TimberSIL® wood/glass fusion products are exceptionally strong, resistant to fire, and durable, in addition to providing an effective barrier that is resistant to rot, decay and common wood problems.
A key feature of TimberSIL®’s patented technology is insolubility. TimberSIL®’s glassy matrix will not dissolve in water, no matter how long it is soaked, no matter how long it is exposed to the elements.
