Does this material heat up or get hot in the summer or when direct sun it’s it?? Anyone have this problem?? Thanks

Hello, and thank you for reaching out to Trex! In the hot days of summer any surface can get uncomfortably hot to walk on (including concrete, wood, sand, etc.). In extensive studies, it has been found that the color of the decking board, regardless if it’s made of composite or wood is the most significant factor in the “heat retention." In these studies, pressure treated wood stained the same color as Trex was actually hotter than Trex in the same test conditions. With that said lighter colored boards will be slightly cooler than darker composite boards. On these extremely hot days, please remember care needs to be taken by ensuring skin does not have extended direct contact with the surface. Thanks, Tori - Trex Customer Care Team
