Trex® Debuts New Board Profiles and Reduced Bundle Packs
November 09 2009 - 12:15PM
Business Wire
Trex® recently announced the debut of one-inch board
profiles on two of its best-selling collections – Trex
Accents® and Trex Contours®. These enhancements were
the direct result of feedback from Trex's industry partners and set
the stage for larger changes to the overall Trex product portfolio
– including a ground-breaking new decking and railing line – which
will be unveiled at the company's Distributor Meeting this
week.
“The transition to new board profiles on Accents and Contours
will simplify our decking offerings and provide greater design
flexibility to mix and match all of our product lines,” said Adam
Zambanini, senior product manager of decking at Trex, the nation's
largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking, railing and
fencing products.
In addition to the new board profiles, Trex also will be the
first decking manufacturer to offer reduced-size product bundles –
transitioning from a bundle size of 96 pieces per unit to 48 pieces
per unit. This change will create increased product turns for
Trex’s industry partners. Distributors will benefit from
efficiencies in material handling and reduced in-transit material
handling damage – while dealers will be able to stock more Trex
product without increasing their inventory position.
Said Zambanini, “We believe the reduced packs will provide
greater bundling opportunities for our distributors and dealers –
allowing them to move more product in less time while increasing
productivity and profitability.”
With these enhancements, all Trex decking will now measure 1” x
5.5” and be compatible with the Trex HideawayTM hidden fastening
system. Additionally, Trex Contours will have a square-edged
profile and a grooved edge profile, as opposed to its former
scalloped underside. The updated boards currently are available at
both Trex manufacturing facilities in Winchester, Va., and Fernley,
Nev.
Trex Accents offers a subtle, refined wood grain pattern while
Trex Contours features a bold, dramatic grain. Naturally soft and
comfortable to the touch, both collections are eco-friendly and
low-maintenance, and provide superior durability and wear
resistance.
“We are confident that these enhancements to the Accents and
Contours products will provide more flexibility and design options
to consumers, as well as more convenience and efficiency to
distributors and dealers,” said Zambanini.
