About this service

About term-seal physical barrier

TERM-seal is a physical barrier system that blocks concealed termite entry at slab penetrations, perimeters and construction joints — with no chemicals required. It's ideal where owners prefer a non-chemical, long-life solution.

Installed during construction by trained applicators, the system seals the gaps termites use to enter undetected, forcing any activity into the open where it's easily spotted.

Why it matters

Why protect the build

New builds attract termites

Fresh timber, disturbed soil and building moisture make a site prime termite territory from day one.

Rarely insured

Termite damage is almost never covered by home insurance — the barrier is the protection.

Required for approval

A compliant termite management system is a building-code requirement for new work in NSW.

Cheapest at build stage

Installing protection during construction costs a fraction of retrofitting it later.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is it really chemical-free?

Yes — a physical barrier blocks termite entry mechanically at penetrations and the perimeter, with no termiticide, which suits clients who prefer a chemical-free system.

How long is the warranty?

Physical barriers carry a long material warranty — we'll confirm the exact term for your specified product on quote.

Can it be combined with other systems?

Yes — physical barriers are often paired with a reticulation or chemical perimeter for complete, layered protection.
