Trex composite + PVC decking in Canada — stocked, shipped, installed
Enhance Basics through Signature and Refuge — every Trex line we carry at TUDS, from entry composite to the new PVC flagship. Canadian-stocked colours, real showroom samples in Regina and Saskatoon, build-team support on every project.
Trex ships more board to North America than any other composite brand, and 2025 brought the biggest lineup expansion in years: Signature's luxury photorealistic grain, Refuge's ignition-resistant PVC, and SunComfortable heat tech on Lineage. Tabs below walk every tier we carry at TUDS — entry to flagship, composite to full PVC.
The capped composite entry point — Trex name, 25-year warranty, a tight Canadian colour palette.
Enhance Basics is where most TUDS customers meet Trex: budget-conscious, capped wood-composite construction, and the warranty backing that made Trex a household name. Four current Canadian-stocked colours — including the 2025-added Pebble Beach — simple installs, reliable supply.
Budget-sensitive residential decks that still need named-brand composite with real warranty backing and a classic Canadian palette.
Same Enhance core, deeper grain pattern, richer colour variation — the sweet spot for a budget Trex build that still reads premium.
Enhance Naturals steps up from Basics with a more expressive grain treatment and a broader, earthier colour range. Same 25-year warranty, same installation, meaningful upgrade in how the finished deck reads.
Homeowners wanting Trex reliability + a deeper, more natural colour story without jumping to mid-tier pricing.
The mid-tier Trex — 4-sided cap, richer colour, and the structural options Enhance doesn't offer.
Select is where Trex starts looking like a premium deck. Full 4-sided cap means the board edge reads finished from every angle — useful for picture-frame borders and stair fascia. Select also carries the 2×6 structural sizing for projects that need composite in the framing, not just the deck surface.
Mid-range residential builds where picture-frame detailing, richer colour, and structural board sizes justify the step up from Enhance.
Trex's flagship line until Lineage arrived — deeper colour, richer grain, and the widest Canadian colour palette we stock.
Transcend is the Trex line most homeowners mean when they say "I want Trex." Split into two colour collections — Earth Tones for muted Prairie palettes, Tropicals for warmer reds, ambers, and darker moody tones. Same capped composite, richer finish quality, 25-year fade-and-stain warranty.
Premium residential decks where brand recognition matters and you want the widest Trex colour range available in Canada.
Trex's newest flagship — SunComfortable cap technology runs up to 35°F cooler in direct sun, and the fade-and-stain warranty jumps to 50 years.
Lineage is how Trex answered the one real weakness of wood-flour composite: heat on dark colours. The proprietary SunComfortable cap technology reflects solar radiation so darker boards stay measurably cooler underfoot — a real win on south-facing Prairie decks where July sun is unforgiving. Plus the warranty bump from 25 to 50 years.
South-facing or pool-adjacent decks where dark composite colours would otherwise get too hot — or for any project that wants Trex's longest warranty window.
Trex's luxury flagship — photorealistic woodgrain on a capped composite core, engineered to read like true hardwood.
Signature is the most refined board Trex has ever produced. A multi-layer cap delivers photorealistic grain variation with no pattern repeat and the highest scratch resistance in the Trex catalogue. Where Transcend reads as premium composite, Signature reads as hardwood — it's the tier for projects where the board is meant to be the architectural statement.
High-end residential builds where the deck is a feature surface — outdoor kitchens, rooftop terraces, and anywhere a client wants hardwood aesthetics without the maintenance.
Trex's newest line — full cellular-PVC board engineered for ignition resistance and fire-code compliance.
Refuge is Trex's first all-PVC cellular decking. No organic wood fibre anywhere in the board, which delivers two major wins: measurably better ignition resistance (meaningful for wildfire-prone regions + some municipal fire codes) and the longest expected service life in the Trex lineup. Newly launched — the colour range is tight, the supply is select-region, and special-order through TUDS is the current path for Prairie customers.
Wildfire-exposure areas, municipal fire-code compliance, or projects where zero organic content is a hard spec requirement. Pool decks also benefit from the full-PVC moisture profile.

01
95% recycled content
Every Trex board is roughly 95% recycled — reclaimed wood fibre and recycled plastic film that would otherwise go to landfill. For homeowners who care about the environmental story, Trex has one of the strongest receipts in composite decking.
-
02
The most recognized composite name
Trex has outsold every other composite brand in North America for two decades. If resale value matters — or if you're hiring a contractor who already knows the product — the name on the box counts.
-
03
Canadian dealer network + Canadian-stocked colours
Trex maintains a distinct Canadian lineup. What we stock at TUDS is what actually ships north of the border — no cross-border sourcing headaches, no "backordered US-only" disappointments mid-project.
-
04
SunComfortable technology on Lineage
Trex answered the heat problem with Lineage's SunComfortable cap — up to 35°F cooler than standard composite on dark colours. It's a real differentiator for south-facing Prairie decks.

Five tiers, real progression
From Enhance Basics at the entry point to Transcend Lineage at the flagship, Trex's tier ladder is genuinely progressive — each step up delivers a measurable finish quality jump, not just a price bump.
Four brands, one showroom. Here's where Trex wins and where it loses.
| Attribute | Trex | Eva-Last | Deckorators | Fiberon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core material | Wood-flour + recycled plastic (95% recycled) | Bamboo PVC / Bamboo PE composite | Surestone mineral-based (Voyage / Summit) | PE composite or PVC (Promenade) |
| Heat on dark colours | Standard — SunComfortable runs cooler (Lineage) | Lower — bamboo + foamed PVC | Lower (Surestone) | Standard composite |
| Top residential warranty | 50-yr (Lineage) | 50-yr (Apex PLUS) | 50-yr structural / 25-yr fade (Voyage) | 50-yr + Limited Lifetime (Promenade) |
| Tier depth (Canadian lineup) | 7 tiers — Enhance → Signature → Refuge (PVC) | 3 tiers | 5 tiers | 4 tiers |
| Sustainability narrative | 95% recycled plastic + reclaimed wood | Bamboo + solar + audited CO₂ tracking | Mineral-based core (less wood) | PE recycled content |
| Distinctive flagship | Lineage — SunComfortable (up to 35°F cooler) | Pioneer — photorealistic printed grain | Voyage — ground/water-contact rating | Promenade — premium PVC |
| Canadian brand awareness | Highest in N.A. | Growing — premium + commercial strength | Strong in Prairies | Mid — Fortune Brands backing |
Is Trex sold in Canada?
Yes. Trex has a Canadian dealer network and TUDS is an authorised Canadian Trex dealer in Regina and Saskatoon. The Canadian catalogue is a subset of the US lineup — we only show what actually ships to Canada, and we stock real inventory in our Prairie showrooms.
What's the difference between Enhance, Select, and Transcend?
Enhance (Basics or Naturals) is the entry tier with a 3-sided cap and a simpler colour palette. Select is mid-tier with a 4-sided cap and picture-frame-ready edges. Transcend is the premium tier with the deepest grain, richest colour, and a 25-year fade/stain warranty on top of the structural warranty. Lineage sits above Transcend as the flagship with SunComfortable heat mitigation and a 50-year warranty.
Does Trex get hot in the sun?
Wood-flour composites run warmer in direct summer sun than bamboo composites (Eva-Last) or mineral-core composites (Deckorators Voyage). Darker colours get noticeably warm to the touch on south-facing decks in July. If heat is a concern, Trex's Lineage SunComfortable line runs up to 35°F cooler — that's the answer we usually give for pool decks and south-facing builds.
How does Trex handle Saskatchewan winters and Prairie freeze-thaw?
Capped composite resists moisture and doesn't rot like wood. Follow Trex's gapping chart at install — the gap widens as the temperature at install time drops, which matters more on the Prairies than almost anywhere else. We've installed Trex through full winter-summer-winter cycles in both Regina and Saskatoon; failure mode is almost always installation, not the board itself.
What is Trex made of?
Approximately 95% recycled content — reclaimed wood fibre plus recycled plastic film. Trex diverts millions of pounds of plastic from landfill every year. It's one of the strongest sustainability narratives in the composite category, and it's independently audited.
Is the Trex warranty transferable?
Partially. Most Trex warranties allow one transfer to the next homeowner with a reduced remaining term. Exact terms depend on the line and the year of purchase — we pull the current warranty document at quote time so you're reading what's actually in force for your build.
How does Trex compare to Eva-Last?
Trex wins on brand recognition — more homeowners arrive already knowing the name. Eva-Last wins on sustainability story (bamboo vs wood flour), cooler surface temperature on dark colours, and specific Prairie-climate performance. Both are excellent capped composites. The right answer depends on which factor matters most: name recognition, or the engineering differences.
What joist spacing does Trex require?
16 inches on-centre for perpendicular residential installation is standard across every Trex line we stock. For 45-degree diagonal layouts or stair treads, tighten to 12 inches on-centre. Our build team can walk you through framing before you place the order.
Can I see Trex samples at TUDS?
Yes. Both Regina (141 4th Avenue East) and Saskatoon (320 68th Street) keep current Canadian-stocked Trex colour boards on display — Enhance, Select, Transcend, and Lineage. In-showroom samples are free. We also ship samples anywhere in Canada — free product, shipping at cost.
