Advantech Flooring Tips
Hi, I'm Tim Carter and I'm out here on a jobsite in a light rain. Look at this. The carpenters are putting down the subfloor. This is an OSB product called AdvanTech.
The claim to fame for this particular product deals with swelling. In the past when I installed OSB, it could swell if it got wet and it won't come back down to its original shape. But this product will be as smooth as the day it was installed.
Even with a quarter-inch of water standing on it, if we came back tomorrow, it would still be flat. No swelling, no nothing. Really neat. So if you are going to do an OSB subfloor system, be sure you use a product like this.
