UNDERSTANDING SPECIFICATIONTermimesh Specification Package for Architects

SPECIFY TRUE PROTECTIONUnderstand the difference. Assisting architects and commercial builders in understanding the differences that exist between Termimesh and other termite barrier systems.

We are here to help architects specify the true and proven protection that comes with the backing of premium materials, trusted performance and good people who understand commercial construction.

This specification package has been designed to help architects specify Termimesh, simply and with real understanding.

TECHNICAL AND ON SITE EXPERIENCETermimesh product and installation practices are technically superior to any other mesh option because of our tightly controlled manufacturing standards and highly evolved installation specifications.

We understand exactly where to install mesh to ensure the ongoing protection of the building. Our specifications and installations cover all vulnerable points and we guarantee that they are termite proof.

We have never taken shortcuts with our installations, and never will.

Simply put, our installations are effective because we invented stainless steel mesh termite barrier and have spent over 25 years refining our processes. There is no substitute for on the job experience and every builder knows that.

HELPING ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERSOver 150 individual, CodeMark compliant installation specifications

Design and installation of the System to meet specific requirements on every project

Ensure protection of all termite entry points e.g. Service Penetrations, control joins, cold joints, retaining walls and perimeter cavity walls.
