Trex Company, a manufacturer of high-performance wood-alternative decking and railing, expanded its railing portfolio with the introduction of two new offerings. Rounding out the Trex railing line are sturdy and stylish aluminum gates and new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant secondary handrails. Designed to seamlessly blend with its other railing options, the new gates and handrails offer an extra level of safety, strength and accessibility for any deck design.

"These new offerings round out our railing portfolio with products designed to help our customers cater to a broader audience," said Ronald Kaplan, chairman. "The durable and easy-to-install gates and handrails provide attractive, customizable solutions for any outdoor setting."

Offering the versatility and performance benefits of Trex railing, the new aluminum gates are designed to complete any deck and railing system while emphasizing the view beyond. Designed to coordinate with the entire Trex railing line, the new gates possess exceptional strength and can be customized to fit nearly any opening up to 48 inches wide. The welded panels with slide-on posts make installation fast and flexible. Trex also offers adjustable hinges with a premium locking latch.

Trex aluminum gates are available in three colors – charcoal black, bronze and classic white –with a choice of square or round balusters. The heavy-duty powder coating allows the aluminum to retain color and resist corrosion, while washing clean with soap and water for low maintenance. Additionally, the gates contain a minimum of 40 percent recycled aluminum, which also is a 100 percent recyclable and renewable resource, adding sustainability to the appeal of Trex aluminum products. This new product offering will be available in December 2014.

For projects requiring ADA-compliance, Trex's newest aluminum handrails not only meet all dimensional requirements, but also provide excellent strength and durability. Available in three colors – Charcoal Black, Bronze and Classic White – the heavy-duty aluminum rails feature a high-quality powder-coated finish that is AAMA-2604 compliant and delivers better fade resistance than many competitive materials.

Featuring a full complement of components to accommodate installation, handrail wall mounts and wall returns include fasteners for both wood post and aluminum post installations. Aluminum collars hide railing seams for a smooth transition between components, and aluminum end caps conceal open rail ends. Expected availability of this product line is November 2014.For more information, visit www.trex.com.
