Sourcing a Termite Impregnated Strip?

BenCor

I'm building a deck in the backyard that will be connected to the house and there's a requirement to have a "termite impregnated strip between bearer and existing dwelling to AS3660.1" 

Any ideas where I can but the strips from (preferably in Melb south-east suburbs)? product names?

Hi @BenCor,

For a strip which is required by a building code, I'm not seeing a lot of reference to them being for sale online. Was it a strip impregnated with poison to kill termites or a strip of steel/plastic that the termites could not eat through? I have certainly heard of requirements for gaps and materials termite can't chew through. There also appears to be membranes available but whether that falls under the classification of a strip I'm not sure.

Perhaps your best bet would be to call up a few termite specialists and ask if they install products which reach this building requirement.

Alternatively, you might have luck with contacting the Building Code of Australia's advice and assistance hotline on Ph: 1800 003 338.
