Trex Company Strikes Havana Gold

WINCHESTER, VA--(Marketwired - October 01, 2014) - Building on its already colorful array of decking and railing options, Trex Company, the world's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative outdoor living products, has struck "gold" with its latest decking shade. Joining the company's popular Trex Transcend^® collection is Havana Gold -- a warm, golden color that mimics the natural look and feel of tropical hardwood with realistic wood-grain patterns and streaking. Like all Trex Transcend decking options, Havana Gold features an unsurpassed combination of superior durability, low-maintenance and eco-friendly qualities.

"The warm glimmer of Havana Gold offers yet another distinctive choice to consumers and contractors looking to customize an outdoor living space," said Ronald W. Kaplan, chairman, president and CEO of Trex. "This new shade delivers a rich, exotic aesthetic without the maintenance or environmental impact of using true tropical hardwoods."

Complementary Colors

Havana Gold joins nine other rich Trex Transcend decking colors available for consumers and contractors to outfit their outdoor living spaces. The full range of options also includes earthy classics with deep wood grains -- Tree House (warm earth tone), Vintage Lantern (deep-burnished bronze), Fire Pit (spicy red), Gravel Path (pristine grey) and Rope Swing (a light taupe) -- as well as other tropical tones that feature subtle shading, natural variations and hardwood-like striations -- Island Mist (silvery shade), Spiced Rum (earthy umber), Lava Rock (reddish-black) and Tiki Torch (light brown). Like all of Trex's tropical tones, Havana Gold features realistic wood grains engineered right into the board, which deliver a deeper, more natural appearance and a low-sheen luster that will last for years to come. 

Each Trex Transcend decking color, including Havana Gold, is designed to coordinate seamlessly with Trex Transcend Railing. Available in several color options, Trex Transcend Railing features a strong, sturdy look and feel coupled with quick and easy assembly. The collection's modular construction provides superior design flexibility that allows contractors and consumers to mix and match balusters, posts and top rails to create a completely customized outdoor living space.

"We kicked-off the season with silver when we introduced Island Mist (a silvery shade) and we're closing out the season with gold," Kaplan said. "By adding Havana Gold to our product portfolio, we reinforce Trex's category leadership and commitment to providing high-performance beauty to any backyard."
