This master specification section is intended for use in the preparation of a project specification section covering FrameGuard mold-resistant wood treatment by Arch Wood Protection, Inc.
FrameGuard is shop-applied to framing lumber, plywood, oriented strand board, engineered wood products, parallel strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, and wood I-beams. It is suitable for interior use on all wood species, grades, and exposure ratings.
FrameGuard is a low-emitting product than can assist in obtaining LEED credits. It does not give off airborne particles, has minimal odor, and is easy to handle. Waste material is considered non-hazardous and can be disposed of in ordinary construction and demolition landfills.
The following should be noted in using this specification:
Hypertext links to specific websites are included after names of organizations whose standards are referenced within the text, to assist in further research. Hypertext links are included as blue text and contained in parenthesis, e.g.:

Optional text requiring a selection by the user is enclosed within brackets, e.g.: "Section [09 00 00.] [_____.]"
Items requiring user input are enclosed within brackets, e.g.: "Section [_____ - ______]."
Optional paragraphs are separated by an "OR" statement, e.g.:
**** OR ****
"Green" requirements are included for projects requiring LEED certification, and are included as green text. For additional information on LEEDS, visit the U.S. Green Building Council website at www.usgbc.org.
