The fine stone particles that form a natural, long-life termite
barrier
for new buildings and extensions
TERMITE DAMAGE
Subterranean termite (white ant) damage is a significant concern throughout
mainland Australia. Infestation in some areas is greater than one in five houses.
TERMITES FEEDING
As a result, the Building Code of Australia makes it compulsory to provide
a termite barrier to protect structural timber in new buildings. To leave any timber unprotected is a real risk.

AREAS TO PROTECT
Perimeters:
Granitgard is placed around building perimeters, providing a flexible, long-life termite barrier for these highly
vulnerable areas. Pipes:
By surrounding each pipe with a collar of Granitgard, this common termite access point is blocked. The Granitgard
remains flexible and allows for independent ground, slab and pipe movement. Construction Joints and Retaining Walls: These design features are not incorporated into all buildings but where they
are termites often use them for access. Granitgard installers offer a number of approved treatment methods to protect
these hidden areas. Underfloor:
Granitgard can also provide effective underfloor protection if required.
