Course AEC2011

Please join us for an AIA CEU program presented by Tim Schlosser, Architect Program Manager and Jack Litzenberg, Sales Representative, Trex Company.

Deck railing systems provide the finishing touch to an outdoor area, as well as safety and improved accessibility. Choosing a system that suits a deck project’s needs depends on a variety of factors, including cost, durability, style, customization, maintenance, and eco-friendliness. This course explores the many railing materials that are available, with a focus on aluminum, composite, and aluminum and composite railing systems, whose characteristics are ideal for most projects.

by the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• discuss the different kinds of railing systems and materials available on the market and compare their contributions to sustainable design
• describe railing and guard mounting details that are compliant with the International Residential Code
• identify how wood-plastic composite railing systems may contribute to LEED credit requirements, and
