Meet Mike @ new builds (AdvanTech)
2005
Saturday, March 12
Today we're meeting with Mike at a couple of new builds to discuss flooring. He wants us to decide b/w traditional plywood and some new type of flooring named AdvanTech, by Huberwood. Mike wanted us to see it because our house will only be the 2nd time they'll get the chance to use this product.
AdvanTech(R) flooring and sheathing panels are high-performance structural panels specifically engineered to provide more water resistance and stability than plywood. It fits together with tongue and grove, which gives more stability. In addition, AdvanTech comes with a 50-year limited warranty. AdvanTech panels are warranted not to require sanding due to moisture absorption during installation.
We met with Mike at the 1st house, which had the traditional plywood. There he showed us the typical and normal problems that occur after installation. He pointed out areas that were raised or low, as well as watered damaged areas that they have to replace or sand down. He said all were normal issues they have to deal with while building in more wet times of the yr.
We followed him to the other new build after that that they used AdvanTech on. That house is actually their new model house. This was significant to Tim and I, cause we knew that they wouldn't be using it on that house, if they didn't believe in the product. Also, we were told that Fred's son swears by it.
Well.... we were definitely impressed. It hadn't bucked nor warped. It was completely flat and smooth. Tim asked what I thought.... I just kinda looked up and smiled and said "I'm sold... let's do it!" Considering the fact that we're going to be doing our own installation of hardwood floors..... yeah.... the smoothness definitely excited me.
