DECKING: Dark colors are in, and Trex Brasilia is now available in Espresso

Dark woods are in indoors, and this week Trex announced a new color to their Brasilia outdoor decking product: Espresso.

Trex Brasilia(R) decking and railing takes its design inspiration from the exotic look of tropical hardwoods. Building upon positive consumer response to this collection, Trex introduced a new color and a new fastening system to the Trex Brasilia collection at the 2008 International Builders’ Show (IBS).

Already available in Burnished Amber and Cayenne colors, Trex is debuting Brasilia in new Espresso, which resembles the dark brown hardwood look that is in style throughout all home living categories – including furniture and flooring. This deep and warm color offers minimal fading over time, which allows Espresso to maintain its richness. Like the existing Trex Brasilia color options, Espresso features subtle shading and natural color variations – as well as a smooth and refined surface.

Trex® is made from approximately 50 percent recycled and reclaimed plastic, and 50 percent reclaimed wood. Trex keeps some 300,000 tons of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills every year – that comes to about 600,000,000 pounds saved annually. According to Trex, NO TREES ARE CUT DOWN for the purpose of making Trex. Their wood comes from reclaimed wood from woodworking operations, used pallets, sawdust (300 million pounds a year). Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the United States: 7 out of every 10 recycled grocery bags in the U.S. end up at Trex (about 1.5 billion per year).
