Optimizing Floor System Performance with Engineered Wood Products is designed for builders, designers, and construction professionals looking to enhance the quality, efficiency, and reliability of floor systems. Attendees will explore how engineered wood products including I-joists, structural composite lumber, subfloor sheathing, glulam, OSB, plywood, and rim board can improve the performance of residential floor systems. Participants will also learn practical solutions to common challenges like vibration, deflection, and installation missteps.
The session covers essential design principles, building code considerations, and on-site best practices — supported by APA’s tools, publications, and real-world examples. Viewers will come away with the knowledge and resources needed to make more informed design choices, reduce costly callbacks, and deliver high-performance engineered wood floor systems.
