In the decking products category, Green Builder Media 2014 Reader\u2019s Choice Awards, voters selected Trex\u00ae decking as the \u201cgreenest\u201d in the industry. This accolade comes on the heels of recognition by the readers of Builder & Developer, Green Home Builder and BuilderBytes.com, who collectively ranked Trex the number one preferred decking brand in the industry in Peninsula Publishing\u2019s 2013 Building Products Brand Survey.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always rewarding to have our products and work recognized by our valued pro partners and industry experts,\u201d said Ronald W. Kaplan, chairman, president and CEO of Trex. \u201cWe are committed to setting the highest standard in the industry and to continuing to elevate the entire outdoor living category.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenest Decking<\/h3>\n

Built on green principles and values, Trex products offer a truly environmentally responsible choice to consumers. As the largest polyethylene plastic recycler in the United States, Trex turns commercial and household plastics like newspaper sleeves and sandwich bags \u2013 into eco-friendly outdoor living products. In addition, Trex salvages and keeps more than 400 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills each year.<\/p>\n

The entire high-performance Trex decking portfolio \u2013 including Trex Transcend\u00ae, Trex Enhance\u00ae and Trex Select\u00ae \u2013 is manufactured from more than 95 percent recycled and reclaimed materials, an achievement confirmed through the International Code Council Evaluation Service\u00ae (ICC-ES) SAVE Verification for Recycled Content*. In fact, Trex was the first company in the wood-alternative decking category to receive such distinction.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding eco-friendly decking and other outdoor living products is at the core of our business and something about which we are deeply proud,\u201d noted Kaplan. \u201cBeing recognized as the \u2018green\u2019 leader in the industry by Green Builder once again this year confirms that our customers \u2013 both contractors and consumers \u2013 understand the importance of environmentally conscious building. We\u2019re happy to be the go-to resource for their eco-friendly outdoor living needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to decking, Trex offers railing, stairs and a steel substructure made, in part, from recycled materials. Trex Transcend and Trex Select railing both contain 40 percent reclaimed wood fiber by weight, while Trex Reveal\u00ae Aluminum Railing, Trex Spiral Stairs\u2122 and Trex Elevations\u00ae Steel Deck Framing are 100 percent recyclable, renewable resources.<\/p>\n

And, new this year, Trex Outdoor Lighting now includes both Deck Lighting and Landscape Lighting, all featuring CREE\u00ae LED components. This innovative lighting technology surpasses traditional incandescent lighting efficiency by using up to nine times less energy and eliminating worry of voltage drops.<\/p>\n

Brand of Choice<\/h3>\n

The annual Brand Preference Survey highlights the most preferred products among homebuilders, purchasing agents, architects, interior designers and residential contractors with major buying responsibilities. Peninsula Publishing solicited feedback from professionals in a year-long reader poll conducted through its print titles, websites and LinkedIn and Facebook pages. Manufacturers were ranked in more than 50 different categories, including decking where Trex, once again, claimed the number one spot for brand recognition and preference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition further reinforces Trex\u2019s position as the undisputed industry leader in our category,\u201d said Kaplan. \u201cWe\u2019re especially proud that this survey reflects the opinions of our valued professional partners, who acknowledge and appreciate the brand\u2019s high standards for product performance and aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The March issue of Green Builder magazine will include comprehensive data from the 2014 Reader\u2019s Choice Awards.
