R-Control^® SIPs FrameGuard^TM Coated

Make sure your building plans include built-in mold, mildew, and termite protection.

R-Control SIPs are heavyweights against the destructive agents of mold, mildew, and termites. The Foam-Control™ EPS in R-Control SIPs is treated with Perform Guard^® termite protection. And the entire SIP, when treated with the FrameGuard Coating prevents mold, mildew, and termite damage to its wood components.

Safe and Effective.

R-Control SIPs FrameGuard Coated are protected with organic fungicides and a borate compound tested to be effective. The organic compounds remain close to the surface to provide protection against mold; moldicides inhibit the enzymes’ ability to break down the wood and consume the sugars and starches mold needs for growth. Meanwhile the borate component penetrates into wood providing protection against both decay and termites.

Built-in Protection.

When you specify R-Control SIPs FrameGuard Coated, there is built-in protection against future costly repairs due to mold, fungal decay, and termites. From the time the building materials arrive on the job site, throughout construction and after occupancy of the structure, FrameGuard Coating continues to protect the R-Control SIP structure and the owner’s investment. Using FrameGuard Coated R-Control SIPs and wood components makes good economic sense.

Go Green.
