Why We Use AdvanTech Subfloor Adhesive

Squeaky floors are one of the most common complaints in new construction — and one of the most preventable. At Eiger Homes, we've eliminated squeaky floors from our builds by using AdvanTech Subfloor Adhesive on every home we construct. Here's how it works and why it matters.

The Source of Squeaky Floors

Floor squeaks are caused by movement between the subfloor panels and the joists beneath them. As the subfloor flexes under foot traffic, it rubs against fasteners or adjacent panels, creating that familiar creak. Traditional construction relies on nails or screws alone to hold the subfloor in place — and over time, those connections loosen.

What AdvanTech Adhesive Does Differently

AdvanTech Subfloor Adhesive starts as a foam and cures into an extremely strong adhesive gel — creating a polyurethane bond between the subfloor panels and the joists that eliminates the movement that causes squeaks. Unlike nails and screws, the adhesive bond doesn't loosen over time.

The performance advantages:

• Polyurethane bonding strength that exceeds mechanical fasteners alone

• Adheres to wet or frozen wood — no weather delays during construction

• Water resistant — prevents swelling or delamination from moisture exposure

• Backed by a 10-year squeak-free limited warranty

The Result

A floor that's quiet on day one — and stays quiet. AdvanTech Subfloor Adhesive is a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference in the everyday experience of living in a home.

That's #BuiltBetter.
