Ford Timbers' DPR Plus counters termites

Ford Timbers (manufacturers of DPR hardwood) has addressed termite infestation in its new range of termite resistant, dead straight DPR Plus structural hardwood products that are ideal for all bearer, joist and framing application.

The New DPR Plus range is made from specially selected CCA treated, termite resistant hardwood species which exhibit low shrinkage characteristics.

This termite resistant timber is planed with a smooth surface and 'pencil round' edges. Specialised sawing technology guarantees timber which is dead straight, strong and accurate to size.

In addition to the major advantage of being termite resistant, DPR Plus has all the usual benefits of the DPR™ hardwood range including the speeding up of construction time by eliminating most preparation work. All DPR™ products capture the qualities of hardwood without the usual downsides, such as incorrect sizing, excessive bow and spring, uneven and excessive shrinkage and rough splintery handling.

DPR Plus solves the problem of what timber to use if the task calls for durability and strength of hardwood without the usual downsides and provides the additional advantage of being termite resistant.
