Trex Deck Designer Tool Now Available for iPad

WINCHESTER, VA--(Marketwired - May 04, 2016) - Forget about the hammer or screws -- the best new tool for designing the outdoor living space of your dreams is already in your pocket! Trex Company's popular Trex^® Deck Designer Desktop Tool has gone mobile, and now is available for complimentary download from the Apple iTunes App Store.

With the swipe of a finger, the Trex®Deck Designer Mobile App allows users to design a customized outdoor space using the robust portfolio of high-performance Trex outdoor living products. Starting by choosing deck dimensions, users can browse all 18 colors of Trex's three decking collections, mix and match railing options, and select lighting accessories for virtually limitless design options and possibilities.

Once users complete a look, the App automatically generates a list of components used in that design to make the purchase process easier. In addition, a finished photo may be saved to the iPad for future reference, or emailed to friends, family or potential contractors for idea sharing and feedback.

"Planning an outdoor living space from scratch can be both exciting and overwhelming," said Adam Zambanini, vice president, marketing for Trex Company, the world's leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. "The Trex Deck Designer Mobile App provides a user-friendly way to experiment with the many decking and accessory options available -- whenever and wherever inspiration strikes."

The photos and information then become part of an online gallery of homeowner and professionally-built Trex projects, and are shared across Trex's social media channels -- Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Houzz and Instagram, thus providing visitors in the beginning stages of the deck planning process inspiration from real-world examples.

Trex ® Color Visualizer App : Exclusively for iPad, this app makes it easy to explore hundreds of color and finish combinations.
