Latitudes® Capricorn tropical composite decking manufactured by Universal Consumer Products, a subsidiary of Universal Forest Products, Inc., has been selected as a 2009 Best Products award winner in the Decks and Railings category by BUILDERnews, an industry-leading building products publication.
Each year, BUILDERnews chooses winners based on criteria including ease of use, durability, inventiveness and innovation in the building industry. Readers are also invited to submit their favorite tools or products they have used throughout the year. “Even in a down economy, there are still hundreds of products released and brought to the market every year,” said D.C. Curry-Lawrence, CEO and publisher of BUILDERnews. “This year’s honorees represent some of the nation’s most innovative products in the industry, and ones that our editorial team felt readers would find most useful to build better and stay competitive.”
