Termi-nator Termite Resistant Plantation Pine Framing

Termi-nator is the environmentally responsible option for termite resistant framing that is guaranteed to resist termite attack for 25 years.

Termi-nator - Peace of Mind

Termi-nator is treated with an organic pesticide that is safe for humans and animals but toxic to termites. With a fully transferable 25-year warranty against termite damage, Termi-nator offers peace of mind to builders and homeowners.

Termite Risk

Termites are present in many regions of Australia and sensible steps should be taken to protect homes from invasion. The building code gives several methods for achieving whole of house protection. These methods protect not just the structural frame but also other materials like doors, cupboards and carpets.

Combined with whole of house protection, Termi-nator provides an effective barrier to termite damage and is recognised by Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia (BCA) as a termite resistant building material.

Termi-nator - Made from Environmentally Responsible Plantation Pine

Plantations where Termi-nator timber is grown, act as air filters by absorbing and locking up deadly carbon monoxide. Compare this to other termite resistant building materials such as steel, the production of which actually releases this pollution into the atmosphere.

Timber plantations are protected by Commonwealth regulations and are carefully managed and replanted.
