“2024 is going to be a big year for Trex and our channel
partners,” said Adam Zambanini, Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer for Trex Company. “This is the year Trex will
truly become a one-stop supplier for nearly everything needed to
create a high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living space. We
will be expanding our offerings within existing categories via new
product introductions while also extending into complementary
category adjacencies. The result will be a dynamic portfolio of
high-quality products thoughtfully created as a system and
engineered to maximize value at multiple price tiers.”
WHAT’S NEXT FROM TREX FOR 2024?
A Full Line of Fasteners from the
Composite Decking Leader
As the saying goes, big things come in small packages. In a bold
move that promises to disrupt the industry, Trex is launching its
own branded fastener collection. Through a strategic collaboration
with the Phillips Screw Company, Trex is adding more than 120 new
SKUs to its Trex Hideaway® Fastener Collection including solutions
for every composite deck fastening need – from color-matched screws
and plugs to specially engineered bits, depth setters and clips –
all designed to make installation easier and more efficient while
delivering a clean cohesive aesthetic.
“This addition to our portfolio brings meaningful innovation to
what has been a relatively stagnant category,” explained Zambanini.
“It also affords us greater quality control and offers our channel
partners a competitive advantage by allowing them to deliver
end-to-end solutions from one supplier for a seamless and
worry-free deck-building experience from the joists up.”
While Trex has offered its popular Hideaway fasteners for years,
this expansion firmly establishes the brand as a serious player in
the decking hardware category. Following are a few of the
collection’s many noteworthy products and performance benefits:
- Color-matched decking screws (patent pending) – offering
the best possible color match for Trex decking with a unique design
that delivers optimal stability, increased drive speed and a
mushroom-free finish;
- HEXSTIX® technology* – built into every Trex drive bit
and depth setter, this patented Phillips® technology hangs onto
screws like a magnet to deliver a stable and wobble-free drive
experience;
- Counterbore bit (patent pending) – this unique tool
features a forged (vs. stamped) spade-type bit for enhanced
durability, surrounded by an innovative cone and ejector arm that
is strategically designed to remove debris and prevent scratching
the deck or fascia surface;
- Depth setters (patent pending) – specifically engineered
and labeled for decking and fascia applications, each setter is
protected by an ultra-durable, glass-filled nylon sheath and rubber
bumper to protect the deck surface during installation;
- Collated decking and fascia plugs (patents pending) –
these first-to-market collated plugs feature proprietary
construction, widely spaced collation, precise color and embossing
match that promises to change the landscape of the fastener
category;
- Trex Enhance® scalloped decking plug system –
this first-of-its-kind (and only
Trex-approved) plug solution for use with Trex Enhance scalloped
deck boards doesn’t rely on locator tools to ensure safe and
effective installation, giving installers confidence in concealing
fasteners anywhere on the deck;
- Butt joint clip (patent pending) – a wide hidden
fastening clip that eliminates the need for a sister joint in
end-to-end deck board applications, making installation faster,
easier and much more reliable.
Slated to roll out in Q1 2024, the new Trex Hideaway Fastener
Collection components are fully compatible with all Trex decking
products and have also been tested and proven to work with most
competitive offerings. Trex will also continue to offer its popular
hidden fasteners, starter clip, router bit and the award-winning
Trex® Universal Fastener One-Step Installation Tool.
DECIDEDLY DISTINCTIVE DECKING
Introducing the New Benchmark in
Authenticity
Marking a watershed moment for the decking industry, Trex
Signature® establishes the next category of composite decking,
pioneering a whole new level of aesthetic authenticity. Using a
notably different process than any other Trex product, Signature
decking offers the ease of maintenance and high performance of WPC
with a proprietary shell formulation that delivers the most
realistic representation of wood attained to date. Available in two
nature-inspired colors, Trex Signature establishes a new luxury
tier in the brand’s decking lineup as its top offering.
“Trex Signature is a crowning achievement in our long legacy of
decking innovation,” Zambanini noted. “Distinctively durable and
luxuriously crafted with eco-friendly materials, Signature
represents the pinnacle of style for the composite decking category
and sets a new standard for aesthetics, performance and
sustainability.”
New for 2024, Trex is adding fascia to the Signature line making
it the first collection in the category to offer a complete system
of profiles complemented by Trex Signature® aluminum railing.
Transitioning Our Coolest Shade of Grey
to Our “Coolest” Product Offering
Offering a medley of calming silver tones, the Island Mist
decking color has been a top seller since it was first introduced
as a tropical offering in the Trex Transcend® decking collection.
Given its proven popularity, Trex is moving this well-known color
to its new Trex Transcend® Lineage™ decking line, where it will
take on an even more natural look with refined graining and
enhanced performance. Considered Trex’s “coolest” decking yet –
literally – Lineage boards feature heat-mitigating technology in
the shell to reflect the sun and keep the surface cooler than other
composite offerings**.
Like all Trex decking, the new Signature and Lineage boards are
crafted in the U.S.A. and sustainably made from recycled and
reclaimed content, making them eco-friendly choices that feel as
good as they look. They also require minimal maintenance and won’t
rot, warp or splinter over time. Additionally, both offerings are
backed by 50-year limited warranties.
RAILING COMPONENTS THAT SPAN NEW LENGTHS AND FILL
GAPS
Cable and Glass Railing Systems that
Increase Style X-ponentially
Among the most noteworthy introductions from Trex for 2024 is
the addition of the new X-Series™ Cable Rail and X-Series™
Frameless Glass Rail to the Trex Signature® railing lineup.
Delivering a modern, streamlined profile, this new series is
anchored by the versatile X-Series Post, which can be configured to
accommodate cable or glass infill.
“Cable rail is a complicated specialty segment that we have eyed
for a while but, as with all Trex products, we wanted to get it
right,” said Zambanini. “The innovative X-Series system not only
simplifies specification and installation for cable railing but
also affords the flexibility to accommodate frameless glass,
allowing us to add two new specialty options to our premium railing
line, giving consumers even more style choices to achieve their
desired outdoor aesthetic.”
Sold in easy-to-order kits, and using the versatile X-Series
Post, Trex Signature X-Series Cable Rail features spring-loaded
cables for optimal tension management. Trex Signature X-Series
Frameless Glass Rail is sold in a one-size-fits-all infill kit.
Both products are expected to be available in spring 2024.
Like all Trex Signature railing options, the new X-Series
offerings are crafted with premium-grade aluminum to deliver
effortless style and exceptional strength. A durable powder-coated
surface allows the railing to retain its color and resist
corrosion. Adding further appeal, all Trex Signature railing is
backed by a 25-year Limited Residential Warranty.
Lighted Post Caps Powered by the
Sun
Joining the Trex® Outdoor Lighting™ line-up for 2024 is a new
Solar Post Cap. This energy-efficient component harnesses the power
of the sun to deliver all the ambiance customers want without any
electrical wiring. Compatible with Trex 4x4 composite post sleeves,
the Trex Solar Post Cap is extremely easy to install and
automatically lights up when the sun goes down – no timer needed.
Illumination can last as long as 19 hours with ample lighting
conditions delivering a longer run-time than most solar caps on the
market. Backed by an industry-leading warranty, these caps are
available in Trex’s three most popular railing colors – Vintage
Lantern, Charcoal Black and Classic White, making them an easy
upgrade to a deck that already has composite posts and the perfect
finishing touch to any new deck build.
Railing Performance and Affordability
Down to a “T”
Launched in mid-2023 and available for the 2024 deck building
season, Trex Select® T-Rail is a competitively priced rail system
designed to make the beauty and convenience of Trex’s
high-performance composite railing available to a wider audience.
Engineered for ease and efficiency with pricing that competes
head-to-head with hollow PVC vinyl railing, this new offering
allows Trex and its channel partners to compete more aggressively
at the entry level of the competitive railing market.
Featuring a classic T-shaped top rail, the versatile system
comes with a choice of two infill options – square composite
balusters in Classic White or round aluminum balusters in Charcoal
Black. Full-span top and bottom rails in Classic White are offered
in 36” and 42” heights and 6’ and 8’ lengths. In addition to
expertly curated color and material pairings, the system uses a
low-profile, underside bracket system for quick, easy assembly. And
like all Trex products, it retains its clean look with minimal
maintenance adding a perfect frame to any deck.
A Full-Span Railing
Expansion
Speaking of full-span railing, in response to channel partner
and contractor demand, Trex recently brought true 72” and 96”
lengths back into the popular Trex Select® Classic railing line. In
early 2024, the brand will do the same for Trex Transcend® railing,
ultimately standardizing all Trex railing offerings.
“Engineering what’s next leads to what’s new. That’s why we
continue to add to our innovative collection of products that are
designed to fit every build and budget,” Zambanini added. “From
decking and railing to lighting and fasteners, you can rely on Trex
to be your source for all things outdoor living.”
A selection of these new products will be on display at
PSP/Deck Expo 2023 in Las Vegas from November 13-15. For a
first-hand look, stop by the Trex exhibit (Booth #4723) or
the Innovative Product Showcase during the show. For more

**Although Trex Transcend Lineage is designed to be cooler than
most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot
sunny day, it will get hot. On hot days, care should be taken to
avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface,
especially with young children and those with special needs.
