Outdoor Living Leader Honored by Architects and Designers in Prestigious Award Program

WINCHESTER, Va., May 17, 2016 – Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, and leader in high-performance outdoor living products, has won three Awards for Design Excellence (ADEX) from Design Journal, an international resource for interior designers, architects and facility managers.

A perennial ADEX-award winner, Trex captured two Platinum Awards – the program’s highest honor – for the Trex Outdoor Storage™ collection and for Trex Pergola™ “Air,” a recent addition to the popular Trex Pergola collection. Another new pergola design, Trex Pergola “Vision,” was honored with an ADEX Gold Award.
