted in sustainability. Each Trex board is made from a blend of reclaimed wood and recycled plastic, diverting millions of pounds of waste from landfills each year. The result: eco-friendly decking that celebrates the look of nature without compromising it.
As part of its commitment to environmental responsibility, Trex products are ICC-ES SAVE-certified, offering today’s eco-conscious consumers an environmentally responsible choice that feels as good as it looks.
A Complete Vision of Modern Outdoor Living
More than just decking, Trex offers a cohesive design ecosystem. Trex Signature® aluminum railing and coordinating fascia work in harmony with both the Lineage and Signature decking collections, allowing architects and homeowners to craft visually unified spaces that blur the boundary between indoors and out.
From poolside retreats to elevated entertaining terraces, Trex surfaces become the foundation of moments that feel effortless, beautiful and lasting.
