DECK RAILING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I clean my Trex Transcend or Trex Signature railing?

While both Trex Transcend and Trex Signature require far less maintenance than timber, occasional maintenance will keep it looking its best.

  • To properly maintain your Trex Transcend railing, all you need is a little soap and water. In the event your Transcend railing is experiencing a colour transfer problem (due to spacers rubbing against balusters), those spots can be removed with Mr Clean® Magic Eraser® (Original or Extra Power). For any minor surface scuffs, we recommend Plexus® Plastic Cleaner.
  • To clean your Trex Signature railing, simply use a solution of warm water and a non-abrasive, pH neutral detergent. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any residue. To tend to any stains, use a soft bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth. While Plexus Plastic Cleaner can be used on Trex Transcend, it cannot be used on metal or aluminium railings and balusters like Trex Signature.
  • Never use acetone or other abrasive solvents on any Trex railings, as it can cause damage or dull its surface.

Can Trex be curved?

Trex railing, including aluminium Signature railing, as well as our Transcend composite railing can be custom curved. If you’re planning a deck that will feature a curved profile, use our “find a builder” tool to locate a professional in your area who can bring your desired design to life.

Can you use composite for deck railing?

Composite can certainly be used for deck railing. It won’t rot, warp, peel or splinter and requires the same minimal upkeep as Trex composite decking.

Is composite deck railing worth it?

When compared to timber decking and railing, composite railings are low-maintenance and does not require painting, staining or weatherproofing to retain its beauty year after year. Factor in that Trex composite railing is rot-resistant and will not peel, warp, or splinter and it gives you more time to enjoy your deck instead of maintaining it.

What is the difference between handrails and balustrades?

A balustrade is comprised of a series of vertical posts that form a safety barrier around the perimeter of a deck or along the side a staircase. A handrail is secured horizontally across the top of a balustrade, holding balusters in place and also offering a supportive spot to grip the railing with your hand in order to safely ascend or descend any stairs.
