NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESGranitGard chemical free physical termite barrier![]() Granitgard is a chemical free physical termite barrier providing a safe, cost effective and reliable barrier to deter the concealed entry of Subterranean Termites. Natural crushed and screened Australian granite and PVC strip shielding is installed into the brick cavity around the perimeter of new buildings, the area most prone to attack by subterranean termites. The Granitgard particle barrier works by being too dense and hard for termites to push or chew their way through. This forces any termite activity into the open where it can be visually detected. It is therefore essential that a 75mm "inspection zone" clear of obstructions be maintained around the bottom outside edge of the building and a visual termite inspection be carried out by the installer of the barrier at least once a year. Granitgard can be used in conjunction with other approved termite barriers. The costs, health risks and inconvenience of re-treatments to chemical barriers are avoided with Granitgard, offering a more sustainable solution to termite protection. Granitgard has full CSIRO approval backed up with the much sort after Australian Building Code Board Certificate. Granitgard has also received the Environmental Choice Declaration from the Environmental Labelling Association. Granitgard Termite Barriers are only installed by authorised and fully trained Granitgard licensees following strict installation and quality assurance guidelines. |
