Advance Guard® Treated Wood

Advance Guard® Installation

  • Field treatment of all end cuts and borings, including plumbing and electrical holes, is required on all lumber and timbers over 2” in thickness. Field treatment shall be either a 2% solution (copper metal basis) of Copper Naphthenate or a 10% solution of DOT, or another end coat preservative approved by Koppers.
  • Use industry accepted good construction practices for the construction of all wood member assemblies.
  • Construction shall meet or exceed state and local building codes and standards.
  • Comply with local, state, and federal safety regulations when installing framing and sheathing.

Job Site Storage and Handling

  • As with untreated wood, it is necessary to keep Advance Guard® Borate Pressure Treated Wood products dry by covering the material or storing the materials under shelter and elevating the material above the ground to allow for air circulation.
  • Sheathing should be covered as soon as practical after installation. If wetted during initial construction, allow materials to properly dry before permanently enclosing with felt, wallboard, etc.
  • After working with the wood, and before eating, drinking, and use of tobacco products, wash exposed areas thoroughly.
