TimberSIL® wood employs a patented heating process that removes moisture
during the process—not after. TimberSIL® does not use a re drying process like
other manufacturers. The TimberSIL® process removes unnecessary water
from the product during the process, so it won’t come out later resulting in
shrinkage. TimberSIL® is effectively pre-shrunk, becoming more dimensionally
stable and stronger—especially as a result of the patented, wood-glass matrix
manufacturing process.
The unique technology that produces TimberSIL® wood lumber, and the
reduction to 19% moisture content, ensures that products will undergo limited
dimensional changes, shrinkage or warpage after installation.
TimberSIL® wood products are produced under controlled conditions, and will have the opportunity to stabilize before final inspection and packaging. In the TimberSIL® manufacturing process, an advanced technology is employed that creates the permanent protection in the wood and causes the wood to dry uniformly.
