Readers Honor Trex as the Leading Brand in Decking and Railing
WINCHESTER, Va., August 31, 2015 – The votes are counted and the results are in. In addition to prevailing as the undisputed leader in composite decking, Trex is nailing railing. The world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, swept all four railing categories of Remodeling’s 2015 Brand Use Study, taking first place among contractors for Brand Familiarity, Brand Used Most in the Past Two Years, Brand Used the Most and Highest Quality Brand. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, Trex captured top honors across all of the study’s composite/vinyl decking categories.
“The addition of railing to this year’s Brand Use Study allows Trex to showcase its unparalleled brand strength and recognition among industry professionals as a total outdoor living resource,” said Jim Cline, president and CEO of Trex. “We remain the clear brand of choice in wood-alternative decking while also setting the standard for performance and aesthetics in high-performance, low-maintenance railing.”
In recent months, Trex has received accolades from virtually all building industry professionals, including the following:
• First place Golden Hammer Award for decking by Hardware + Building Supplier
• Reader’s Choice Award for Greenest Decking by Green Builder Media
• Three 2015 ADEX Platinum and three ADEX Gold Awards from Design Journal
• First place rankings in the composite decking category in the Builder 2015 Brand Use Study
“With support from designers, architects, builders, retailers, distributors, and now remodelers, these awards underscore the dominance of Trex’s comprehensive portfolio of high-performance products,” Cline said. “It is an honor to have our brand and products recognized by such knowledgeable and discriminating industry experts.”
