Huber Engineered Woods’ Innovative
Building Solutions Named Among Top Products of 2015
Winning Products Include New ZIP System™ Stretch Tape,
ZIP System®Sheathing and Tape, and AdvanTech® Sheathing
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (August 19,2015) – Huber Engineered Woods, a leading manufacturer of innovative building solutions, was recently honored with recognition as “top products”of the year by readers of Professional Remodeler and Professional Buildermagazines. Based on reader feedback, three Huber building products were recognized in the magazines’ annual “Top 100 Products of 2015.”
AdvanTech® sheathing and ZIP System™ stretch tape were named among the products “that interest builders most,” this year byProfessional Remodeler magazine, while ZIP System® sheathing and tapewas among top products for Professional Builder magazine readers.
“These awards recognize the ingenuity and innovation that went into creating products that contribute to the overall performance of the entire build,” said Scott Long, director of marketingcommunications for Huber Engineered Woods. “From the unique airtight and watertight seal of ZIP System stretch tape to the strength and moisture resistance of AdvanTechsheathing, we pride ourselves on manufacturing products that builders can rely on.”
AdvanTech sheathing, now available nationwide, is manufactured with design strength and stiffness capacities beyond those required by code minimum (PS-2) for oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood panels. Also, the product offers superior moisture resistance using the same advanced resin technology as AdvanTech® flooring, which has been voted #1 in quality for more than a decade, by Builder magazine readers[1].
ZIP System® sheathing and tape provides an innovative solution that eliminates the need for housewrap or felt with a built-in, water-resistive barrier (WRB). All-in-one sheathing panels and taped seams provide a unique system that reduces air leakage and ultimately contributes to increased energy efficiency, while providing superior moisture resistance. By streamlining the weatherization process, ZIP System sheathing and tape helps jobs stay on track.
ZIP System™ stretch tape, which debuted at the 2015 International Builders Show, is a one-piece installation flashing tape made of a high-performance composite acrylic and conforms to challenging applications, locking out moisture for a variety of surfaces.
The “Top 100 Products of 2015” are awarded annually by each magazine, signifying standout products with innovations in design, efficiency, and technology most responded to by readers.
