Components
The HomeGuard PTM system consists of the following components: HomeGuard TMB, HomeGuard DPC HomeGuard Blue, HomeGuard GT and HomeGuard Collars.
HomeGuard TMB
HomeGuard TMB complies with all requirements of Australian Standard AS2870 so can also double as a 0.2mm high impact moisture barrier.
HomeGuard DPC

HomeGuard Blue
HomeGuard Blue is a cost effective perimeter barrier. It does not comply with AS2870 so requires a seperate DPC to be installed.
HomeGuard GT
HomeGuard GT is a pro-active, granulated termite barrier. it can be used for a full permieter and is also ideal to use in corrective situations .
HomeGuard Collars
HomeGuard Collars the first ever impregnated service penetration collars that simply lock into the slab, even if installed incorrectly.
The Collars are a unique patented design making them the only rigid penetration collar on the market that will Kill and Repel Termites as well as physically stop their entry into the building.
The collars come in various sizes to fit most penetrations in a home and all comply with the requirements of Australian Standard AS2870.
