COMPOSITION & MATERIALS
Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) is committed to the responsible use of
natural resources. AdvanTech
®
panels are produced from young, fast-
growing trees for less waste and faster availability. All parts of the log are
used during production. Leftover chips, bark and sawdust are used as
fuel to reduce energy use during manufacturing.
CERTIFICATION & CODE COMPLIANCE
The International Code Council (ICC) Evaluation Service (ES) provides
technical evaluations of building products for manufacturers that want to
validate and qualify their products as having superior design properties.
For years, HEW has maintained an ICC-ES report for its engineered wood
suboor, AdvanTech ooring, to elevate it from other suboors that only
meet the PS-2 industry standard. The result? AdvanTech ooring was
issued the Evaluation Service Report, ESR-1785, certifying that it has
endured a battery of testing protocols that measure and ensure greater
and consistent levels of panel strength, stiffness and fastener holding
power.
