I'm a Certified installer for Trex decking. Trex Transcend is encapsulated board, with a finish that resists staining, scratches, mold and has a high definition wood grain surface. I don't know what you did to it or whoever worked on your house did something to it, but Transcend decking does not need staining or painting and the protective shell protects decking against fading. Trex Transcend and a few other Trex decking products like Trex Enhance, and Trex Select, they cannot be painted or stained. The only thing can be painted is Trex Transcend White Railings and you should only use light color paint. If you use dark colors, it will absorb heat and it will damage the surface and you can kiss your railings good bye. Also high quality fast drying primer should be used and you have to use Oil or Water based exterior paint and most importantly surface prep is the the key. When it comes to painting specialty surfaces like Trex Railings, hire a Pro to do the work. With that said, if you installed Trex yourself, you have to go to the store and have a Trex representative come out and check your deck. They will determine if loss of color fading was due because of negligence or not. If its a material defect, they will cover the material cost. If you had a Certified contractor do the work, they will cover material and labor. Call your contractor and he will get a Trex Rep to come out within a few days. Good luck

Various area serves various purpose in a house, thus they have their own requirements. The ambience and character of every space could be unique yet in sync with the overall design of the house. Flooring plays a major roll in developing the character and mood of a space, so i would suggest to get a professional help (as there are various layers of detailing which adds on to the interior subconsciously) and work with them to identify what works for you according to your need, preference & lifestyle.

Well. You may not be able to install a traditional home theater that includes a projector set up to project on a screen as it needs the room to be blacked out when you watch the movie. However, a LED TV with AV receiver and speaker setup should be still possible based on the size of your room. It's your preference. I would advise go for a dedicated HT room if you are investing more on the projector, receiver and speakers. If your investment is less then a living room set up is still okay.
