A premium Trex alternative, engineered in Europe.
Comparing Trex in Canada? Here's the other option — Tarimatec, a mineral-rich composite system for deck, cladding and louvre, pool-safe and EPD-verified.
The same low-maintenance promise — a different material, and a whole system.
Trex is a fine deck board. But it is a deck board — recycled polyethylene and wood flour, built for the US residential market. If you want a coordinated outdoor system (deck + façade + louvre), European design finishes, pool-grade Class 3 slip, and an EPD-verified material story, Tarimatec is the alternative engineered for it.
Four reasons to switch.
A whole system
Deck, cladding and the AXEL louvre — colour-matched, from one manufacturer.
Cooler & safer
Class 3 / R11 slip and SRI over 80 — pool-grade and cooler underfoot.
Verified green
Tecnalia EPD, ISO 9001 & 14001, 100% recyclable.
Hospitality-proven
Specified by Nobu, Hard Rock, Iberostar and Meliá.
Side by side.
