Termimesh Termite Barriers for Green Building

Environmentally-Friendly Steel Mesh Termite BarrieRs

Green building practices are no longer considered a passing fad. The demand for commercial and residential structures to incorporate sustainable building practices in its design, construction and ongoing maintenance continue to rise steadily.

In a report released by Turner Construction, 83% of building owners, developers, architects, and engineers said they would be likely to seek LEED certification for buildings they are planning to build within the next three years. Additionally, in a related report from the Building Owners and Managers Association, green building material expenditures are projected to reach $100 billion over the next 10 years, and that green building will create at least 2 million jobs.

What does the push for LEED certification and sustainable building practices mean to architects, builders, property managers, and homeowners?

It means a home or office building has been designed and built according to standards set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council covering everything from what materials were used, how they were installed, where the building is located, and how the building is maintained.

Preventing destructive termites from invading structures, and literally eating away at the structural integrity of the building and causing thousands of dollars of damage, can also earn LEED credits.

The Termimesh System and Termistop are International Code Council approved for new construction and on many projects have contributed a full Innovation in Design credit under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED NC building program. Many homes have utilized installation of these products for Sustainable Sites credit under the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Standards and LEED H.

Both products are designed to blend in seamlessly with new construction and afford a level of security against termite infestation that is unmatched. They are the only approved physical termite barrier treatment on the market and its marine grade stainless steel mesh prevents termites from entering a structure and causing damage.
