Why Commercial & Government Buyers Choose Trex Fencing

Advantages of Trex Fencing for Commercial and Government Applications

Trex Fencing for Commercial and Government Applications

It’s no secret that Trex fencing is popular as a residential product. Privacy is important to homeowners and Trex fulfills that need perfectly with its completely site-obscuring design. Aesthetics are also important. Discerning owners of private residences choose Trex because there is no other fence like it in design and composition.

 

Many of the reasons that Trex fencing appeals to homeowners also apply to commercial and government property owners. However, there are additional attributes that are particularly relevant to these types of buyers. Trex is a versatile fence that is as diversely functional as it is beautiful.

Trex and LEED Point Contribution

Trex and LEED Point Contribution

Trex products and LEED green buildingDid you know Trex products contribute to LEED points? If you aren’t familiar with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), it is a point-based system for green building standards. The U.S. Green Building Council has designated categories for which products and organizations can contribute points to a “green” project. Trex’s eco-friendly products contribute five points in two categories:

MATERIALS & RESOURCES:

  • Credit 4.1 Recycled Content: 10% 1 point
  • Credit 4.2 Recycled Content: 20% 1 point
  • (Trex products contain 95% recycled-content)
  • Credit 5.1 Regional Materials: 10% 1 point
  • Credit 5.2 Regional Materials: 20% 1 point

INNOVATION IN DESIGN:

  • Credit 1 LEED Innovation Credit 1 point

 

 

Of course, many projects, especially residential, don’t require green building methods or products. However, sustainable and accountable usage of resources matters to us all. Trex is committed to providing materials and manufacturing techniques to meet the needs of a growing economy while doing so responsibly.
