Trex® Expands Refuge™ Decking Launch Into Northeast Markets

PVC line opens up new growth opportunities through expanded product choice

WINCHESTER, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and residential railing, today announced added markets to the limited release of its Trex® Refuge™ Decking – a performance-engineered PVC decking line. Beginning in late March, Trex will expand distribution of Refuge decking across the northeast region of the United States.


Trex first announced the limited release of this new product in January of 2026 in select regions with heightened fire-safety requirements where the ignition-resistant features of Refuge decking are required by code. This expanded release in the northeast brings the same thoughtful design, durability and low-maintenance benefits of Refuge decking to a region where consumers and contractors have a long history of working with PVC decking.

“Wood-poly composite decking continues to represent the largest share of wood-alternative decking throughout the country, but we know there are consumers and contractors, particularly in the northeast, who use PVC,” said Senior Vice President of Marketing Jodi Lee. “We are thrilled to serve that incremental market with a product that provides the combination of aesthetic beauty and performance-engineering that consumers have come to expect from Trex.”

Manufactured in the United States, Trex Refuge decking features a refined, wire-brushed grain pattern and is available in two hues, each crafted to capture the natural beauty of their namesake landscapes:

  • Point Reyes – a misty coastal grey with cool undertones and refined grain inspired by rugged western shorelines.
  • Martis Valley – a light, sun-washed beige with soft golden undertones and a clean, contemporary finish.

“As we did with the strategic expansion of our railing product portfolio, we have identified an opportunity to satisfy regional differences while growing our core business,” said incoming CEO Adam Zambanini. “Our deep knowledge of consumer and contractor preference will continue to fuel Trex’s strategy as we expand our position as the leader in outdoor living products.”

Trex Refuge decking is offered 16′ and 20′ lengths with solid, square-edge profiles for strength and design flexibility. The boards are compatible with existing Trex® Fascia options and can be installed using Trex Hideaway® Fasteners and color-matched plugs.

Engineered for long-term performance, Trex Refuge decking resists fading, staining and scratching and will not rot, warp or splinter. Like all Trex decking, it requires no sanding, staining or sealing. Adding further confidence and appeal, Trex Refuge is backed by a 50-year Limited Residential Warranty*.

Trex Refuge is available only in select regions. To confirm availability, use the Where To Buy tool or connect with your local distributor or dealer. For more information, visit Trex.com.
