MOISTURE RESISTANCE MATTERS
THE MOISTURE ADVANTAGE YOU CAN SEE

24 HOUR WATER SOAK DEMONSTRATION
VS. OSB
Traditional Oriented Strand Board (OSB) has a reputation for frequent
swelling and weakening after exposure to moisture. But AdvanTech
®
panels are made to withstand the elements – guaranteed.
3 HOUR WATER SOAK DEMONSTRATION
VS. PLYWOOD
When soaked in 1 inch of red water, the water line on the AdvanTech
®
panel sample barely moves, while the water line on the plywood panel
sample moves up signi cantly. Water absorption can lead to swelling,
cupping, delamination and other moisture-related damage.
