New mineral-based composite trim product is a low-maintenance, durable, and dimensionally stable alternative to PVC
Edge, a leader in exterior trim and siding products and part of UFP Industries (NASDAQ: UFPI), announced the launch of Arris™, premium mineral-based composite trim made with proprietary Surestone® technology. The product will be on display at the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) July 29–30, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
The name “Arris” is drawn from a traditional woodworking term for the sharp, clean edge formed where two surfaces meet. Exterior trim projects frequently require precise mitered corners, but thermal changes can create movement that causes joints to separate, leaving unwanted gaps, particularly with PVC trim products. Arris lives up to its name with minimal thermal movement and tight, clean-looking joints throughout seasonal temperature changes.
“We’re proud to be introducing Arris to contractors, builders, and homeowners alike,” said Dominic Beaulieu, managing director at Edge. “We’ve taken the technology and credibility of Surestone, paired that with customer feedback, and applied it to the development of a superior trim product. We’re eager to see how this transforms the exterior trim space, and we are committed to bringing this level of advancement to other categories in the future.”
Arris showcases innovation never before seen in the industry, creating an entirely new category. More dimensionally stable than traditional trim products, Arris is engineered to solve common jobsite and long-term performance challenges. The use of Surestone technology, a proprietary mineral-based composite first proven in premium Deckorators® decking, sets a new standard for durability and ease of installation.
