Building Bright means making smart choices for your home. That includes protecting your family from mold damage and termite infestation. Mold is a growing issue in the gulf south, and is typically not covered by homeowners insurance or builder’s risk insurance. When you build bright with BluWood, the frustration of structural rebuilding caused by termites, rot or toxic mold is simply a non-issue.

Both mold and fungus need moisture to grow. Certain types of fungus cause wood rot, while others grow in unsightly colonies and can lead to respiratory conditions. But when it comes to asthma, allergies and serious environmentally-based respiratory illness, mold is a major culprit. Building bright protects against silent invaders like mold*, fungus and wood-destroying insects. And in a climate where humidity and temperatures soar, BluWood is a bright choice for both your home and your family.

You’ve chosen every detail—from your home’s colors and fixtures to the perfect trim and cabinets. After all, a new home or renovation is an investment of much more than time and money; it’s a reflection of your own unique character. When you build with BluWood, you help ensure every personal touch lasts for years.

*BluWood’s Infusion Film is especially formulated to resist mold growth on the cured film surface.

What is BluWood?

It is the only product of its kind on the market. BluWood is protected with the Perfect Barrier Infusion System®, a factory applied, two-part treatment that defends wood framing materials from mold, moisture and warping, fungi and wood-destroying insects, including the Formosan termite.

How is BluWood different from traditional wood?

Unlike traditional framing lumber or pressure-treated wood, proven protection is built into the inner and outer fiber of BluWood. The Perfect Barrier Infusion System® makes BluWood uninhabitable to insects and combats the effects of moisture with a water repellent, vapor permeable film. Designed for interior and exterior applications, BluWood is safe on the job-site and safe in your home. And all BluWood products are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.*

*See your builder for complete details on the Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Ask your builder for BluWood.

It’s exactly the same as traditional lumber, just different. On average BluWood adds about 1% to total construction cost. A nice number—especially compared to the expensive surprise of structural repairs. And it will significantly reduce your builder’s lumber loss on the job site due to water damage or mold growth. Plus BluWood can be sawn, painted, nailed and adhered like regular lumber. That means no special tools or additional materials are required to build your new home or addition. Ask your builder to use BluWood. Isn’t it great when the smart answer is also the easy one?
