New PVC Product Line Makes Outdoor Living Easier

WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2007--Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TWP) is introducing "Trex Escapes(TM)", the Company's newest, innovative decking product line. Developed with proprietary cellular PVC technology, Trex Escapes provides enhanced stain, mold- and scratch resistance with ultra-low maintenance. Trex Escapes will begin shipping nationally in January in time for 2008 spring and summer outdoor living projects.

Chief Executive Officer Andrew U. Ferrari commented, "More and more consumers are placing a premium on their leisure time and are looking for options that require minimal maintenance while offering great looks. Trex Escapes makes outdoor living easier by offering best-in-class resistance against stains, mold and scratches, and can be cleaned easily with just soap and water.

"Designed to reach a new segment of consumers, Trex Escapes decking leverages our Company's leading brand and channel position. Contractors will appreciate that the product is easy to install, lightweight, easily fastened and easily cut."

Trex Escapes features a natural wood-grain pattern in three long-lasting, rich colors: Pewter (grey), Sahara (beige), and Acorn (brown). Fascia is also available in matching colors, plus Glacier White. Trex Escapes is backed by Trex's 25-year warranty.

Trex Escapes joins the Trex family of decking, railing and fencing products designed to enhance outdoor living, and complements Trex's current range of high-aesthetic, natural-looking composite decking products, including Trex Brasilia(R), Trex Accents(R) and Trex Contours(TM).

Trex Escapes was developed in partnership with Veka Innovations, one of the world leaders in PVC blending and extrusion technology.
