Termite resistant framing materials
Nine out of ten Australian homeowners and builders are concerned about termite
attack and damage on their homes*. This increase in awareness highlights the need
for termite management systems at both the design and building stage.
You should be aware of the options for termite control; there are different
methods of termite protection that fall under the following categories:
- Chemical barriers
- Physical barriers
- Termite resistant materials
- Minimum termite risk construction
- Home inspections
- Landscaping considerations
A "whole of house" protection ensures that an entire home is protected
from termite attack. It therefore includes protection for the non-structural elements
such as window frames, skirting boards, cupboards, furniture and plaster-board,
as well as the structural frame.
Terminator is covered by a simple transferable warranty offer, giving homeowners
peace of mind that all their framing materials are covered against termite attack
and damage - for 25 years.
Plus, the Termi-nator warranty is backed by one of Australia's foremost and
reputable timber suppliers - Carter Holt Harvey Woodproducts Australia Group.
 When
used in conjunction with a whole-of-house termite protection/management system,
Termi-nator offers that extra peace of mind.
Termite protection is something to think about now, not later, as it will affect
the design of the home. For more information on Termi-nator termite resistant
