“2025 will be the year of railing for Trex,” said Adam Zambanini, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Trex Company. “After bolstering our decking portfolio with launches like Trex Signature^® and Trex Transcend^® Lineage^™ and bringing disruptive innovation to the fastener category with our expanded Trex Hideaway^® collection, we are now focused on leading the railing category as prominently as we do decking, with the category’s broadest and most diverse selection of profiles, materials and solutions.”

THE RIGHT RAILINGS FOR EVERY PREFERENCE AND PROJECT

As the channel prepares for the 2025 deck building season, Trex is rolling out an expanded railing lineup designed to mirror its industry-leading decking portfolio and is poised to solidify the brand as a formidable force in the railing category. Among the latest railing additions are new steel, aluminum, cable and glass systems, along with enhancements to the Trex Select^® composite railing system, designed to offer homeowners more choices beyond vinyl railing and wood railing. These launches firmly establish Trex as the ^#1 brand in decking and residential railing.

Trex^® Enhance^™ Steel Railing

Delivering affordability with a simple design that highlights any view, Trex Enhance Steel Railing offers a classic profile designed for function, style and performance. For easy and speedy installation, this line features pre-assembled panels and posts with pre-mounted brackets and carries a 15-year limited residential warranty. The perennially popular Charcoal Black color offers a view-optimizing complement to any setting.

Trex^® Select^™ Aluminum Railing

Offering a step up in weatherability, Trex Select Aluminum Railing combines elegance and simplicity with easy-to-install panels available in a choice of Charcoal Black or a brand-new railing color – Burnished Bronze. The clean, modern design enhances sightlines while providing durability and ease of maintenance backed by a 25-year limited residential warranty.

Trex^® Select^™ Steel Mesh Panels & Railing Kits

Mixed materials continue to trend in outdoor spaces. Composite posts paired with metal infill are the hallmarks of Trex Select railing. In addition to classic round black aluminum balusters or square white composite balusters, Trex has added a new steel black mesh infill to this line that exudes rustic charm with an industrial edge. Created to address regional preferences, the mesh panels feature 4”x4” welded cross points and are offered in sizes to fit 6’ or 8’ rail systems. These panels are sold as part of a complete Trex Select Railing kit or separately with hardware that allows for mounting to wood for enhanced versatility to complement a variety of home and backyard settings.

Trex Select^® Classic Railing in Charcoal Black

Previously offered exclusively in Trex’s Classic White finish, Trex Select Railing is now available with composite rails and posts in Charcoal Black. Offering a fashionable alternative to vinyl railing, this new color pairs perfectly with a choice of round black aluminum balusters or the new steel black mesh infill to deliver a sleek, modern aesthetic with a 25-year limited residential warranty.

Trex Select^® and Trex Enhance^® All-in-one Railing Post Kits

In August, Trex introduced All-In-One Post Kits for its Trex Select and Trex Enhance railing. Designed to simplify the railing purchase and installation process, these kits come complete with a 4”x4” composite post sleeve, cap and skirt packaged together for easy ordering, stocking, shipping and installation, while also reducing packaging waste at the job site. Finished in Trex’s Classic White, the Enhance Kit comes in a standard 48” railing height while the Select Kit is available in 40”, 48” or 54” heights, allowing customers to use components as-is or trim as needed for a cost-effective installation. In both cases, railing kits and brackets are sold separately.

Trex Signature^® X-Series^™ Cable and Frameless Glass Railing Systems

In addition to filling out the entry-level of its railing line, Trex has also introduced two specialty railing options with elevated sophistication and design flexibility for premium builds. Blending modern minimalism with simplified installation, the new Trex Signature X-Series introduced cable and frameless glass to the Trex railing portfolio.

Differentiating these offerings in the marketplace is the innovative X-Series^™ Post that anchors the systems. This versatile post not only accommodates stainless-steel cables or frameless glass panels but was also designed to accommodate a variety of infills and attachments for future additions to the X-Series line. Furthermore, with its modular design, the X-Series Post can be used as an end, line or corner post, laying the foundation for a SKU-efficient approach to railing. Packaged in easy-to-order kits, X-Series Railings are as easy to stock, sell and ship as they are to install and maintain.

“Cable and glass railings are notoriously complicated but everything about Trex Signature X-Series Railing is engineered to make things easier for deck builders,” Zambanini commented. “From the novel spring-loaded cables for optimal tension management to the simplified installation and easy-to-stock and sell kits, these innovative systems raise the bar on railing.”

Like all Trex Signature Railing, the X-Series profiles are crafted with premium-grade aluminum and durable powder-coated surfaces to deliver effortless style, exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. Enhancing their appeal even further, all Trex Signature Railing products are now backed by an increased 50-year limited residential warranty.

“This comprehensive railing portfolio equips our channel partners to excel in the competition at every price point, delivering the enhanced Trex aesthetics and performance that set them apart,” explained Zambanini. “Furthermore, these solutions are easy to specify, order and install, presenting a compelling value proposition to distributors, dealers and deck builders.”

EXPANDING HEAT MITIGATION TO MORE DECKING OPTIONS

Amid all the railing innovation, Trex hasn’t lost sight of its legacy as the inventor and world’s #1 brand of composite decking. To help channel partners capitalize on the growing popularity of heat mitigation, Trex is adding new colors to its successful Lineage collection and, in a first for the category, expanding access to this technology by introducing two new colors with heat-mitigating technology to the Trex Enhance^® decking line. Engineered with heat-mitigating properties in the shell, these boards stay cooler* than most other composite decking products of a similar color.

Trex Transcend^® Lineage^™ Decking

New for 2025, Trex has added two new hues to its sophisticated and popular Lineage range:

• Hatteras – a neutral brown inspired by windswept dunes that invites you to sit back, relax and savor the unmatched beauty of where surf and sand meet.
• Salt Flat – a natural symphony of silvers, whites and greys that is sure to be a favorite among those seeking serenity and simplicity in their outdoor spaces.

Trex Enhance^® Decking

Trex is the first composite decking brand to make heat mitigation more broadly available to homeowners by adding two new colors to its affordable Enhance decking collection.

• Honey Grove – a mix of browns, greys and onyx black streaks that harmonize into a warm, essential color evoking the bounty of our natural world.
• Tide Pool – a misty grey that draws inspiration from nature’s intricate artwork created by the gentle hand of the tides.

INDUSTRY-LEADING FASTENING SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED FOR TREX BY TREX

Rolling into 2025, Trex will continue to roll out its Trex Hideaway^® Fastener Collection. Launched earlier this year, this introduction disrupted the industry by establishing Trex as a market leader in the decking hardware category and solidifying Trex as a comprehensive one-stop supplier for decking, railing and deck-related hardware.

Featuring more than 120 SKUs, the Trex Hideaway^® Fastener Collection includes solutions for every composite deck fastening need, including:

• Trex Hideaway^® Color Match Composite Decking & Fascia Screws – designed to work seamlessly with all Trex decking collections to deliver a superior drive experience, optimal stability and a mushroom-free finish.
• Trex Hideaway^® Universal Hidden Fastener Clips – industry-leading fastener clips that offer a strong and seamless connection for secure installation, every time.
• Trex Hideaway^® Composite Decking & Fascia Plugs – featuring proprietary construction made from the same shellstock, embossing rolls, and pigments used to create Trex decking for the best possible color and texture matching.

“This collection brings meaningful innovation to what has been a relatively stagnant category,” noted Zambanini. “They afford greater quality control and ease of use for installers and give our channel partners a competitive advantage by allowing them to deliver end-to-end solutions from one supplier for a seamless, worry-free deck-building experience from the joists up.”

The Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection comes with the durability and protection of the world’s #1 composite decking brand. Components are backed by the same warranties as the decking they secure. When paired with Trex Transcend^® decking, for instance, fasteners and accessories are backed by 50 years of assurance.

“Engineering what’s next leads to what’s new. That’s why we continue to innovate and expand our selection of outdoor living products,” added Zambanini. “With the latest additions to our line, Trex now offers the most comprehensive and cohesive decking and railing solutions available – making Trex the #1 decking and residential railing brand. With everything you need now available from the industry leader, it’s easy to make every deck totally Trex.”

*Although Trex Enhance and Trex Transcend Lineage decking with heat-mitigating technology are designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot sunny day, the surface of the boards 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.
