Termite Protected Structural Framing T2 Red from Hyne

Protecting the Australian dream

Building a new home is one of the most important financial commitments you and your family will ever make, so it makes sense to protect your investment against the increasing threat of termite infestation.

Hyne T2 framing combines plantation grown material with a biodegradable preservative to provide a building material that is not only termite resistant, but also ecologically sound. Hyne T2 Red's formula contains minimal Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, is completely safe for humans and other mammals, and comes with a 25 year transferable guarantee, making it the perfect choice for your new home.

Hyne T2 Red has been specifically designed for the more aggressive northern termites that are found north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Hyne T2 Red is recommended for use in all areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn and provides protection against the common termites and wood borers found in these regions.

Severe termite damage to Australian homes is on the increase due to changes in the allowable termite barriers. Termites cause more damage to homes in Australia than fire, floods and storms combined.

Termites have been known to destroy untreated wall and roofing timbers of a new home within three months of construction if not properly protected. They silently chew their way through untreated timber members, leaving the surface of the wood intact. Termites represent a serious threat to homes, often leaving little or no evidence of their presence until it is too late.

Did you know?

• There are more than three hundred and fifty species of termites in Australia, with approximately 20 of these species known to cause economic damage to houses.
• Termites can travel considerable distance underground to attack buildings in search of food. Up to 50 metres is realistic, therefore they can access your house from beyond your property boundaries.
• Termites don't just target timber houses. A CSIRO study (Cookson, 1999) revealed that steel and masonry houses had virtually the same chances of attack as timber houses.
• Your household insurance policy does not cover damage caused to your home by termite infestation.
