Hyne T2 Blue Treatment
What is the T2 Treatment and why should we use it?
Australia is home to more than 350 species of termites, and unfortunately, many of them love eating timber. It’s estimated that each year, around one in five Australian households are affected by termites — and damage caused by them usually isn’t covered by insurance. At TrussTec, we value your home, which is why we use T2 Blue termite-treated Hyne timber frames to help protect your investment.
T2 Blue treated timber comes with a 25-year guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind. The treatment works from the inside out, offering deep and lasting protection against termites without the need for ongoing maintenance costs. Unlike many other termite management systems, no annual inspections are required, making T2 Blue an affordable and convenient option for homeowners.
So, is the T2 timber treatment safe? Yes! T2 Treatment was developed by scientists to mimic natural insect-repelling compounds produced by certain plants, including the common Dalmatian daisy. It is safe for adults, children, and pets. In fact, similar ingredients are used in many everyday flea collars for dogs.
How much does it cost? While treated timber is generally slightly more expensive than untreated timber, the additional cost is small compared to the expense and disruption of replacing structural components damaged by termites. When you consider the protection and peace of mind it offers, T2-treated timber is a smart and cost-effective choice.
Services
At TrussTec, we specialise in precision-engineered timber solutions, delivering quality and reliability from design through to installation. Whether you’re a builder, developer, or homeowner, our experienced team supports every stage of your project with industry-leading service and dependable materials. All structural members are designed in-house, meaning every wall frame, truss, and posi-strut system is tailored to your exact project requirements. This approach ensures full confidence in the quality, compliance, and long-term performance of everything we supply.
Our pre-nailed wall frames are carefully designed and assembled using high-quality T2 Blue treated timber, engineered for strength, efficient installation, and full compliance with Australian building standards, helping you save both time and labour on-site. We also design and manufacture custom roof trusses to suit a wide range of roof shapes and load conditions. Using advanced software and strict quality control processes, our trusses deliver structural integrity, reduce waste, and speed up installation, while meeting relevant Australian Standards including AS1684 and AS1720.
Beyond manufacturing, we also keep your project moving with reliable delivery directly to site. Our own trucks are equipped with small unloading cranes, allowing our team to place frames and trusses safely and efficiently where they’re needed, even on tight or busy sites. This means fewer delays, less manual handling, and a smoother start to installation as soon as materials arrive.
To support planning and coordination, we provide comprehensive estimating and detailing services. Our estimators deliver accurate and timely quotes to help you budget with confidence, while our detailing team produces clear, code-compliant shop drawings that are easy to follow on site. Using the latest MiTek technology — including the MiTek Viewer app, which allows builders to view a 3D model of the structure on their own device — we significantly reduce miscommunication and minimise the margin for error. From initial concept to final installation, our team is with you every step of the way.
Certification and Standards
At TrussTec, quality and safety aren’t optional — they’re built into every product we manufacture. Our processes follow nationally recognised Australian Standards and industry best practices, ensuring every frame, truss, and structural component performs exactly as it should once installed on site. By working within these strict guidelines, we help protect builders, homeowners, and the long-term integrity of every structure we supply.
All of our structural designs are completed using certified MiTek engineering software and are checked against relevant Australian Standards, including AS1684 for residential timber framing and AS1720 for timber structures. This ensures our products are not only strong and fit for purpose, but also compliant with the requirements set by building authorities and inspectors. We maintain clear documentation for every project, giving builders confidence and traceability throughout the build process.
Our manufacturing facility operates under strict quality-control procedures. Each component is measured, assembled, and inspected to ensure accuracy before leaving our yard. We also work closely with our timber suppliers, who meet strict certification standards for sustainable forestry and material integrity, helping us guarantee consistency in both strength and durability.From design to delivery, our team understands that compliance isn’t just paperwork — it’s about building safely, responsibly, and professionally. By aligning with recognised standards and continually reviewing our processes, we make sure every TrussTec product you install meets the expectations of regulators, builders, and homeowners alike.

Sustainability
At TrussTec, sustainability is built into everything we do — from the timber we select to the way we design and deliver our products. Our commitment to responsible building means using renewable resources wisely, minimising waste, and supporting a cleaner, greener construction industry. Every home we help build using structural timber contributes to a lower carbon footprint, and the volume of timber used in an average Australian home takes just two and a half minutes to regrow in sustainably managed plantations.
We proudly source all of our timber locally, choosing materials grown specifically for Australian conditions. This not only supports local jobs and industries, but also reduces transport emissions and ensures the timber performs reliably in our climate. The timber we use is T2 Blue treated, providing long-lasting protection against termites while remaining safe for people, pets, and the environment.
Because all of our designs are completed in-house, we’re able to carefully optimise every frame, truss, and posi-strut so that each project uses only the material it truly needs. This approach reduces unnecessary waste and improves resource efficiency. We also utilise the MiTek Optimizer program — advanced technology that further minimises offcuts during production — ensuring smarter material use across every job.
Our commitment to timber goes beyond practicality. Timber is a renewable, carbon-positive building material that absorbs carbon from the atmosphere as it grows, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels instead of contributing to them like many traditional building materials. By choosing timber and designing responsibly, we’re helping build stronger homes and a more sustainable future.
