Publication number: 20150315785Abstract: A board includes a pattern to facilitate attachment of the board to a frame structure using fasteners. The pattern comprises a first array of first marks disposed in rows spaced apart a first predetermined distance, and a second array of second marks disposed in rows spaced apart a second predetermined distance apart, with the first and second marks being different, and with the first and second distances being different. The board may be used in a variety of construction applications, with the pattern facilitating the quick attachment of the board to the underlying frame by placing the fasteners using the first markings of the first array or the second markings of the second array.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Applicant: HUBER ENGINEERED WOODS LLCInventors: Thomas L. SCHUMAN, Katie Shea GAGNON, Robert Stephen POTTER, Roger William LATTERELL

Publication number: 20150184382Abstract: The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2015Publication date: July 2, 2015Applicant: Huber Engineered Woods LLCInventors: John L. BENNETT, Joel F. BARKER, Rick D. JORDAN, Thomas L. Schuman, Nian OU, Neil C. SWIACKI, Kelly R. Flaherty
