This spring, the manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing will complete a strategic trifecta by strengthening its mid-tier offerings with the expansion of its Trex Select® line. Just in time for prime decking season, the company is rolling out three new colors featuring elevated aesthetics and performance – including the industry’s first mid-priced board with heat-mitigating technology.

Three New Hues, Performance-Driven Technology

To better align with current consumer preferences, the 2025 additions to the Trex Select line not only introduce a brightened color palette but an updated design aesthetic as well. Joining the existing shades of Saddle and Pebble Grey are three fresh, on-trend hues featuring a new grain pattern with subtle streaking and refined embossing:

• Malted Barley – a warm earthy shade with soft and subtle grey undertones
• Millstone – a natural, weathered grey with a timeless shadowed undertone
• Whiskey Barrel – a rich, rustic brown complimented with cozy, refined streaking

Further differentiating these new offerings is the fact that they will be the first mid-tier options in the industry to feature Trex’s proprietary SunComfortable™ IR technology. Advanced heat-mitigation properties engineered into the shell of the boards reflect the sun and keep the surface cool.

Trex Select decking features a solid board profile that delivers increased durability, structural integrity and the ability to be curved. Boards come in 12’, 16’ and 20’ lengths and accommodate the Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fastener Collection, allowing for a smooth, unfettered finish free of nails and other visible fasteners.

Like all Trex decking, Select boards are sustainably made from up to 95% recycled and reclaimed content and engineered with a proprietary, high-traffic formulation and ultra-durable integrated shell that resists stains, scratches and mold.
