6. Timber Framing in Termite-Prone Areas

Timber framing is successfully used in termite-prone areas across Australia, with proven systems available to manage termite risk.

Treated timber products can provide added protection in areas where termites are a concern. Building standards also include requirements for termite management, helping ensure timber-framed buildings are designed and constructed appropriately for their location.

With the right materials, design and termite management measures, timber can be a safe and reliable choice — even in termite-prone regions.

The good news is - Termites don’t rule out timber.
