AZEK(R) Trim Voted #1 Brand in Quality by Builder Magazine Study

SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- AZEK(R) Trim, manufactured by AZEK Building Products, was named the #1 brand in "Quality" in Builder Magazine's 2009 Brand Use Study in the category of Exterior Trim.

"The results of the Builder Brand Use Study highlight that builders trust the quality and performance of AZEK trim products," said Ralph Bruno, President, AZEK Building Products. "This is the second year in a row that AZEK Trim has been named the top trim brand in Quality and we appreciate that builders recognize our on-going commitment to providing the best trim product on the market."

Bruno says, as part of this commitment, AZEK Trim products will be further enhanced with a new technology called The AZEK Edge. Setting a new industry standard, The AZEK Edge is made with proprietary technology to create trim that is "S4S" -- or Surfaced 4 Sides. The smooth, sealed edges of each board ensure AZEK Trim will stay cleaner in the dealer yard and on the jobsite. Not only will AZEK Edge stay cleaner, but if it does get dirty when being handled or installed, it is easier to clean. The edges are precision cut and square to make fitting boards side to side and end to end faster and easier. The AZEK Edge will be on all AZEK Trim, including AZEK Cornerboards, in both Traditional (smooth) and rustic Frontier texture.

AZEK Trim, the only trim with an ICC code listing (ESR-1074), is also the only code-listed trim acceptable for use in ground contact applications. AZEK Trim can be milled, routed, and heat-formed into custom shapes. With a 25 year warranty, AZEK Trim resists moisture and insects, and will not rot, warp or decay.

The Builder Brand Use Study was conducted by Hanley Wood Publishing along with Readex, a leading research firm, using a sample of 10,800 readers of Builder Magazine. Data was collected via mail from Sept. 22 - Nov. 5, 2008, with a 32% response rate.

Fueled by forward thinking, AZEK Building Products remains committed to quality, innovation and branded leadership. AZEK premium, exterior products are available at more than 2,000 dealers in North America. 1-877-ASK-AZEK (275-2935) www.azek.com
