Timber Treatment - Assurance

Pressure Treated Timber
Assured Performance

Tanalised" is one of the most recognised and well regarded brands in the wood preservation business. How this position has been achieved can be summarised in just one word - confidence. For wood preservatives, confidence in the performance and durability of the treated timber is paramount. Without that confidence, end users will look to alternative materials.

Why Fountain Timber use Tanalised

Unique timber protection
Only timber treated with Arch Timber Protection's unique Tanalith" E wood preservative carries the Tanalised" standard. Its increasing market share speaks volumes for how highly regarded Tanalith" E wood preservative is throughout our industry.

The success of Tanalith" E is built on detailed research into all aspects of its use: the potential for corrosion of treatment plants and metal fixings used with the treated wood; treatment of different species used in our markets; use of colour additives and water repellents; and most importantly of all, the durability of the treated timber, particularly in ground contact applications.

Tanalith" E wood preservative has been tested in more than 20 field sites around the world under a wide variety of conditions. In many countries field testing is essential in order to gain approval but, even in countries such as the UK, where products can he approved purely on the basis of results from laboratory tests, Arch continues to place reliance on independent field data as the most realistic assessment of the treated timber's long term performance.

Janet Brown, marketing manager of Arch Timber Protection commented "After more than 15 years of continued, commercial success for Tanalith" E, the Arch philosophy of long term field testing has proved to be vital in ensuring confidence in treated timber.

It is easy to introduce a new product and make various claims: it is more difficult to ensure that it meets all the market requirements and has the data information and track record to instil confidence in long term performance. I believe that with Tanalith" E wood preservative and Tanalised" pressure treated timber, the market can have that confidence."
