[CabinetStructuralist]: Termite resistance depends on both the substrate and installation. Aluminium offers complete immunity. Marine plywood with factory treatment performs well when isolated from damp walls. Avoid direct floor contact, provide ventilation gaps, seal service penetrations, and inspect plumbing regularly because termites are attracted by moisture before wood.
