AdvanTech® Subflooring Products Warranties
When you combine AdvanTech® or AdvanTech X-Factor® panels attached to engineered joists or trusses with deformed fasteners (e.g. ring-shank nails or screws) and AdvanTech™ subfloor adhesive, you get an AdvanTech Subfloor Assembly with a panel-to-joist connection so strong, it’s backed by a Squeak-Free Guarantee[1]. With the over 20 years of proven jobsite performance of AdvanTech panels, combined with the powerful bond of AdvanTech subfloor adhesive at work in your AdvanTech Subfloor Assembly, you can rest assured you won’t hear a squeak in your single-family, duplex and townhome projects. See our Squeak-Free Guarantee for full details.
When it comes to subflooring products, AdvanTech products are requested by name for their well-known ability to stand up to tough jobsite conditions. Backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty and a 500-Day No-Sanding Guarantee, you can trust that your job will be protected against rework from panel swelling, flaking or delamination.

- ZIP System Residential Wall Warranty
- ZIP System Residential Roof Warranty
- ZIP System Peel and Stick Underlayment Warranty
- ZIP System Leak-Free Guarantee
- ZIP System Rainscreen Warranty
ZIP System® sheathing and flashing products are a revolutionary approach to streamlining air and water management in structural wall and roof assemblies. Panels feature an integrated water-resistive barrier and, when combined with ZIP System tape, form a continuous water and air barrier. Whether you’re using a combination of ZIP System sheathing and tape or liquid flash in wall or roof applications, our products are backed by a 30-year limited warranty and can be exposed during construction without a finished roof or wall covering for up to 180 days. Check out our ZIP System residential wall warranty or ZIP System residential roof warranty to review the full terms and conditions.
When you add the protection of NEW ZIP System™ peel and stick underlayment to your ZIP System Roof Assembly[2], you can register your project for a Leak-Free Guarantee [3]. Limitations and restrictions apply, see full terms and conditions here.
ZIP System™ Rainscreen is the newest option in the ever-evolving ZIP System Building Enclosures portfolio of products. This drainage and ventilation mat helps builders streamline their approach to water and air management in high-performance wall assemblies. Engineered to meet the new code-required 3/16" air gap requirements in stucco and adhered stone assemblies, the drainage and ventilation mat consists of a rigid drainage mat covered by a heavy-duty fabric that can be used as a secondary water-resistive barrier required for "absorptive" or "reservoir" cladding assemblies when the vertical seams are taped with ZIP System flashing tape. A 15-year limited warranty backs ZIP System Rainscreen. To see the full terms and conditions check out the ZIP System Rainscreen drainage and ventilation mat limited warranty.
