A trade association for makers of hardwood plywood and veneer panels used in cabinets and furniture.
The Decorative Hardwoods Association, formerly known as the Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association or HPVA, describes itself as a trade association for hardwood plywood and decorative panel makers. Its website shares information about panels, standards and industry news. Homeowners in Nashville who ask about plywood boxes or veneered doors may find it helpful for understanding what these panels are and how they are graded.
We are an independent cabinet company and are not part of this association. We use plywood and veneered panels where they serve the design, and we explain the differences between solid wood, plywood and fiberboard in plain terms. The official site offers background on how decorative panels are made and described.
