WINCHESTER, Va. — In areas prone to wildfires, builders and homeowners must carefully consider exterior choices. When building a new deck or replacing an existing one, selecting materials engineered for demanding environments can help protect long-term investments while aligning with evolving code requirements.
Trex Refuge decking is a new offering from the category leader that is engineered to resist fire ignition and slow flame spread. Developed by Trex Company, the world’s leading brand of wood-alternative decking and railing, the polymer PVC boards are backed by independent third-party testing and designed to meet the latest buildingcode requirements for Class A Flame Spread and ignition resistance in many jurisdictions. Compliant with standards for both WUI Wildland-Urban Interface zones and International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, Trex Refuge decking is suitable for specification in many high fire-risk areas without sacrificing aesthetics or performance.
“Homeowners shouldn’t have to choose between meeting safety codes and style,” said Adam Zambanini, EVP and COO of Trex Company. “With Trex Refuge, families in fire-prone regions can create
outdoor spaces with decking designed specifically for the demands of their environments, while enjoying all the beauty, durability and low maintenance they expect from Trex.”
Trex Refuge decking is made with advanced polymer PVC designed to help resist ignition and slow the spread of flames. Independently tested to the industry’s most rigorous fire-performance standards, it meets the Class A Flame Spread rating — among the highest fireperformance levels for exterior decking. In flame spread testing, Trex Refuge boards outperformed traditional wood decking, delivering a more fire-resistant alternative to wood.
Aesthetically, Trex Refuge decking features solid-profile boards with a refined wire-brushed grain pattern that delivers a luxurious natural wood-look finish. The collection is available in two nature-inspired hues:
• Point Reyes — a misty coastal grey with cool undertones inspired by rugged western shorelines; and
• Martis Valley — a light, sun-washed beige with soft golden undertones and a clean, contemporary finish.
“In California, fire ratings aren’t optional anymore — and Trex gets that,”
