ls Reder oo otrong? Redwood particles have been mixed with lra long, exha strong ftbers of Douglas . Thm with phenolic resin, it is all bonded
together under intense pressure and heat. Finally, the long edges are tongue and grooved and all four edges sealedto control moisture absomtion. The result is i board d excellent internal bond and rupfure resistance. On top dthat Redex knorus how to take a nail. Or a staple. And th ere are no face or core voids to contend with. No drecking or
delaminating. Beder Gan 3avc you a ton of
monelrtoo.
Forget about underlayment or other subflooring. Redex will handle everything. Whidr meins you cut materials coit Uy about 30 per cmt for every 2,(XX) square feet compared to other usual flooring constmction, at the same time taking a big chunk out d labor costs. Speaking dsaving labor, Redex tongue and groove also does away with the need
for blocking. So irstallation time is reduced by 8 to l0 manhours per average home.
And looh who approvcc:
The FHA,ICBO, BOCA and Southern Building Congress all say Redex meets or anceeds their standards. In faA, Redex has been tested by the Underwriters laboratory and meets C,Iass III Flame Spread rating.
