Default Mold Resistant Wood by FrameGuard

FrameGuard® Mold-Resistant Wood


Product Description

FrameGuard® mold-resistant wood is coated wood combining a blend of anti-mold chemicals with borate technology, alleviating problems from mold, termites and decay-causing fungi.
It can reduce complaints and costly liability claims.

Applications

Intended for interior use, FrameGuard wood is available in framing and truss lumber, plywood, OSB, and SIPs, as well as other engineered wood products.


Performance Capabilities
FrameGuard wood is coated with a water-based combination of EPA-registered active components that provide a broad spectrum of protection.
The coating is applied at a treating plant or other facility where quality of coverage can be controlled more precisely than on a job site.
An independent research study of various mold preventatives provides an unbiased evaluation of alternatives.
This study is available from Arch Wood Protection.

Features

In addition to its mold- and pest-resistant qualities and competitive warranty, FrameGuard wood is easily identifiable due to a green colorant that is mixed with the active ingredients.
Offering a host of environmental benefits, FrameGuard wood:


  • Prevents mold growth and associated indoor contaminants, reducing the likelihood of mold-related health problems for inhabitants.
  • Protects wood without releasing harmful levels of emissions into the building; the coating is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified®.
  • Offers protection against mold, termites and fungal decay—all in one product.
  • Uses anti-mold fungicides and borates, a low impact preservative.
  • Is listed in the GreenSpec® directory of environmentally preferable products and won an NAHB Green Building Award.
  • Wood is a renewable material that requires less energy to produce than alternative building products. Wood also sequesters carbon and growing forests absorb carbon dioxide, thus reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
  • FrameGuard® wood is produced using plentiful, fast-growing trees grown primarily in managed timberlands (not in ancient forests or unregulated tropical rain forests). Their supply is replenished in fewer years than the service life of the coated wood.
  • Wood construction often allows the use of lower impact installation equipment than construction with heavier building products.
  • Wood is an excellent insulator, conducting less heat, noise, and electrical current.
  • The FrameGuard coating extends the life of wood, reducing demands on forests and the need for replacement lumber.

Warranty

FrameGuard® wood is backed by a competitive limited warranty. Contact us for details.

That has got to be a lot better then the stuff they come in and spray on after it is framed.

There was a (builder) here in town bragging about using the spray on and I thought it was very FAUX application.

Missing a lot of surface area and only doing the inside.

I wonder if it will keep the wood from swelling when it gets wet?

Hi Marcel, Here is a siding job I just completed. I happen to like the product as it gives you a smooth surface under the siding and you don't need building paper. Not sure of the cost though.

I'm doing another siding job with insulated siding. It's a foamed backed siding that has an R-5. That along with triple pane windows and proper ventilation my client will save plenty on their heating cost.

Hope your staying warm. -26 at my house this AM.
Pete

Here's a little quiz for everyone. Can you pick out the mistake that was made on this building. It won me the job and I corrected it when we sided the building.

Have fun!!!

No!

What got done with all the flashings and heads of the windows?

What got done at the sills of the windows to kick the water out over the siding?

Hi. Peter;

The Zip System, for wall and roof sheathing, just started seeing it up here.
I am with Carl, how was all the flashing treated at windows and ledger for the future Decks?
-20 here this morning and up to -13 right now.

Marcel

And the roof lines.

And lets not forget the flashing on the cap of the fireplace.

The windows where installed by the framers and they caulked the back of the nailing fin with silicone and I installed 6'' Vicor window wrap to cover the nailing fin. Starting at the bottom, then the sides and the top last.

Then we installed undersill trim under the window inside the built in J to keep the siding tight to the wall.

Marcel. All the ledgers where flashed with copper, I even use copper nails when installing any siding accessories over the flashing.

I custom bent aluminum to flash under the siding where the roofs meet the sidewall.

The chimney cap was installed later by the fireplace contractor.

Your getting close though!

Post a picture that is bigger.

Was there a cricket behind the fireplace?

And the little shoulders on the fireplace where it meets the roof looks out of wack.
