WINCHESTER, Va., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an effort to simplify the railing selection process for trade professionals and homeowners, Trex Company [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, low-maintenance composite decking and residential railing, has launched the new Trex^® Deck Railing Designer. Designed with speed, accuracy and efficiency in mind, this user-friendly digital platform delivers real-time 3D visualization, instant material estimates and seamless performance across devices.

Long known as an innovator in the railing category, Trex developed this new tool based on input from professional deck builders, and to allow homeowners to visualize the numerous railing and decking pairings available from Trex. The resulting platform offers an intuitive, interactive interface that accelerates the specification process and enhances the end-user experience.

“Railing has historically been a challenging aspect of deck planning due to the vast array of options available,” explained Jodi Lee, senior vice president of marketing for Trex Company. “We wanted to find a way to help homeowners quickly curate the best options for their projects while providing our trade partners with a faster, more accurate way to build out quotes. This tool helps both groups make confident decisions faster and with fewer errors.”

• Real-Time 3D Configuration and Material List
  
  • Users can visualize railing systems in 3D and obtain a detailed material list in as little as one minute – a process that previously took 10-20 minutes.
