Lasting effects eco-friendly timber treatment by Churton Pacific

Timber is a natural, durable building material, but it needs to be treated well to bring out the beauty of its grain and to ensure it will last for many years.

CD50 Liquid Art from Churton Pacific is an environmentally friendly, oil-based product formulated to provide such protection. The product is not simply decorative it penetrates deep into the timber, helping protect it against warping, cupping and splitting. And because it contains a safe preservative, copper quinolinolate, it also protects against mould, fungi and rot-causing bacteria.

Architect Alan Seelye, of Stephenson & Turner Architects and winner of the 2010 NZ Wood Timber Design Awards: Residential Architectural Excellence Award, endorses CD50.

"CD50 Liquid Art gave the wood the look, feel and protection I was seeking. I will specify it again for similar situations and environments."

Architect Jess Paterson from JPA Ltd works closely with Geraldine-based firm Natural Log Homes. She says she has been specifying CD50 for the past six years.

"It has proved to be invaluable. The product, which comes in a huge variety of colours, gives our untreated log work the 50-year durability needed to meet building code requirements."
