MexyTech vs Trex
MexyTech vs Trex: Composite Decking Compared
Trex is the name most people know in composite decking, the original American capped board with a long history. MexyTech is a capped board your local supplier can get you. Both are quality composite, so the choice usually comes down to price, availability and how you like to buy. Here is an honest comparison.
The quick version
Trex is the long-established premium brand, capped (the Transcend range), with a strong warranty and a long, proven track record in Australian conditions. The trade-offs are a premium price and lead times that can run several weeks if your colour is not in local stock.
MexyTech (the Suprotect range Allmat supplies) is also a co-extruded capped composite, sold under the MexyTech brand with a manufacturer warranty and a record on large international projects. The appeal is capped quality with local South Australian availability and keener value.
Both are capped, so both start from the right construction. From there it is price, colour, warranty and availability.
Construction: both capped, both built to last
Both MexyTech Suprotect and Trex Transcend are capped, co-extruded boards, meaning a hard polymer shell wraps the top and sides to shield the core from moisture and UV. That is the construction that resists fading and staining and holds colour, and it is why both sit in the premium tier rather than the budget uncapped one. If you want the background, our capped vs uncapped guide explains it.
Price, availability and lead time
For a lot of decks this is where it is decided. Trex carries a premium price and, depending on the colour and the time of year, can involve a wait if stock has to come in. MexyTech through Allmat is priced keener and carried locally in South Australia, so it can be ready for collection or delivery without a long lead time.

MexyTech vs Trex FAQs
Both are capped, co-extruded composite boards, which is the construction that matters most. Trex is the long-established American brand with a strong warranty and a long track record in Australia, at a premium price and sometimes long lead times. MexyTech Suprotect is a capped board Allmat supplies locally, and the appeal is capped quality with better availability and value. For many decks the deciding factors are price, colour and how soon you can get it.
Trex is a premium, well-known brand with a long warranty and decades of history, and that brand position carries a higher price. It is a genuinely good board. The trade-offs are cost and, at times, multi-week lead times if your colour is not in local stock. MexyTech offers a capped board at a keener price with local South Australian availability.
Yes. Both are capped, so both have a protective polymer shell that resists fading and staining far better than uncapped composite. Colour retention and warranty terms vary by product, so check the current details for the exact board and colour you choose.
