Manufacturer Update: Clarification on Termicoat® and Industry Compliance

Over the past two years, persistent rumors and misinformation have surrounded Termicoat® and its application in the pre-construction industry. These claims, primarily stemming from pest control companies unable to access Termicoat, require clarification.

Key Advantages of Termicoat® for Builders

Builders adopting Termicoat gain several advantages over traditional sheeting systems:

• Cost Savings:
  Avoid additional charges from pest companies required to repair damaged systems.

• Improved Workflow:
  Eliminate delays caused by poorly installed or damaged sheeting systems from other trades.

• NCC 2022 Compliance:
  Prevent potential non-compliance due to sheeting systems that fail to protrude through brick walls, as mandated by the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022.

• Inspection Assurance:
  Avoid private building inspectors flagging non-compliance issues when pest management systems do not meet brickwork installation requirements.

Misconceptions About Termicoat® and Codemark Certification 

To clarify, Codemark certification, while optional, is not a requirement for compliance. Termicoat is fully compliant with NCC 2022 standards, making Codemark certification redundant for our product. Compliance is not established by the certification itself but is a prerequisite for receiving it.

Ethical Practices and Partnerships 

While some pest control companies express interest in partnering, Termicoat remains committed to ethical standards. We will not engage with operators employing questionable practices, ensuring the integrity of our solutions.

Commitment to Compliance and Industry Standards

We recognize that misinformation can create uncertainty, especially in a challenging market. However, Termicoat stands firm in its commitment to providing compliant, reliable, and efficient solutions for the pre-construction industry.
