2024 Buyers Guide (Design Portfolio)
CPA transformed the Guide into the Design Portfolio in partnership with the Woodworking Network. Found in the March 2024 FDMC magazine, this definitive guide to specifying composite panels and decorative surfaces has been distributed to the FDMC magazine audience (print and digital) and the Closets & Organized Storage magazine digital audience. This year, a digital media campaign will promote the portfolio to include architects and designers.
CPA has published a variation of the Design Portfolio for over 20 years, showcasing the endless possibilities for creating safe, clean, and stylish designs using composite panels combined with decorative surfaces. The portfolio provides in-depth descriptions of the various types of composite panels and decorative surfaces, as well as the many standard and specialty products available for residential, commercial, retail, healthcare, and education environments. The digital version is now available online.

ANSI A135.7 - Engineered Wood Trim 2020
ANSI A135.7 (R2020) covers requirements and methods of testing for the properties of Engineered Wood Trim intended to be used as architectural trim. While primarily for exterior applications, these products can also be used indoors. Trim is the woodwork in the finish of a building especially around openings and at corners that is intended to be decorative and/or provide protection for joints covered by the product. Typical exterior trim includes corner boards, fascia, brick mold and window trim. Because Engineered Wood Trim is not intended to be used as a structural material, it has no structural load-bearing performance requirements.
Key topics covered by ANSI A135.7 (R2020) Engineered Wood Trim ANSI:
product definitions
dimensional, physical and mechanical properties of trim grades
inspection and test procedures.
NOTE: This standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.
