Enhanced One-inch Trex Contours® and Trex Accents® Offer Product Consistency
WINCHESTER, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Trex®recently announced the debut of one-inch board profiles on two of its
best-selling collections - Trex Accents® and Trex Contours®. These enhancements
were the direct result of feedback from Trex's industry partners and set the
stage for larger changes to the overall Trex product portfolio - including a
ground-breaking new decking and railing line - which will be unveiled at the
company's Distributor Meeting this week. 

"The transition to new board profiles on Accents and Contours will simplify our
decking offerings and provide greater design flexibility to mix and match all of
our product lines," said Adam Zambanini, senior product manager of decking at
Trex, the nation's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking, railing and
fencing products. 

In addition to the new board profiles, Trex also will be the first decking
manufacturer to offer reduced-size product bundles - transitioning from a bundle
size of 96 pieces per unit to 48 pieces per unit. This change will create
increased product turns for Trex`s industry partners. Distributors will benefit
from efficiencies in material handling and reduced in-transit material handling
damage - while dealers will be able to stock more Trex product without
increasing their inventory position. 

Said Zambanini, "We believe the reduced packs will provide greater bundling
opportunities for our distributors and dealers - allowing them to move more
product in less time while increasing productivity and profitability." 

With these enhancements, all Trex decking will now measure 1" x 5.5" and be
compatible with the Trex HideawayTM hidden fastening system. Additionally, Trex
Contours will have a square-edged profile and a grooved edge profile, as opposed
to its former scalloped underside. The updated boards currently are available at
both Trex manufacturing facilities in Winchester, Va., and Fernley, Nev. 

Trex Accents offers a subtle, refined wood grain pattern while Trex Contours
features a bold, dramatic grain. Naturally soft and comfortable to the touch,
both collections are eco-friendly and low-maintenance, and provide superior
durability and wear resistance. 

"We are confident that these enhancements to the Accents and Contours products
will provide more flexibility and design options to consumers, as well as more
convenience and efficiency to distributors and dealers," said Zambanini.
