Trex Refuge™ FAQ
What makes Trex Refuge different from other Trex decking?
Refuge is a PVC decking board — not composite like the rest of the Trex lineup. PVC construction gives it a Class A Flame Spread Rating, making it IWUIC compliant and specifically designed for homes in wildfire-prone WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) zones.
Is Trex Refuge really fire-resistant?
Yes. Refuge carries a Class A Flame Spread Rating — the highest fire resistance classification available. It meets the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC) requirements, which many communities in fire-prone regions require for new construction.
How many colors does Trex Refuge come in?
Refuge is available in two colors: Martis Valley (a warm, rich brown) and Point Reyes (a cool, contemporary grey). Both feature a wire-brushed grain pattern for a natural, authentic wood look.
Is Trex Refuge available everywhere?
Refuge is a specialty product available in select regions. As an authorized Trex dealer, Utah Deck Supply can source Refuge for your project. Contact us for availability and lead times in the Utah market.
What railing pairs best with Trex Refuge?
Trex recommends pairing Refuge with Trex Signature aluminum railing for a premium, cohesive look. The minimalist aluminum profile complements Refuge's clean aesthetic and premium positioning.
How does PVC decking compare to composite decking?
PVC decking is made entirely from polyvinyl chloride — no wood fibers. This makes it lighter, more moisture-resistant, and critically, more fire-resistant than wood-plastic composite boards. PVC won't absorb moisture, making it ideal for pool surrounds and wet climates as well.
