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. This is especially important to truss and component manufacturers whose end products tend to be exposed to the elements longer than other framing materials. |

The borate component is particularly effective against decay and also protects against termite damage. It is known to repel cockroaches and other insect pests. For extended protection against termites and fungal decay in outdoor use, consider Genuine Wolmanized® Residential Outdoor® Wood. 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. FrameGuard coated wood is not intended for use as internal sill plate, exterior use, or any other application where pressure treated wood should be used.
