Trex Co. has expanded its Trex Signature Railing line with the introduction of X-Series Cable Rail and X-Series Frameless Glass Rail.
Now available, these two new offerings combine contemporary designs with easy installation, providing an ideal solution for both contractors and clients.
“Cable rail is a complicated specialty segment that has historically been a source of frustration for contractors,” says Leslie Adkins, group vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex Co. “Our new X-Series system not only simplifies specification and installation for cable railing but also affords the flexibility to accommodate frameless glass, giving consumers even more style choices to achieve their desired outdoor aesthetic.”
For the Cable Rail, novel spring-loaded cables offer improved tension management, push-to-connect fittings eliminate swaging or crimping, and ball ends allow the cables to swivel to accommodate horizontal and stair angles.
For the Frameless Glass Rail, half-inch laminated glass panels—which are sold separately—float between the sleek charcoal black posts for a see-through view.
The innovative X-Series Post anchors the system. According to Trex, this versatile post not only accommodates cable and frameless glass but was also designed to accommodate a variety of infills and attachments for future X-Series additions.
“The versatility of the X-Series post enables us to add two new specialty options to our premium railing line while also remaining SKU-conscious,” continues Adkins. “We are excited to provide our channel partners with a sophisticated yet streamlined system that is as easy to sell as it is to order and install.”
To simplify specification, X-Series Railings are sold in easy-to-order kits. Cable Rail kits include everything in one box for spans up to 18 feet, including thinner pass-through posts to support cables between anchor posts. Frameless Glass Rail is sold in a one-size-fits-all infill kit.
