Engineered Wood Association

The Engineered Wood Association, often known as APA, is an organization that sets standards and provides certification for engineered wood products like plywood, laminated veneer lumber, and structural panels. Their role ensures these materials are manufactured correctly, meet safety and quality standards, and perform reliably in construction. By verifying quality and offering technical guidance, APA helps builders, architects, and consumers trust the strength, durability, and consistency of engineered wood products used in various applications.
