The Advantages of Trex Composite Decking in Michigan’s Climate

Why RN Construction is the Trusted Local Expert for Trex Deck Installation in South Lyon and Southeast Michigan

Michigan homeowners know how wildly the weather swings — one day it’s 90°F and sunny, the next it’s icy rain or snow. That kind of climate can take a serious toll on your outdoor deck. From freezing winters to UV-packed summers, traditional wood decks simply don’t hold up long-term in Michigan’s environment.

That’s why choosing Trex composite decking — and working with a trusted local expert like RN Construction — is a smart move for homeowners across South Lyon, Brighton, Howell, Milford, and the surrounding areas.

🌦️ Built for Michigan’s Climate: Why Trex Decking Is the Smart Choice

Michigan’s climate puts decks through extreme conditions:

  • Heavy snow loads and ice buildup
  • Constant freeze-thaw cycles
  • Intense summer sun and humidity
  • Persistent moisture and temperature swings

That’s why Trex is the go-to choice for durability, safety, and low maintenance — all while maintaining the natural beauty of wood.

🌱 What Is Trex Composite Decking?

Trex is made from 95% recycled wood and plastic film. It mimics the rich look of natural wood but resists all the common problems: warping, rotting, splintering, and fading. It’s ideal for homeowners who want beauty without constant upkeep.

 

 

🔑 Key Benefits of Trex Decking in South Lyon, MI and Beyond

✅ Moisture Resistance

Trex’s outer shell repels water — ideal for snowy Michigan winters and rainy springs.

✅ UV & Fade Resistance

UV rays can cause traditional wood to crack and fade. Trex retains its rich color, even during the sunniest Southeast Michigan summers.

✅ Slip Resistance

Icy decks are dangerous. Trex offers better traction and safer footing — great for families and seniors.

✅ No Splinters, No Warping

Trex won’t split or twist due to freeze-thaw cycles — making it perfect for Michigan homes that deal with rapid weather changes.

✅ Minimal Maintenance

No sanding, no staining — just occasional cleaning with soap and water.

✅ Environmentally Friendly

Trex keeps 400+ million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills each year — making it a green choice for Michigan homeowners.
