Physical Barriers
A Physical Barrier protects your property by preventing the entry of
termites, driving them away from your property.
Physical Barriers can only be installed prior to the slab being laid. By an accredited
installer
The active ingredient in the control agent kills termites fast, so any particular
tough termite that might penetrate into the membrane is quickly eliminated before
it has any chance of entering your property.
The control agent in the Physical Barrier has been designed in Australia
for Australian conditions - which means it will protect your home against the
voracious termites that are native to Australia.
How does a Physical Barrier work?
A Physical Barrier is a membrane that comes in 1500mm wide sheets which are laid prior to the slab in the exact same fashion as if laying a standard moisture membrane. The sheets must be overlapped by 200mm, sealed with adhesive and taped down with a quality cloth tape.
The control agent is a flexible system that may be installed in many difficult and complicated areas including multiple penetrations, steps downs, etc. It can be molded into unusual building designs and is easily cut and joined ensuring total protection of the building.
The Physical Barrier has a high fibre density of 200g per square meter. The design
cushions the system and prevents it being squashed, even under heavy building
loads or even if it gets wet.
The Physical Barrier is easily and quickly installed and has no sharp edges that
could possibly get in the way of other tradespeople.
The barrier is long lasting and will remain in place protecting your property without the need of continually pumping it up with additional chemicals.
