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 nailed or screwed to floor framing
members; long edges are precision tongue‐and‐groove, and the
panel surface is fully sanded. Using a polyurethane or solvent
based subfloor adhesive is recommended for optimal
performance. Panels are available in 5 performance categories
for a wide range of conditions.
