Building a new home is one of the most important financial commitments you and your family will ever make, so protecting your investment against the threat of termite and borer infestation just makes sense. Luckily, we've got you covered with a 25 year guarantee.
Product Suitability

Hyne Timber T2 Red has been specifically developed to provide protection against the mastotermes darwiniensis in internal, above ground applications in all areas of mainland Australia, including North of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Hyne Timber T2 Blue is suitable for indoor, above ground applications South of the Tropic of Capricorn only.

For applications that require protection against both termite and fungal attack, Hyne Timber recommends the use of T3 Green Plus, which is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor, above ground applications.

The Guarantee

T2 Red is a termite resistant material. It is intended for indoor, above ground applications north of the Tropic of Capricorn only, and is designed and manufactured to meet the service life expectations outlined by the National Construction Code (NCC). When used in conjunction with the T2 Red Installation Requirements, T2 Red will protect a building from termite action in accordance with the performance requirements of the NCC. 

Hyne Timber (Hyne & Son Pty Ltd) offers a 25 year guarantee to the home owner or purchaser against termite damage to the extent that it has become structurally unfit for its intended use.

Use T2 Red with T2 Red
Whilst it’s okay to use other timbers alongside T2 Red, we cannot guarantee their performance. Ensure your frame is constructed from T2 Red only.
 
Garden Maintenance
Keep your garden out of your home - don’t build garden beds immediately adjacent to your home, and ensure your yard does not become overgrown
 
Recommended Maintenance
  • Do not build garden beds or raise lawns against the sides of buildings as this may allow termites to enter
  • Do not alter the existing building unless the necessary measures have been undertaken to prevent termite entry
  • Ensure compliance with all recommendations issued by Hyne Timber as at the date of purchase of T2 Red
