AZEK® In-Deck Storage Kit Wins MVP Award From Building Products Magazine

SCRANTON, Pa., Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The AZEK In-Deck Storage Kit, which provides a clever way to store items under the deck, has won Building Products Magazine's Most Valuable Product (MVP) Award in the exterior products category.  Manufactured by AZEK Building Products, the AZEK In-Deck Storage Kit is one of more than a dozen new products introduced this year that solves common problems for homeowners and helps contractors rise above the competition.

With a total of 30 MVP winners in eight categories, the winning entry packages were judged by a select panel of builders, remodelers, developers, and architects.  MVP-worthy products were assessed on their value to professional contractors and their homeowner customers, such as reduced installation time, customer satisfaction, reduced labor costs as well as adding curb appeal or a "wow" factor to a home. Building Products asked manufacturers to submit products introduced between January 2010 and January 2011.  

"When we introduced the AZEK In-Deck Storage Kit at the 2011 International Builders Show in January, we knew we had a winner," said Michael Gori, Director of Product Management for AZEK.  "It is uniquely designed for homeowners who are tired of trying to find a place to quickly store furniture cushions and covers, umbrellas or other deck items."  He noted that unlike typical unattractive plastic storage boxes, this unique storage solution expands the outdoor living area as it hides away outdoor items in an easy-to-access compartment with a lid that blends right in with the surface of the deck.  

Available in two finishes to match any AZEK Deck and Rail color, the AZEK In-Deck Storage Kit is easy to build and contains all the hardware needed for installation, including brackets and storage bin--just use pieces of AZEK Deck to complete the lid and the job is finished.  The specially engineered frame supports up to 500 lbs across the lid surface and is designed to prevent water infiltration to keep items safe.  

The MVP winners are profiled in the July/August 2011 issue of Building Products Magazine and appear on www.ebuild.com. Published bi-monthly, Building Products Magazine is the premier information source for builders and remodelers searching for what's new in building materials and products.
