What is Advance Guard® Treated Lumber?

Termites, decay fungi and other wood destroying organisms cause billions of dollars in damage to homes every year. However, wood structural systems built with Advance Guard® Borate Pressure Treated Wood Products have long-term protection that is a step in quality construction. Builders can depend on Advance Guard products to set them apart from their competitors and to provide to their customers what pre-existing homes can never provide–long lasting, built-in protection against termites, including Formosan termites, fungal decay and many other wood destroying organisms. An additional benefit is that walls built with borate pressure treated wood limit populations of cockroaches and ants that may live in the wall systems.
