WINCHESTER, VA--(Marketwired - 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.
