Attractive Railing Styles and Colors Now Available for Composite Decks

Winchester, VA - Most homeowners who enjoy backyard style without maintenance hassles have discovered composite decking, but the new looks this year are in the railing accessories! Trex Company, the pioneer and innovator in composite decking since the early 90s, is shining the spotlight on its new railing products and a revolutionary fast and easy installation system.

Artisan Series railings install faster and easier than wood or vinyl.

"Homeowners have more sophisticated tastes when it comes to decks--the square, boxy shape doesn't suit today's lifestyles," said Shellie Sellards, marketing director, Trex Company, referencing the ability of Trex deck boards to be curved and the colors mixed and matched."The railings have to offer the same style options, so we've created crafted looking railings that match or complement the deck boards."This includes the Trex Designer Series Railing™, which matches the Trex Accents® wood-grain decking (in four colors) and Trex Brasilia™ rainforest-look decking (in two colors/finishes). The railing system features a railpost, easy-grip top rail, bottom rail, balusters, flat or pyramid post cap and post skirt.All Trex railings are weather- and insect-resistant, splinter-free and complement the Trex deck boards in beauty, durability and long-term performance.

A newer railing product is the Trex Artisan Series Railing™, featuring the attractive contrast of a classic white railing set against a natural-color Trex deck. Style options include white balusters or the contemporary look of glass panels. The Trex Artisan Series Railing has a lightly textured surface that looks painted and is welcoming to the touch. These railings utilize a proprietary process that creates fine architectural detail, durability and strength.

Another area in which Trex railings outperform wood and other materials is in ease and speed of installation.Both the Designer Series and Artisan Series railings install faster and easier than wood or vinyl, using the TrexExpress™ railing assembly system.This unique template and bracket system allows railing installations in up to a third the time of wood.Ask your contractor about the wide selection of Trex railings for your deck and get the complete benefits of a composite deck in any climate.

Trex decking and railing combines recycled plastic and reclaimed wood, giving your deck the best qualities of both materials. The plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage, so there's no rotting or splintering. The woodgives your deck a solid, natural feel that looks great year after year with less maintenance.For more information or to locate an authorized Trex dealer or TrexPro® contractor near you, call 1-800-BUY-TREX (289-8739) or visit the Trex company website at www.trex.com.
