mother nature may be playing games with
us with this roller coaster rider on but
soon the game and the jig will be up and
the weather will stay warm you don't
want to spend more time outdoors around
the house perhaps out on the deck Wood
was the original way to go but now
there's something new and joining us is
home expert Lou Manfredini who is here
with our friends from treks know if that
sounds vaguely familiar it's because it
was a revolutionary product right
absolutely no and it's been around for a
really long time one of the things that
I think that people need to remember is
it's made almost 95% of recycled
material grocery bags and wood pulp and
sawdust and the product constantly
evolves and it's changing this is what
most people think about round edge you
know this is a treated deck and look
there's nothing wrong with wood the
framing of a deck is made from wood as
well but you have to stay matte you have
to maintain it we're talking about
something that can cost anywhere from
seven hundred to three thousand dollars
to keep it in good shape not to mention
this is going to become discolored at
some point because of the elements and
then you're gonna go to power wash it
and it's gonna strip and they're not
gonna look right and you can parley you
can do that I'm gonna you're look you're
good I'm gonna leave you alone here
you're doing great this is the new
enhanced line one of the things that
treks wanted to do was make it more
accessible to people and what they did
is they re engineered the base of the
unit here and they actually scalloped
the bottom here this cut cost cuts
weight but they still have this amazing
capping when this comes out of the
machine like this and like 350 degrees
this capping goes over the top and it
bonds with it okay this color that you
see today is the color you're gonna see
20 years from now and all you have to do
to maintain this is a little soap and
water to clean it off and with these
lighter colors they've got basic colors
where they have three which is their
entry level there and then they've got
these multi-tonal that you see here with
these colors here and you get that that
warranty on the product and you just get
the beauty year after year after year
all right we have some before and after
photos to show the there's a wood deck
right there that you notice that you
know basic
would deck with a set of stairs and then
they transform this to a trex deck here
in a the beauty and the durability of
this product and it is just spectacular
that's these deck examples are the
transcends which is sort of their their
their Cadillac of the item and then this
is where you get some of these designs
that you see where the material can be
bent and shaped same 25 year warranty
residential warranty between the two and
look when it comes to building a deck
we're talking about an added value
proposition for your home one of the
things that treks really prides
themselves on and something here in the
Detroit area they have more treks Pro
deck builders in Detroit than any other
market in the country meaning that these
are contractors that know what they're
talking about and so when you're
thinking about building a deck and you
want to make an investment where it's
easy to maintain and you can get the
beauty and add real value to your home
this is the stuff there's a whole new
collection for 2019 with new colors I
was right right that's all part of this
enhanced line and the beauty part of
this less expensive more affordable and
you still get that that look and that
long-term beauty from the product so
it's more accessible and that's the
whole idea
fun names to Havana Gold Beach dude yep
yep foggy Wharf this one right here
foggy Wharf hosted sand yeah right those
are great names and they look fantastic
so this is for here Augie Wharf right
here and what I like about this people
that may be around the water and they
want to build a dock or something like
that this lighter color here you're not
going to have an issue with it's cool to
the touch really a pretty item smart to
find trucks products or a deck builder
in your area all you have to do is visit
their website and that's Trek's dot-com
t re XCOM good to see you nice to see
you as well well done you next time I'm
not going to do this you just do it on
here I have you out to the house I get
