Roses are red, Lumber is ...blue???

That's right! There is a new building material that is sure to have home owners and builders, seeing less red and more green. It's called BluWood and it is the creation of WoodSmart Solutions of Boca Raton, Florida.

What makes BluWood the next best thing? Well for one, the worst thing you can do to your home is add water. If that isn't enough, the second worst thing you can do to your home is add wood destroying insects. Those two combinations are a receipe for destruction on any home. BluWood helps to eliminate both!

BluWood works in two ways. First, using the technology of "Infusion-Film" to form a water-repellent semi vapor permeable film that strengthens the wood fibers to provide moisture absorption. BluWood is also formulated to resist mold growth on the cured surface of the film.

The second way BluWood works is through the use of "Perfect Barrier DOT Wood Preservative," a proven fungicide and insecticide that gives protection from rot fungi and wood ingesting insects, including termites.


"Mold requires three things to grow: organic matter (such as wood), mold spores and water. Mold is everywhere, it always has been . . . . In a new building, mold will start to show up within months."
