On-Trend Colors, Refined Aesthetics and IR Technology Added to Trex Select® Line
WINCHESTER, Va., (February 20, 2025) – Over the past several years, Trex Company [NYSE:TREX] has unveiled innovations that have solidified its position as the leader at both the premium and entry levels of the composite decking category. This spring, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing will complete a strategic trifecta by strengthening its mid-tier offerings with the expansion of its Trex Select® line. Just in time for prime decking season, the company is rolling out three new colors featuring elevated aesthetics and performance – including the industry’s first mid-priced board with heat-mitigating technology.
“The Select line has held a pivotal position in Trex’s product portfolio for decades, providing a reliable mid-tier option, but it has been eclipsed in recent years by innovations at the premium and entry level ends of the spectrum,” explained Adam Zambanini, COO of Trex Company. “With these new additions, we aim to solidify our position in this vital space.”
Three New Hues, Performance-Driven Technology
To better align with current consumer preferences, the 2025 additions to the Trex Select line not only introduce a brightened color palette but an updated design aesthetic as well. Joining the existing shades of Saddle and Pebble Grey are three fresh, on-trend hues featuring a new grain pattern with subtle streaking and refined embossing:
· Malted Barley – a warm earthy shade with soft and subtle grey undertones
· Millstone – a natural, weathered grey with a timeless shadowed undertone
· Whiskey Barrel – a rich, rustic brown complimented with cozy, refined streaking
Further differentiating these new offerings is the fact that they will be the first mid-tier options in the industry to feature Trex’s proprietary SunComfortable™ IR technology. Advanced heat-mitigation properties engineered into the shell of the boards reflect the sun and keep the surface cooler* than other composite decking offerings of a similar color.
“This breakthrough not only sets a new standard for comfort but also reinforces our position as a leader in performance-engineered decking solutions,” noted Zambanini. “In addition, Trex Select decking is also submersible and fully rated for W.U.I. (Wild Urban Interface) compliance, making it ideal for marine applications and areas susceptible to wildfires.”
Trex Select decking features a solid board profile that delivers increased durability, structural integrity and the ability to be curved. Boards come in 12’, 16’ and 20’ lengths and accommodate the Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fastener Collection, allowing for a smooth, unfettered finish free of nails and other visible fasteners. Further enhancing its appeal, Trex Select is backed by a 35-year Limited Residential and Fade & Stain Warranty and a 10-year Limited Commercial Warranty.
“Trex Select is uniquely positioned within the mid-tier price segment, particularly by being the one of a handful of decking products to feature heat-mitigating technology,” Zambanini added. “This advantage combined with the full board profile make Select ideal for price-conscious contractors, builders and homeowners who value durability, ease of installation and Trex’s trusted reputation.”
Like all Trex decking, Select boards are sustainably made from up to 95% recycled and reclaimed content and engineered with a proprietary, high-traffic formulation and ultra-durable integrated shell that resists stains, scratches and mold**. They won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter like wood, and upkeep is hassle-free. No sanding, staining or painting is ever needed, and spills wash off easily with just soap and water.
Trex Select will be available throughout the Midwest and East Coast in April, with further expansion to the West Coast this summer.
