This Summer, Stay SunComfortable with Heat-Mitigating Decking from Trex and Belletetes
Nothing is reminiscent of New England summer like sunbathing on a lake dock, lounging poolside or skipping across a patio deck super-heated by the July sun. Yet when a deck sits all day in direct sun, the surface can go from comfortably warm to uncomfortably hot. Before your popsicle melts and your sunscreen runs, you may have to scramble for your flip-flops en route to the pool or shade.
Luckily, technology from Trex® Composite Decking – the industry’s leading provider of innovative and environmentally responsible wood-alternative decking—is revolutionizing deck surfacing to control for overheating. Today, the perfect deck is one that’s sustainable, durable, and heat-mitigating. Welcome to SunComfortable™ Technology from Trex, 100% Made in U.S.A., available at Belletetes, New England’s home improvement partner for over 100 years.

Summertime is for living sun-comfortably. Trex prides itself on sustainable decking that provides a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Crucial for these places is providing the space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of nature all while staying comfortable, even when summer is in full swing. The beauty of Trex SunComfortable™ Technology is it allows you to enjoy cooler decking on the sunniest days without sacrificing aesthetics, durability or quality.
No standard wood decking offers the next gen solutions of Trex—which is why more people are leveling up their summer hang game with heat-mitigating decking that promotes summertime chill. SunComfortable™ decking is engineered to reflect solar energy and reduce heat absorption, reducing heat buildup when compared to original boards. Adding this game-changing characteristic to the already high-quality composite decking made sustainably right here in the USA makes Trex with SunComfortable™ Technology the best choice to create your dream sunspace.
The type of innovation that drives Trex Decking was once only available in limited colors and at a luxury price point. Trex with SunComfortable™ Technology takes a different approach, providing an ever-expanding array of colors to match any aesthetic in both luxury and budget-friendly Trex lines. Their Transcend® Lineage®, Select®, and Enhance® decking lines feature 12 different heat-mitigating colors all designed to deliver that one-of-a-kind look. Select® and Enhance® are particularly attractive for cost-conscious deck builders, offering six new colors, five of which have heat-mitigation tech.
The basics of color and heat mitigation remain true: Color plays a big role in how hot your deck gets in the sun. Light-colored boards like white, gray, or tan absorb less heat, keeping the surface cooler for sunny spaces. Darker colors like black or brown absorb more heat, making the surface hotter. But SunComfortable™ Technology changes that. For those who love darker tones, Trex offers heat-mitigating options in rich grays and warm browns, using innovative cooling technology. If you're worried about heat, lighter tones like Salt Flat, Tide Pool or Carmel are great choices that naturally stay cooler. With Trex, you get style and practicality, no matter the color.
2025 colors with heat mitigating technology include:
Tide Pool, Enhance Basics (new)
Honey Grove, Enhance Naturals (new)
Millstone, Select, (new)
Whiskey Barrel, Select (new)
Malted Barley, Select (new)

Trex with SunComfortable™ Technology takes a different approach, providing an ever-expanding array of colors to match any aesthetic in both luxury and budget-friendly Trex lines.
Trex offers more than composite decking. A recent portfolio expansion in their deck railing offerings brings stylish, affordable, durable railing options to compliment your Trex deck. With Trex railings, homeowners enjoy the freedom to choose a material, color, and style that matches their unique vision of the perfect outdoor space.
Trex railing comes in premium aluminum or sleek steel, glass, or durable composite. Choose from curved railings, cocktail rails, deck lighting—even ADA options—to ensure your deck is right for you. Trex deck railing comes already in a color you want so you can forget the hassle of staining and painting your new railing to match a pre-existing deck. Best of all, adding a railing to your Trex deck is DIY-friendly and budget-conscious, so you can save your time and money for all the premium relaxing you’ll do on your gorgeous new deck.

SunComfortable™ products with heat-mitigating technology are designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color. Although engineered to be more comfortable, they can still get hot to the touch when direct sunlight and high temperatures converge for extended periods of time. On such days, care should be taken.
