Working with US engineered wood products
This technical resource is your starting point for specifying plywood, OSB, I-Joists or LVL for UK and EU structural applications.
It supports architects, specifiers, builders and end users by providing essential technical information for different structural applications. Explore our interactive plywood and OSB Specification Tools and ‘Find Your Standard‘ to identify what your application needs.
APA –The Engineered Wood Association is a world authority on engineered wood and recognised for its quality control, production standards and commitment to green building. Member mills produce most of North America’s engineered wood products. The APA trademark indicates that a product has undergone the strictest quality inspection and testing for a specific use
Case Studies
Check out our interactive Specification Tools which help you select the right product for an application such as floors, walls, roofing or concrete form work.
They provide information from thicknesses and spacing support advice to bond durability, enabling you to quickly compare options and their specific properties.
Structural products in the EU and UK have to comply with specific standards. Just select your product, application and performance characteristics and Find your Standard tells you what they are.
The new tool also tells you the standards that set testing requirements for products entering the EU or UK. US manufacturers must comply with these standards as part of any conformity assessment.
