Trex Company is expanding its industry-leading portfolio with the addition of Trex® Cladding™. The new offering makes hardwood planks obsolete in modern rainscreen systems, delivering premium aesthetics with fade and stain resistance while eliminating the need for annual sanding and sealing.
Trex Cladding uses square-edge Trex Transcend® deck boards to deliver outstanding curb appeal to a structure’s modern design, whether applied horizontally or vertically. The open-joint façade system promotes airflow over the water-resistant barrier behind the cladding, providing a worry-free armor for any rainscreen assembly.
Unlike wood, Trex boards are made from 95% recycled plastic and reclaimed wood scrap, and are backed by a 25-year product and fade & stain warranties both commercial and residential projects.
“Rainscreen is extremely popular right now across the building industry and is a natural extension for us,” explained Adam Zambanini, president of Trex Residential. “The unparalleled performance attributes of our Trex Transcend boards make them ideally suited to outperform wood in rainscreen applications. Furthermore, the premium exterior aesthetic and ultra-low maintenance of our cladding product is especially appealing to architects and business owners, allowing us to expand our footprint in the commercial arena.”
Trex Company is the world’s largest manufacturer of high performance wood-alternative decking and railing.
