Decors can change with the whims and vagaries of fashion but the bones of a new home, its wooden structure, have to last the distance as interior designs come and go.

Koppers Arch Tanalised® C technology greatly extends the life of today's construction timbers by intensifying the wood's own natural defences, says marketing manager Peter Carruthers.

The contemporary home featured on these pages was constructed by Andrew Brown Construction. Although its interior doesn't emphasise wood, the underlying structure is built from Tanalised treated timber.

"Often it's what you don't see that can make all the difference to the life of a building," says Brown. "We used Tanalised treated timber here to ensure the structural framework and wood finishes wouldn't deteriorate under the presence of moisture. For the small extra outlay, the payback in terms of future-proofing is significant."

Tanalised products have a distinctive diamond-shaped logo, and are available in several different treatments, all with the Tanalised guarantee. The guarantees range from 25 years for interior timbers to 50 years for heavy-duty in-ground posts.

Treated wood products with Tanalised protection are available from many pro-ducers and suppliers throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia, the Pacific islands and South Africa.
