Protecting homes from the inside out, termite treated blue pine gives homeowners a sense of security and reduces the need for regular treatments with costly chemical sprays. Sourced from preferred supply partners to Dahlsens, Timberlink with Timberlink Blue and Hyne Timber with Hyne T2 Blue, the framing timber is safe for both humans and animals.
It is treated with a non-hazardous active ingredient commonly found in household products including head lice shampoo and flea collars. The blue colouring is simply food colouring, or a pigment also used for colouring products such as craft paints, intended for identification purposes only.

Building with termite treated blue pine
According to AS3660, when building to resist termite attack, the use of termite treated timber is approved, as is also the use of a barrier system. Do check with your local council to ensure the deemed-to satisfy conditions are met.
In choosing termite treated pine, there are cost benefits for the builder – it removes the need for a trade to install the barrier, and for the home owner with no annual inspections.
Assured with a 25-year termite protection guarantee from Timberlink and Hyne Timber, two of Australia’s largest and most trusted softwood producers, Timberlink Blue and Hyne T2 treated timber blue pine has been used to frame hundreds of thousands of builds, without a single failure recorded due to termite damage.
