The Granitgard physical termite barrier is a product that offers a
unique termite barrier system for most commercial and domestic
construction in Australia. In comparison to other termite barrier
products which use manufactured material with high embodied energy
or chemical termiticides Granitgard offers more sustainable termite
protection. When other important environmental attributes including
water use, human and environmental toxicity, waste and longevity are
assessed the results of the verification demonstrate Granitgards
significant environmental load reductions compared to similar and
related products in Australia.
