Edge Revolutionizes the Exterior Trim Market with Arris

Edge, a prominent player in the realm of exterior trim and siding, has unveiled its latest innovation: Arris™. This premium product, made from a mineral-based composite using proprietary Surestone® technology, sets a new benchmark in the industry for durability, low maintenance, and exceptional dimensional stability. The announcement was made ahead of its appearance at the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) scheduled for July 29-30, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.

Understanding Arris: A Name with Significance

The term "Arris" originates from woodworking, referring to the sharp and clean edges produced when two surfaces join. This is particularly relevant in exterior trim applications, which often require precise mitered corners. Traditional PVC trim products can suffer from thermal expansion and contraction, leading to unsightly gaps and separation at joints. Arris aims to resolve these common issues by ensuring minimal thermal movement, providing tight seams and aesthetically pleasing joints throughout varying seasonal temperatures.

"We are excited to introduce Arris to builders, contractors, and homeowners across the country," said Dominic Beaulieu, Managing Director at Edge. He emphasized that the product integrates cutting-edge technology with insights gained from customer feedback, paving the way for a product that significantly enhances the exterior trim category. He expressed a commitment to continual innovation in other categories as well.

Innovative Features of Arris

Arris stands out as a trailblazer in the exterior trim sector, introducing several advantageous features that address common challenges in installation and long-term maintenance:

• - Superior Stability: More dimensionally stable than conventional trim products, Arris reduces the likelihood of issues arising from thermal fluctuations.

• - Advanced Manufacturing: Utilizing Surestone technology—previously tested in Deckorators® decking—Arris offers enhanced durability and installation ease.

• - Variety of Options: Currently available in an S1S2E profile (textured on one side, smooth on three), with an S4S profile (smooth on all sides) expected to follow. Additionally, the trims come in various widths ranging from 4 to 12 inches and nominal thickness options, ensuring versatility for different projects.

• - Durability: Featuring a robust white capstock, Arris is resistant to scratching, scuffing, and weather exposure, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

• - Efficient Installation: The lightweight nature of the product allows for easy handling, and it is delivered ready for installation, which streamlines project timelines and reduces labor costs.
