Termite and Borer Resistance: Fact vs Marketing

Protection that is engineered in

Termite and borer resistance is not a coating sprayed at the end. It is a treatment applied to the timber during manufacturing, so protection lives throughout the panel, not just on its surface.

Reading the spec sheet

Look for weather resistance and a stated warranty. A 20-year warranty is only meaningful when it is backed by measurable manufacturing controls.

The long view

Pest damage is slow and invisible until it is catastrophic. Specifying a properly treated panel is the cheapest insurance a project can buy.
