Bluewood in US?

[ponjohn]

I've emailed Bluewood of Canada to see if they have distributors in the US, never responded.

Anyone have luck buying this here or an equivalent product?

Thanks.

Dave should be able to tell you who the local distributor(s) are in CT.

The other alternative-
There are a few companies that specialize in 'post framing' applications of Disodium Octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT). There are pro's and con's both ways. The biggest arguments I've heard- certified applications (Bluwood) have better warranty (and transferable). Site applied (post framing) coatings cover cut ends of lumber.

Thanks for the info. There is a distributor listed in upsatae NY but the website was uninformative.

I am looking to use it for framing a basement.

If you are able to acquire it, make sure you get the purple spray foam to go with it.

Since no one else has said it, blue wood is lumber with a chemical treatment against mold, rot and insects. The wood ends up dyed blue, not sure if it's the chemicals or actually dyed for easy identification and marketing. Those of use who have watched the Holmes on Homes shows know that he strongly recommends using it everywhere in home construction, not just basements.
The purple foam comment comes from his shows where he usually uses the closed cell spray foam that serves as a vapor barrier along with having the highest R-rating per inch of any spray foam insulation. The original brand of this foam had a dark blue/purplish color.
