Ittook astrong tomove Rudy onestoOxboard.

He couldnt be pushed into it.

Rudy Tfones, owner of Rudy Thones Construction in Minneapolis, demanded one thing: maximumperfoffnance. And he wanted irrefutable evidence that Oxboard would deliver it.

The evidence?

Ordinary waferboard defl ects 50% more than Oxboard wtren meazured at 2OO pounds byusing the standard American Plywood Association test for deflection.

Oxboard's also more than one-third stronger than ordinary waferboard. And frrlly two and a half times stronger after l0O hours of accelerated weathering.

What's more, with a rugged 5-layer construction held tight by liquid exterior resins, it won't delaminate. And its uniform construction means never a knothole, never a void.

That means it minimizeswaste. hassle and costly callbacks.

And that's why, even ihough he's used pllwood for years, Rudy Tfones moved to Oxboard for the roof, floors and sidewalls of his next project, a $750,000 home.

Andyou?

Really, it comes down to a simple choice.

You can have your construction bac'ked byaproduct that's second best at best.

Or do what competitors like Rudy Thones have done.

And be backed by the Ox.

I'll listen to your argument. Send me proof that Oxboard is better than wtat I'm using novr.
