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.
