The mosy important question to research is the composite percentage.
Trex is 2/3 wood and 1/3 plastic.
Fiberon is the reverse, 1/3 wood and 2/3 plastic.
I did my deck in Fiberon and all clad with vinyl siding and railings (totally maintenance free)
Power wash twice a year and thats it.......
I also used the clip type fasteners so no visible screws or nails.
It's been about 20 years now and the products have stayed as good as new.
Not too hot to walk on, easy to care for, we love it. The finished look is outstanding!!
Notes: the lengths are heavy, they flex considerably and need good support, clips require stainless screws, labor is about 50% more than tradional wood construction.
BTW Fiberon used to be a HD product.
