Why would you want to build a home with a timber frame?

One of the biggest hazards to a timber frame is the possibility of being infested by termites.

No treatment or chemical barrier method guarantees to keep termites out!

Builders who use timber are required to provide a termite barrier solution to reduce the threat of termite attack to the structural framework.

Warranties are provided by the termite barrier installer however the home owner is then required to pay for ongoing annual inspections to maintain the warranty which could cost you in the vicinity of $5,000 on termite inspections in every 10-year period.

Just speak to someone who has lived through the horror of their timber framed home being infested by termites, having to treat and/or rectify the damage to their biggest investment.

The Building Code of Australia only requires termite protection if the structural members of the home are subject to termite attack.

Steel frames are non-combustible and is the preferred choice in high fire risk areas. 

Plastic grommets are inserted into the pre-punched service holes of the framing which is a requirement of the Building Code of Australia.

Remember – termites don’t eat steel and steel is chemical and pesticide free.
