HOW DOES THE TERMIMESH SYSTEM WORK?
The Termimesh System is a totally engineered stainless steel mesh physical barrier and will not require or depend on any “traditional poisonous chemicals” as the primary protection of the building against subterranean termites. The Termimesh System is not applied “like chemicals” which is sprayed onto the soil beneath the building slab and under all the aprons. The Termimesh System is not time or weather restrictive and will not require any government department including NEA’s approval and as such will not impede any critical path construction activity.
The Termimesh System is primarily dependent on the proprietary ultramarine grade TMA725 stainless steel mesh, functioning as the safe and long-term physical termite control to keep termites out. The Termimesh System is designed to “block” all the hidden “routes” which termites generally prefer to enter any building for the long term. The termites may then come out into the open and become visible to be dealt with.
Installation location
The termite control system is installed in areas that termites can pass through to penetrate into the building. Normally, it will not affect the design and construction process. Numerous surveys and evidence show that the majority of intrusions into the building come from interconnected circuits, construction joints and around engineering piping that are laid through the floor.
Installation location of termite control system consists of the following three typical areas:
Type 104 - Interconnected Joints, Construction Joints
--> Install the termite control system in interconnected joints, construction joints and control points on the floor and walls of the building.

RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

Type 103 - Perimeter of the construction
--> Install around the perimeter of the construction area
PARTS OUTSIDE THE WORKS

Type 109 - The edges around the pipes which are placed through the floor
--> Install the termite control system around the edges of the pipes that pass through the floor

From the brief introduction and analysis of this termite control approach as well as from "TCVN 7958: 2008", the Building Code 204: 1998 and Australia's "AS 3660.1-2010" on the protection of buildings, termite control for new buildings along with practical conditions, we advise investors to choose termite prevention method with stainless steel mesh system for construction, especially for high-grade buildings or basement construction. This method which has been applied widely is the most feasible method with high economic efficiency and safety for the environment.
