CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 25, 2010) – Huber Engineered Woods LLC, a leading manufacturer of innovative building solutions, is demonstrating the superior moisture resistance, strength and stiffness of its AdvanTech® flooring to contractors across the country as a sponsor of the 10th annual Site Commander Tour. Designed to share the latest building products, innovations and practices, the Site Commander Tour is visiting more than 300 Lowe’s stores nationwide and offering thousands of contractors the opportunity to win a Dodge Ram 5500 custom truck valued at nearly $120,000.
“In these tough economic times, it’s critical that builders are aware of the best products and practices available,” said Charlie Robinson, AdvanTech general manager. “The strength and moisture resistance of AdvanTech make it faster and easier to install than other flooring products regardless of weather of conditions. As a result, projects stay on schedule and quality homes are finished on time. We’re excited to share the benefits of AdvanTech with builders through such a highly-respected and interactive program.”
AdvanTech® Flooring
The combination of advanced resin technology and world-class manufacturer engineering makes AdvanTech flooring and sheathing unique in the field of structural panels. This combination provides greater bending strength and stiffness, nail holding power, and superior water resistance compared to commodity OSB (oriented strand board) and plywood, which helps eliminate squeaky floors, floor bounce, and floor vibration, and prevents the need to sand due to heavy moisture or rain. Every panel is guaranteed to be fully-sanded, flat, and dimensionally accurate with a self-spacing tongue-and-groove and now an even better fastening guide that allows for easy, quick and accurate installation. AdvanTech flooring is available in 19/32-inch, 23/32-inch, 7/8-inch, 1-inch and 1 1/8-inch thicknesses, and is backed by a 50-year fully-transferrable limited warranty and 300-day no-sanding guarantee.
