Use and Care Guide

DESCRIPTION
BASIC USE AND APPLICATIONS
AdvanTech
®
flooring is a high-performance engineered panel designed
to replace plywood and commodity oriented strand board (OSB)
floor sheathing. Fabricated in highly-controlled production facilities
utilizing advanced resin technology, AdvanTech flooring exhibits
higher strength, greater stability, and enhanced moisture resistance.
AdvanTech flooring far exceeds the code minimums representing
other subfloor products, providing owners with a more stable floor
and builders with a more reliable product that retains its qualities
under environmental exposure during construction.
AdvanTech flooring is glued and nailed or glued and screwed to
floor framing members; long edges are precision tongue-and-
groove, and the panel surface is fully sanded. Panels are available
in 5 performance categories for a wide range of conditions.
LIMITATIONS ON USE
When a building’s uninterrupted floor length or width exceeds 80-feet,
designers should incorporate expansion joints to accommodate
the cumulative effect of incremental panel expansion. This is an
industry recommendation and is not unique to AdvanTech.
AVAILABLE SIZES AND RATINGS
AdvanTech fooring panels are available in nominal 4 by 8 foot*
sheets in the following DOC PS 2 Single-Floor span ratings and
performance categories. All panels are Exposure 1.
