Fight Mold. Win With FrameGuard® Wood.
Homeowners worry about the odors, health risks and costly repairs associated with mold and they worry with good reason. By August of 2003, the insurance departments of 39 states had approved mold exclusions in homeowners' insurance policies, and that number has grown since.*
Whenever there is dampness, agreeable temperature and a suitable substrate there is an opportunity for the growth of mold.

However, prevention is possible and the application of effective inhibitors, such as those found in FrameGuard wood, can reduce or prevent mold-related problems as well as those caused by termites and fungal decay.
Tell your builder or contractor that you want FrameGuard mold- and pest-resistant wood. Specifying FrameGuard wood adds minimally to the cost of your home, but gives you long-term warranted protection against mold, termites and fungal decay.
By purchasing FrameGuard wood you get built-in protection against health risks and costly repairs due to mold, termites and fungal decay from the time your home is built – not after the fact when damage may have already occurred.
