Huber Engineered Woods LLC is contributing ZIP System® roof and wall panels and AdvanTech® flooring for more than 20 homes during Season Eight of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
For the second year, the “Extreme” team will count on its preferred roof, wall and subflooring partners, ZIP System® roof and wall sheathing and AdvanTech® flooring, to complete each home on the Emmy-award winning reality series show’s accelerated building and shooting schedule.
"With only 106 hours to complete each energy-efficient build, we depend on quality products that can be installed quickly. Thanks to the speed and ease of installation of ZIP System roof and wall sheathing, we are confident that we can finish each home on schedule,” said Anthony Dominici, executive producer of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” “Our theme for this year, ‘Extreme Like You Have Never Seen,’ would not be possible without the commitment from Huber Engineered Woods and its ZIP System roof and wall sheathing and AdvanTech flooring for all 22 homes being built this year for the show.”
ZIP System roof and wall sheathing
As structural panels with built-in protective barriers that eliminate housewrap and felt, ZIP System roof and wall sheathing can be installed quickly. In addition, AdvanTech flooring delivers water resistance benefits that also facilitate easy installation regardless of the weather conditions.
“During the construction of our first build in Baltimore, Md., we struggled with extremely wet conditions from a bad storm that threatened the build before we were able to install the roof,” said Dominici. “Despite the wind and rain, ZIP System and AdvanTech products were able to withstand the harsh conditions. We were able to experience the moisture-resistant benefits of these products first-hand during the build.”
