Can you walk on this in bare feet in summer?

Hello, and thank you for your interest in Trex. In the hot days of summer any surface including Trex can become uncomfortably hot to walk on (this includes concrete, wood, sand, etc.). Trex Technical Services conducted a heat absorption study on various decking products, including pressure-treated wood (stained, unstained, and painted to match Trex colors), Trex, and competitor boards (both capped and uncapped composites). In our studies lighter colored boards were found to be slightly cooler than darker composite boards, and the color of the decking board regardless if it’s made of composite or wood is the most significant factor in the “heat retention” of the board. The study also showed that pressure-treated wood painted the same color as Trex was actually hotter than Trex in the same test conditions. On extremely hot days Trex always recommends wearing shoes. In addition please remember care needs to be taken with children to ensure their skin does not have extended contact with the surface. Thanks, Tori - Trex Customer Care Team
