Huber Engineered Woods
Why We Use Huber Engineered Woods
At Burns Construction Group, we focus heavily on what you don’t see. The structure of a home, how it’s sealed, how it handles moisture, these are the things that determine long-term performance.
That’s why we build with products from Huber Engineered Woods, specifically ZIP System sheathing and AdvanTech subflooring. Together, they form a stronger, tighter, and more durable foundation for the entire home.
ZIP System: A Better Building Envelope
Traditional construction relies on sheathing plus a separate house wrap. ZIP System simplifies and improves that process by combining structure and weather protection into one integrated system
Each panel has a built-in water-resistant barrier, and when seams are properly taped, it creates a continuous air and moisture barrier around the home.
The result is a tighter building envelope with less air leakage, better energy efficiency, and improved moisture control. It’s one of the most important steps we take to ensure the home performs as well as it looks.
AdvanTech Subflooring: Built to Handle the Job Site
Subflooring takes a beating during construction. Exposure to rain, heavy foot traffic, and material staging can quickly compromise lower-quality products.
AdvanTech is engineered to resist moisture and maintain its structural integrity even in tough job site conditions. It minimizes swelling, reduces the risk of soft spots, and helps prevent the squeaks that can develop over time with inferior subfloor systems.
It also allows for a tighter, more secure connection with adhesives and fasteners, creating a more solid feel underfoot once the home is complete.
Moisture Management at Every Layer
Both ZIP System and AdvanTech are designed with moisture control in mind, one on the exterior envelope, the other at the floor system.
Together, they help us manage water intrusion during construction and reduce long-term moisture-related issues. That means fewer callbacks, better durability, and a home that holds up over time.
A More Durable, More Refined Result
These are not flashy upgrades, but they make a meaningful difference.
A tighter envelope means better comfort and lower energy use. A stronger subfloor means a quieter, more solid home. And better moisture resistance across the board means fewer issues down the road.
Building the Right Way From the Start
At Burns Construction Group, we don’t rely on minimum standards. We build with systems that improve performance at every stage of construction.
Using Huber’s ZIP System and AdvanTech subflooring is part of that philosophy. It’s about creating a home that is not only well designed, but well built at every level.
