this one.
nfront dhim was a typical floor system
lxl2-inch joists, 16 indtes on center. that was Louisiana-Paciff c's 'rering exterior partideboard - Redex. the product Mth Swape's help, we gave ! most s€:vere ounishment
we could think
We took Tung'a, a 9,(XX) pound elephant walked him across the face of this
As you can see from the photo, did everything he could to demolish ex, but as Swalze summed up . . . amazing L-P Redex. Strong to hold this four and a half ton
io Reder oo strong?
ledwood particles have been mixed with ra long, extra strong ffbers of Douglas Then 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 sealed to control moisture absomtion. The result is i board of excellent internal bond and rupture resistance. On top dthat Redex knours how to take a nail. Or a stapte. And there are no face or core voids to contend with. No checking or
delaminating. Redex Gan savc you a ton of
moncytoo.
Forget about underlayment or other subflooring. Redex will handle evenything. Which means you cut materials cost by about 30 per cent for every 2,(XX) square feet compared to other usual flooring construction, at the same time taking a big chunk out d labor costs. Speaking d saving labor, Redex tongue and groove also does away with the need
for blocking. So installation time is reduced by 8 to l0 manhours per average home.
Andlooh who approves:
The FHA,ICBO, BOCA and Southern Building Congress all say Redex meets or
exceeds-their-standards. In fact, Redex has
bem tested by the Underwriters laboratory and meets CXass III Flame Spread rating.
