ROOF & WALL SHEATHING

AND WE DIDN’T STOP AT THE FLOOR. ADVANTECH® ROOF & WALL SHEATHING

Beyond providing superior strength and moisture resistance for your floors, AdvanTech® roof&wallsheathingbringsthesamelevelofqualityandintegritytotherestofyourbuild.

Superior strength supports higher design snow and ice loads than OSB or plywood panels (SeeESR-1785fordetails).

Structural 1 rated for greater resistance to wind and seismic loads.

Design stiffness surpasses OSB or plywood panels – contributing to straighter, stiffer roof and wall finishes.

Unmatched moisture resistance, using the same advanced resin technology as AdvanTech flooring, minimizes issues with warping, cupping and delaminating.

Backed with confidence by the same industry-leading limited lifetime warranty that covers our flooring.
