Trex Launches New Trex Signature X-Series Railing

Cable and Glass Railing Options Enhance Style and Specification X-ponentially

WINCHESTER, Va., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When it comes to deck railings, cable and glass are among the hottest styles with today’s homeowners but also among the most difficult to specify –until now. Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, low-maintenance composite decking and railing, and a leading brand of outdoor living products, has expanded its popular Trex Signature Railing line with the introduction of X-Series Cable Rail and X-Series Frameless Glass Rail. Now available through Trex channel partners, these two new offerings blend modern profiles with simplified installation to deliver a winning combination for contractors and clients.

“Cable rail is a complicated specialty segment that has historically been a source of frustration for contractors,” explained Leslie Adkins, group vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex Company. “Our new X-Series system not only simplifies specification and installation for cable railing but also affords the flexibility to accommodate frameless glass, giving consumers even more style choices to achieve their desired outdoor aesthetic.”

Differentiating the new X-Series Railing in the marketplace is the innovative X-Series Post that anchors the system. This versatile post not only accommodates cable and frameless glass but was also designed to accommodate a variety of infills and attachments for future additions to the X-Series line. Furthermore, with its modular design, the X-Series Post can be used as an end, line and corner post, laying the foundation for a SKU-efficient approach to railing.

“The versatility of the X-Series post enables us to add two new specialty options to our premium railing line while also remaining SKU-conscious,” noted Adkins. “We are excited to provide our channel partners with a sophisticated yet streamlined system that is as easy to sell as it is to order and install.”

The Trex Signature X-Series includes two view-optimizing infill options:

• Cable Rail
  Novel spring-loaded cables offer improved tension management so that cables are less prone to sag over time, while push-to-connect fittings eliminate swaging or crimping. Most notably, ball ends allow the cables to swivel to accommodate horizontal and stair angles.

• Frameless Glass Rail
