What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its realistic natural appearance, exceptional durability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Most highlight the beautiful, fade-resistant finish and attractive color options that add lasting curb appeal. Many appreciate the straightforward installation using standard tools and hidden fastener systems for a seamless look. Reviewers consistently emphasize resistance to rot, splinters, and insects, noting the long-term value justifies the upfront cost. A few report warped boards upon arrival or surface scratching, and some mention heat retention in direct sunlight, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by overall satisfaction and strong endorsement of performance.

Stays cool in prolonged sun exposure

Would Recommend

I have not installed this product yet but I have placed several pieces on my deck where it will be exposed to direct afternoon sun. I have heard of problems with Trex being to hot with full sun exposure however this “Suncomfortable” product remains warm, but not hot. I was concerned about safety for my dogs who are out during the day but this will not be an issue with this product

Not good for small decks

Groved plastic deck board is not good for small decks and steps because on the 45degree cutting the board seems gaps
