Proven Mold Protection


FrameGuard® wood, identified by a green dye in the solution, can
eliminate the growth of mold that is a concern to homebuyers.

Wood Treated Right

In a mold control study conducted by Arch Wood Protection on Florida's Gulf Coast, FrameGuard coated samples and uncoated controls, in two species, were exposed to the elements in an area characterized by high temperatures, rainfall and humidity. View the test results for more information.
Multiple Applications

FrameGuard® mold-resistant wood prevents mold problems as well as damage from termites and fungal decay in trusses, framing, OSB, wood I-beams, SIPs, and other wood products used in interior applications.
Termite and Fungal Decay Protection

FrameGuard® is a blend of anti-mold and borate chemicals that has been shown to offer effective protection against termites and fungal decay.

This combination keeps lumber looking cleaner and brighter during storage and construction, thus precluding dissatisfaction and exchanges.
Many homeowners have found that, against some termites, standard soil treatment alone is an inadequate defense. Some insects and decay fungi thrive above ground and are unaffected by such chemical barriers. The fungi that cause wood to rot exist throughout the United States and can cause significant structural damage to unprotected wood. FrameGuard wood provides protection against these pests.
 
 "Going Green"
   
 
  Not only is FrameGuard® wood green in color (due to a colorant added to make the product easily identifiable), it's anti-mold and borate technology also make it "green" from an environmental perspective too.

A recipient of numerous honors, FrameGuard® was the only building product to be awarded a 2007 Green Building Award by the National Association of Home Builders at its annual NAHB Green Building Conference. Developed by Arch Chemicals, FrameGuard® treated wood has also been recognized for its green characteristics by the GreenSpec® directory of environmentally preferable products and earned a GREENGUARD® Indoor Air Quality certification.

Comments included; "exceptional durability", "ability to reduce pesticide treatments" and "low indoor air emissions."
