New hySPAN H2 - not just a surface treatment

hySPAN H2 offers all the benefits of hySPAN with added termite deterrent qualities. hySPAN H2 is treated to the core to Hazard Level 2 with DeterMite. A unique treatment is applied during manufacture to every glueline. Good news considering the annual cost of termite damage in Australia often exceeds that of fire, flood and storms. You cannot insure against termites, but with futurebuild technology you can take effective preventative steps.

Denis Tosin, Market Manager from futurebuild explains, "For a great many years the market has been demanding a termite solution. Particularly in the country. Everyone was ready for it, asking for it. The Plywood Association was ready to help too. Through glue technology - by adding DeterMite into the glue during manufacture - we've had a path forward for a system to be developed. Application to I Joists with our Hybeam H2 product was the first logical step. Application to our hySPAN product is a natural progression."

Denis adds: "hySPAN compliments the Hybeam range but goes into many more applications - floor joists, beams, lintels, roof rafters and more. And now hySPAN H2 offers all those benefits with added termite deterrent qualities."

According to Denis, the DeterMite treatment is especially effective because it is not simply a surface treatment. "The DeterMite is added to every glueline during manufacture of the laminated veneer layers so there is no need to reseal end cuts. The main ingredient is Bifenthrin. It's a safe, odourless treatment which achieves full termite protection from the surface to the core of the beam. "The treatment is guaranteed to be effective for up to 25 years. It is cost effective protection against termite structural damage and is non-corrosive to nails and fixing plates."

How do you know hySPAN H2 is on site? Denis explains "Easy. It's coloured bright yellow and is clearly marked with the hySPAN H2 brand." And choices? Denis adds, "The hySPAN range is available H2 treated in four thicknesses: 36 mm, 45 mm, 63 mm and 75 mm."

And for the technically inclined, H2 treated hySPAN is manufactured to provide termite resistance equivalent to AS 1604 Hazard Level 2 for areas of Australia south of the Tropic of Capricorn. It also conforms to the NSW Timber Marketing Act and the Queensland Timber Utilisation and Marketing Act. hySPAN H2 is approved for use in applications which can be described as 'interior or protected above ground'. This is equivalent to Hazard Level 2 as defined in AS 1604 Specification for Preservative Treatment - Part 3: Plywood, and Part 4: Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL). With all that said, hySPAN H2 is therefore not suitable for situations that will be exposed to weather or dampness such as ground contact.

We asked Denis Tosin about the growing market for hySPAN H2. "Country builders are using hySPAN H2 much more widely now because that's where the termite problem is quite substantial. And of course, the risk is big in some city areas."

What about the cost conscious? "Volume builders are also beginning to see the value in using futurebuild's H2 products. Even though they have to be very price conscious they can also see the comfort and protection termite treatment gives. And when you consider the premium is so minimal, why not?"

Denis sums it up this way: "hySPAN H2 is a truly valuable addition to our range. It gives the homeowner peace of mind for what is often their greatest asset. And it's simple and safe." The futurebuild H2 range ensures that wherever you use hySPAN H2 and Hybeam H2 from subfloors to roof rafters, it'll be bad news for termites. Good news for you.
