A new Trex® show deck and showroom has opened at Cedar Nursery in Cobham, Surrey, a collaboration between the prestigious nursery, which specialises in stylish products for modern outdoor living and Trex Transcend’s sole UK distributor, Arbor Forest Products.
The show deck and showroom are designed to inspire homeowners searching for a way to create a sophisticated space to relax, dine, and entertain in their garden, and to provide installers with a Trex hub in the heart of the Home Counties.
The showroom features a four-toned deck – half Trex Transcend Island Mist with a CustomCurve Gravel Path border, half Trex Enhance Naturals Toasted Sand with a Trex Transcend Lava Rock border – the showroom also gives visitors a chance to see up-close samples of the full Trex range.
Associated products include Trex Signature Railing and ArborRail in aluminium and stainless steel, and the full Trex Outdoor Lighting collection.
The showroom’s office space is also available for members of the TrexPro network to book as a workspace.
While sales of Trex remain exclusively available to purchase through Arbor Forest Products’ merchant partners across the UK, the company believes that having a prominent display at such a prestigious location will offer inspiration and spark some creative thinking in those considering investing in a Trex deck.
Arbor Forest Products’ decking business manager, Jonathan Cooper said: “Trex decking is a cut above competing brands in terms of quality and appearance, and placing this impressive show deck and showroom in the beautiful surroundings at Cedar Nursery serves to highlight the prestige of the brand.
“We hope that this new space will offer our installers a platform to inspire their customers to take their deck plans to the next level as well as elevating the brand’s reputation within the UK at the same time. Offering an aspirational showcase like this should boost demand for Trex decking throughout our merchant stockiest network, particularly in the south east where people would be unlikely to have the chance to visit our North Lincolnshire headquarters to see everything that Trex has to offer.”
