Block has been exposed unprotected to the elements for many years. Treated side protected, untreated side has normal degradation. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ?Termcoat installation costs are very competitive and have significant advantages over otherTermite management systems as a result of the versatility of the product and ease of installation. A major benefit of Termcoat is that whereas other methods require additional costs to eradicate Termites when they invade the building Termcoat repellency stops the termites from accessing the building. A STAND ALONE PERIMETER TERMITE BARRIER AND INSPECTION ZONE IN ONE APPLICATION DOES IT STOP TERMITES ?Termites are repelled from all the areas that Termcoat has been applied thereby providing abarrier to prevent termite migration into the building. IS FINISHED PRODUCT UNSIGHTLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF BUILDING ?Termcoat is designed as a clear finished sealant that blends in with the original finish on newconstruction to retain the aesthetics of the building. HOW DOES TERMCOAT PROVIDE THE INSPECTION ZONE?When applied from the concrete slab continuously to 75mm above finished ground levelTermcoat provides a complete perimeter termite barrier and the required inspection zone alleviating the necessity of any additional perimeter termite protection. Termcoat can also be used to create the required inspection zone on existing installations by attaching onto the marginal edge of existing installation and continuing either up or down or bridging continuously for 75mm to obtain the required inspection zone distance. This can be especially beneficial in areas where there are pathways, driveways etc. The cavity application can also assist to achieve the correct distance of the inspection zone . WHAT IS EFFECT ON THE BUILDER?Termcoat can be applied on completion of the building thereby ensuring all finished clearances and distances are within the specifications of the Building Code of Australia.Termcoat complies with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia in forcing the termites to a visually exposed face of the building where termites must cross or pass over the full distance of the required inspection zone to allow for visual detection. Unlike other methods Termcoat due to its termite repellency also converts this inspection zone into a barrier deterring termites from migrating over the surface and into the building. Complies with or exceeds all the regulatory authority requirements and has CodeMark approval Cures to a clear finish avoiding unsightly 75mm inspection zone on exposed face of building. Retains adhesion eliminating drummy tiles, window and door sills and allows uninterrupted and continuous uniform construction of masonry mortar and retains the maximum inspection zone distance. Can be applied to all masonry surfaces including render and painted surfaces Creates a complete perimeter termite management system avoiding the necessity for additional installations or cavity physical management systems. Can be applied or replenished at any time including when carrying out additions or repairs. Can be used to rectify existing termite invasion including wall cavity protection. Cost effective with the additional advantage of providing a termite management system and a termite barrier in one application for the one fee. Meets the Queensland requirement of 50 year design life as Termcoat can be reapplied at any time. The majority of Physical Termite management systems including bait stations are generally a method of monitoring to detect termite activity and require additional work to eradicate the termite infestation. They do not prevent termites from entering the building. Without the required inspection zones or modules and the building owner ensuring regular inspections are carried out and eradicating termites upon detection these systems do not prevent termite infestation in the building.
