How to Choose the Perfect Deck Colour for Your Home with Trex Decking
When it comes to enhancing your outdoor space, selecting the ideal deck colour is a pivotal decision. Your deck is more than just a place; it's a defining feature that can transform the entire look and feel of your home. As a supplier of Trex composite decking, we're here to guide you through the process of choosing the perfect deck colour that complements your home.
Types of Trex Decking
Trex decking is available in a variety of types, including:
- Transcend: Trex Transcend is the company's flagship decking product, offering superior durability, performance, and beauty. It is available in a wide range of colours and styles to suit any taste.
- Enhance: Trex Enhance is a more affordable option that still offers excellent durability and performance. It is available in a variety of colours and styles, but not as many as Transcend.
- Select: Trex Select is the company's most affordable decking product, but it is still very durable and performs well. It is available in a limited number of colours and styles.
Maintaining and Caring for Trex Decking
Trex decking is very low-maintenance, but there are a few things you can do to keep it looking its best:
- Sweep or power wash your deck regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Use a mild soap and water solution to clean your deck if needed.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the deck.
- Apply a Trex Protectant every one to two years to help protect your deck from the elements.
Cost of Trex Decking
The cost of Trex decking varies depending on the type of decking you choose, the size of your deck, and the complexity of the installation. However, Trex decking is initially more expensive than traditional wood decking, and lower care costs over time.

Choosing the Perfect Deck Colour
Now that you know more about Trex decking, let's talk about how to choose the perfect colour for your home. Here are a few tips:
- Consider the dominant colours of your home. If you have a white home, you're in luck—it can pair seamlessly with nearly any deck colour scheme. If you have a blue, red, or grey exterior, consider complementing it with grey decking. Brown decking is a versatile choice that harmonises with various colours.
- Think about the surrounding environment. If there is a lot of lush greenery around your deck, think about colours that go well with green. If your deck is in a sunny spot, you may want to choose a lighter colour to keep it cool underfoot.
- Consider the climate. If you live in a cold climate, you may want to choose a darker colour to absorb more heat. If you live in a hot climate, you may want to choose a lighter colour to reflect heat.
- Order samples. Once you've narrowed down your choices, order samples to see how the colours look in your real-world setting.
Here are a few example deck colour combinations that work well:
- Warm and Cool: Combine a warmer brown, like Tiki Torch, with cooler whites or blues for a peaceful coastal ambience.
- Teak and Green: Teak composite decking complements green surroundings. Pay attention to the undertones; teak with yellow undertones pairs especially well with blue and yellow.
- Two-Toned Classic: A combination of cool and warm browns creates a classic two-toned deck that suits both modern and rustic environments.
- Grey with Neutrals: Grey composite decking with cooler undertones, like Gravel Path, harmonises well with warmer browns and greys, making it a versatile choice.
- Walnut and Grey: Walnut composite decking goes great with grey, offering endless possibilities for additional colours without clashing.
We hope these tips help you choose the perfect deck colour for your home. With Trex decking, you can have a deck that is both beautiful and durable and that will complement your home for years to come.
