Vinyl is a low maintenance product that generally comes at a cheaper price than Trex. Many consumers, however, do not like the unnatural and shiny look of vinyl and would prefer to have something more natural-looking. That is where Trex comes in, sporting superior durability and a wood-like aesthetic. Additionally, Trex stands up to the elements better than vinyl. Vinyl will blow out at high wind speeds, whereas Trex has been tested to withstand 130 mph winds. Vinyl notoriously can become brittle and crack over time, something that you won't need to worry about with Trex.
