Category Expansion Introduces Innovation and
Streamlines Sourcing
They say big things come in small packages. The latest product
launch from decking giant Trex Company [NYSE: TREX] proves this
point. Further reinforcing its legacy as the category innovator,
the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and
railing and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor
living products is launching a comprehensive collection of
Trex®-branded deck fasteners and accessories that will begin
hitting the market this month.

Featuring more than 120 SKUs, the new Trex Hideaway® Fastener
Collection includes solutions for every composite deck fastening
and finishing need – from color-matched screws and plugs to
specially engineered bits, depth setters and clips – including
several first-to-market innovations. The collection was
meticulously researched and expertly engineered to make
installation easier and more efficient while delivering a clean,
cohesive aesthetic. These new tools and accessories are fully
compatible with all Trex® decking products and have also been
rigorously tested and proven to work with most competitive decking
options.
“This collection is poised to disrupt the industry by
establishing Trex as a market leader in the decking hardware
category,” said Adam Zambanini, executive vice president and chief
operating officer for Trex Company. “Adding fasteners and finishing
components to our portfolio solidifies Trex as a true and total
one-stop supplier for decking, railing and accessories.”
New products will begin rolling out this month with the
introduction of the patent pending Trex Hideaway® Butt Joint Clip.
Designed specifically for use where deck boards meet over a single
joist, this specialized clip ensures perfect alignment and a strong
connection without the hassle of additional joists and fasteners.
The extra-wide “wings” of the clip provide the same secure
connection as two standard hidden fasteners, so that just one clip
is required per side. Additionally, the clip’s “shoulders” provide
the support of two joists, eliminating the need for a sister joist
in end-to-end deck board applications and resulting in quicker deck
installation without compromising aesthetics.
Next up this spring will be the introduction of Trex Hideaway®
Deck Plugs and Trex Hideaway® Fascia Plugs. These first-to-market
collated plugs feature proprietary construction and are made from
the same decking shell material, embossing rolls and pigments used
to create Trex decking and fascia. Painstakingly crafted to deliver
impeccable color and texture matches for the entire Trex decking
collection, these exclusive plugs create a virtually undetectable
finish. Included in this collection will be the first – and only –
Trex-approved plug option for use with Trex Enhance® scalloped deck
boards. With these specially designed plugs, contractors no longer
have to rely on locator tools to ensure safe and effective
installation, giving them the ability to conceal fasteners anywhere
on the deck.
The rest of the Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection will roll out
later this year, including:
- Trex Hideaway® Color-Match Composite Decking and Fascia
Screws (patent pending) – Engineered specifically for Trex
decks, these fasteners feature ultimate color matches with all Trex
decking and fascia lines along with a unique design that delivers
optimal stability, increased drive speed and a mushroom-free
finish. Screws feature Phillips’ patented HEXSTIX®* technology for
optimal accuracy and STICK-TIGHT® technology to guarantee the
perfect bit fit with every drive. These screws also resist
stripping, rusting and fading, making them ideal for use on deck
borders, breaker boards, picture frames, stairs and the field of a
deck where they blend in with their surroundings to create a
harmonious look.
- Trex Hideaway® Counterbore Bits (patent pending) –
Durably designed in color-coded options for fastening Trex
color-match fascia screws and decking and fascia plugs, these new
counterbore bits feature forged spade designs for enhanced
durability. An innovative rotating wing on each bit delivers a
swift, efficient cut while ensuring material removal to prevent
scratching the deck or fascia surface.
- Trex Hideaway® Depth Setters (patent pending) –
Specifically engineered and labeled for decking and fascia
applications, these depth setters are equipped with the Phillips
HEXSTIX Drive System, allowing installers to drill to the correct
depth quickly and precisely, every time. Made with high-quality
materials, each setter is incredibly durable and protected by a
glass-filled nylon sheath and rubber bumpers to prevent wear and to
avoid marring the deck surface during installation.
- Trex Hideaway® HEXSTIX® Drive Bit – Designed for
precision, the HEXSTIX HS20 Drive Bit works seamlessly with Trex
Hideaway Composite Decking & Fascia Screws, ensuring a stable,
wobble-free connection with every use.
In addition to these new fasteners and accessories, Trex will
continue to offer its universal starter and fastener clips, router
bit, and award-winning Trex® Universal Fastener One-Step
Installation Tool.
“These new components join our already successful Trex Hideaway
Hidden Fasteners to round out the most robust fastening offering of
any composite decking brand,” noted Zambanini. “These additions
also bring meaningful innovation to what has been a relatively
stagnant category, delivering improved performance, durability and
ease of use. They afford greater quality control for installers and
give our channel partners a competitive advantage by allowing them
to deliver end-to-end solutions from one supplier for a seamless,
worry-free deck-building experience from the joists up.”
The Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection comes with the durability
and protection of the world’s #1 composite decking brand.
Components are backed by the same limited warranties as the decking
they secure. When paired with Trex Transcend® decking, fasteners
and accessories are backed by 50 years of assurance. With Trex
Select® or Trex Enhance® decking, they are backed by 35 and 25
years, respectively.
