John Cameron Swayzeis a world enpert on torture tests. But he had his doubts about this one. Infront of him was a typical floor system of 2xl2-inch joists, 16 ini:hes on cent6r. Covering that was Louisiana-Paciff c's finest exterior partideboard Redex. Wth Swape's help, we gave the product the most severe punishment we could think of. We took Tunga, a 9,fiD pound elephant and walked him across the face of this board. As you can see from the photo, Tunga did everything he could to demolish the Redex, but as Swalze summed up . . . '"The amazing L-P Redex. Strong enough to hold this four and a halfton
-
pachyderm!"
Whyls Reder co strong? Redwood particles have been mixed with extra long, o<tra strong ffbers of Douglas ftr. Then with phenolic-resin, it is all b-onded
together under intense pressure and heat. Finally, the long edges are tongue and growed and all four edges sealedto control moisture absomtion. The result is h board of excellent internal bond and rupfure resistance. On top of that Redex knous how to take a nail. Or a stapfe. And th ete are no face or core voids to contend wittr. No drecking or
delaminating. Rcder Gan 3ave you a ton of
monel,too.
Forget about underlayment or ottrer subflooring. Redex will handle werything. Whidr me-ans vou cut materials coit bu about 30 per cent for every 2,(XX) squaie feet compared to other usual flooring constmction, at the same time taking a big ctrunk out d labor costs. Speaking ofsaving labor, Redex tongue and groove also does away with the need

for blocking. So installation time is reduced by 8 to 10 manhours per average home.
Andlooh who approves:
The FHA,ICBO, BOCA and Southem Building Congress all say Redor meerts or enceeds their standards. In fact, Reder< has been tested bv the Underwriters [aboratorvand meets Clhss III Flame Spread rating.
