*Although Trex Transcend Lineage is designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot sunny day, it will get hot. On hot days, care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
Please note that the darker the color, the hotter the deck will feel in the sun. For hotter climates, consumers should consider choosing a lighter color or an option with heat-mitigating technology.
