Timber Framing is Proven in Termite-Prone Areas

Think termites mean you should choose steel over timber? The NCC tells a different story.

For termite risk management, appropriately preservative-treated timber and steel are both recognised as materials not subject to termite attack.

That means treated timber framing is a recognised solution for building in termite-prone areas, backed by established building requirements and proven products.

It’s time to replace old perceptions with the facts.

Together with and , we’re helping put timber back in the conversation.

🌲Timber Supports Thermal Performance

Good thermal performance begins with material choice.

Timber's natural insulating properties help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling. That means lower energy use over the life of the building - good for occupants, and good for the planet.

For the frame and truss sector, this is more than a talking point - it's a specification advantage. Timber-framed homes benefit from timber's low thermal conductivity compared to alternatives.

For manufacturers, this translates into a genuine value proposition when working with builders and designers: specifying timber frame and truss systems isn't just a structural decision, it's an energy-performance one - helping homes meet increasingly stringent thermal performance requirements under the National Construction Code. By maintaining consistent thermal efficiency across the life of the home, timber framed construction supports lower environmental impact (less emissions and demands of power to heat and cool the property throughout its life), while keeping homes more comfortable and affordable to heat and cool for the homeowner.

Together with and , we're helping industry talk about timber with confidence.

Timber is Built to Last 🏡

Performance is measured over the life of a building. When properly designed, built and maintained, timber-framed buildings can achieve a service life of at least 50 years, continuing to perform for generations.

For frame and truss manufacturers, that long-term performance starts well before a frame arrives on site. Precision design, engineering and manufacturing all contribute to structural timber systems that are made to perform reliably throughout the life of a building.

Australia's frame and truss sector combines timber's proven performance with increasingly sophisticated manufacturing technology and expertise. It means the homes we're framing today aren't simply about meeting Australia's immediate housing needs – they're about creating quality, enduring homes that can serve Australian families and communities for generations.

This is Week 4 of 14 – Let's Put Timber Back in the Conversation, helping our industry share a consistent message about why timber remains such an important building material for Australia's future.

Together with , we're equipping the built environment with simple, credible talking points about timber.

A wet and chilly day on the Bellarine Peninsula certainly didn't dampen anyone's spirits. 🌿

We were proud to partner with 15 Trees and Bellarine Landcare for a planting day at Circulus Wines, helping restore native vegetation and support local biodiversity.

A huge thank you to Bellarine Landcare Nursery and Queenscliff Indigenous Nursery for supplying the beautiful native trees, shrubs and grasses, and to our amazing team who rolled up their sleeves and got planting.

Once established, these plantings will help restore habitat, improve biodiversity, protect the health of the vineyard waterway and contribute to long-term carbon sequestration.

A fantastic day and a brilliant effort from everyone involved. Thank you!

Barwon Timber is proud to have supplied the structural materials that have helped this impressive Clifton Springs home by Le Maistre Builders become part of Australia's Best Homes. This house demonstrates the best of what Australia has to offer in terms of residential design and construction, and serve as an inspiration for future projects.

From striking exterior cladding to the flooring underfoot and the structural joists supporting it all, every layer plays its part.
The facade combines Hardie Stria for a clean, contemporary look with Hardie Matrix Cladding Smooth for a bold geometric finish. Beneath the surface, the underfloor system supplied by Barwon Timber provides the ultimate foundation. Our structural joists work quietly behind the scenes to deliver long-lasting strength.
