Technical Insights into
Homeguard's Barrier System
Delve into the technical specifics of Homeguard’s Termite Protection System. Designed for architects, builders, and engineers, adaptable to pre-cast panels, bearers and joists, and complex construction joints.
Sectional Details
Homeguard’s unique composition offers robust protection. Its multi-layered membrane blocks concealed termite ingress, ensuring structural integrity. Each layer serves a specific function—repelling termites and providing a durable physical barrier.
Custom Integration
Given its versatility, Homeguard can be customized to fit any architectural detail. Whether it’s a challenging retrofit or a new build, the system is tailored to provide optimal protection.
Perimeter
Perimeter Installation targets the critical junction where the building meets the ground, providing a focused barrier that prevents termites from entering through the edges of the structure.
Bearers and Joists
Termite protection at the intersection of bearers, joists, and the building perimeter.
Cladding
Integration of termite barriers with perimeter cladding installations.
As DPC
Using Homeguard as a damp-proof course, ensuring continuous termite protection.
Cladding Weatherboard
