Recently I heard about a new product , called Advantex ,which a friend is using on a house that he`s building.It`s an oriented strandboard which is used for subflooring, rated 50 year exterior exposure against delamination. so far it has held up to snow and ice,rain as the very complicated (and expensive )home is going up , much better than conventional plywood subfloor (sturdi-floor etc ) which tends to buckle up in similar conditions, in no time. If anyone was following the thread , I was the one who slurred the OSB as garbage -wood ,and some of the early stuff is, I tend to be conservative when it comes to building ,coming from the (former) Pine Tree State , and if my grandfather did`nt use it ,it probably isnt any good. So I guess I stand corrected ,for now anyway, but time will tell.
