We recommend this product as an excellent alternative to wood for exterior and decking applications. This refers to the standard trex items and the brasilia items. We do not recommend the newer railing systems that are coated or cased in PVC vinyl because of the well known environmental drawbacks of vinyl. I have seen trex decks installed over 20 tears ago that are still serviceable though the surface has become slightly rough and this is in spite of improper application by the early adopters who failed to allow the recommended spacing between boards and placed them in continuous contact.
