Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Feb 27, 2013 1:17 pm I am reno'ing a bathroom and have cut a 600mm long slot in the slab to get access to old drain from new. Question is do i need to termite proof this slot with termimesh or some other product. I plan to waterproof floor and walls with a paint on membrane. Thanks in advance for advise, Cheers, Andy Re: Termite proof cut in slab to move drain 2Feb 27, 2013 2:16 pm You should, and 75mm of Granitgard should do it, I think you can purchase a bag directly.
