PARIS – 17.10.2017 – Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, wood-alternative decking, will welcome visitors to this year’s Batimat trade faire with the next generation of composite decking designed to outlast and outperform wood and PVC, as well as other composite offerings. Trex Transcend and Trex Contour decking collections set industry standards for performance, aesthetics and eco-friendliness and will be on display in the company’s exhibit space located in Hall 4, Aisle H, Booth 134.
“As the world’s number one brand of high-performance decking, we know that consumers everywhere want to spend time enjoying – rather than maintaining – their outdoor living spaces,” said Jim Cline, president and CEO of Trex Company. “Since entering the French marketplace, Trex has enjoyed an extremely warm reception from French homeowners who appreciate the quality, beauty and environmental consciousness of Trex products. We look forward to exceeding the expectations of Batimat visitors, too.”
Exclusive Capped Technology Delivers Superior Performance and Aesthetics Differentiating Trex decking products from other composites on the market is the company’s proprietary nine-element surface formulation that is used to cap the deck boards. Each board is wrapped on three sides to protect the wear surfaces of the board, providing protection where it’s needed most. This shell also offers UV resistance and better protection against the outdoor elements.
This technologically-advanced design allows Trex boards to have long-lasting beauty, even after decades of exposure and use. Unlike their counterparts, Trex boards resist fading, staining, scratching and mold. They won’t warp, crack, split or splinter like wood, and will stand up to severe weather, heavy foot traffic and everyday occurrences like dropped food and spilled wine. Maintenance is hassle-free and requires no sanding, staining or painting. A periodic cleaning with soap and water is all that is needed to keep the deck looking “like new” for years to come. Further, all Trex decking comes with a 25 Year Limited Fade and Stain Warranty.
Trex Transcend The game-changing Trex Transcend product combines unprecedented durability and performance with industry-leading aesthetics delivering the most realistic graining available on the market. The collection includes color options ranging from earthy classics to exotic tropical tones. The complete line-up includes: • Island Mist (gray taupe) • Tiki Torch (warm, earthy shade)
Trex Batimat 2017 – ADD ONE • Clam Shell (dark grey) • Havana Gold (golden wood) • Spiced Rum (light brown with reddish hints) • Lava Rock (reddish black) • Gravel Path (polished grey)
Trex Transcend deck boards are available in 3.66 meter, 4.8 meter, and 6.1 meter lengths, as well as two profile options – square and grooved. The grooved boards accommodate the Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fastening System, which allows for a smooth, unfettered finish, free of nails and other visible fasteners. The system’s clips create a seamless look with no screws or screw holes to interrupt the smooth texture and comfortable feel of the decking.
Trex Contour Trex Contour is the company’s first decking product designed specifically for the European market. This DIY-focused offering combines the unparalleled engineering, durability, aesthetics and eco-friendly benefits of Trex Transcend with style selections comparable to the top European offerings at a more competitive price point.
Trex Contour boards are available in the same board lengths and profiles as Trex Transcend in five nature-inspired colors including Sand (light brown), Honey (medium brown), Clove (dark brown), Russet (reddish-brown) and Pebble (gray).
Environmental Commitment Drives Innovation Adding to the appeal of these next-generation composites is the fact that all Trex decking is made of 95 percent recycled material – including reclaimed wood, sawdust and plastic packaging – making it an environmentally friendly and sustainable building solution. In fact, the company keeps nearly 200 million kilograms (more than 400 million pounds or over 180 million tons) of plastic and wood waste out of landfills each year, and no trees have ever been cut down to manufacturer Trex products.
The company’s manufacturing process is as green as its final product. Within the manufacturing plant, trailers are hydraulically powered by vegetable-based oil and factory refuse is recycled back into the manufacturing line. Additionally, the company regularly seeks third-party audits to ensure that it is continually improving green practices while meeting all environmental, health and safety guidelines and industry regulations. Trex is the first company in the wood-alternative decking industry to receive an International Code Council Evaluation Service® (ICC-ES)* SAVE Verification for Recycled Content.
Attendees of Batimat 2017 are encouraged to stop by the Trex stand [Hall 5B, Aisle F, Booth 73] to experience the benefits of Trex decking firsthand. For more information about Trex, visit http://www.trex.com/fr.
