Non-Corrosive

The glassy layers TimberSIL® wood do not contribute to any corrosion process. No special fasteners are required nor recommended for TimberSIL® wood products. This, plus the lighter weight, greatly reduces installation costs, and represents a strong advantage for TimberSIL® products.

Both wood and glass portions of TimberSIL® provide protection from corrosion. There is no need for special hangers or fasteners. Consumers can use everyday, ordinary exterior grade connectors and fasteners.

Remember:
If the fasteners used in the construction of a structure fail, then the structure fails. In other products, certain toxic, corrosive chemicals continuing to be used may create a situation where failure could occur. Fasteners hold fast and stay tight in TimberSIL® wood products. Since TimberSIL® is a stronger, more stable product—not moving around like wet products, fasteners stay tighter. A wet, shrinking board reduces the holding strength of any fastener.
