TimberSIL® is well known for its Class-A Fire Rated Glass-Wood Decking, known on the West Coast as “wood won’t burn”, but TimberSIL® processes much more than just deck boards. TimberSIL® processed Glass-Wood is available in most dimensional lumber sizes, such as 1×4, 1×6, 2×4 to 2×12, 4×4 to 4×12… up to 12×12 in lengths 8-20ft.

Non-Toxic TimberSIL® Poles and Piling are also available up to 30ft that can be used for marine applications in place of the environmental harmful treated wood poles and pilings currently installed. To protect the wood fibers from being eaten by insects and fungi, Treated Wood, for years, have used toxic chemicals and heavy metal that leach out into the water . TimberSIL® Glass-Wood is put through a patented process that uses a non-toxic glass formula to protect the wood fibers. TimberSIL® is the only wood protection process to ever receive the EPA’s approval as a Non-Toxic Barrier against insects.

Fire Resistant “Wood” Heads West

Safe, Eco-Friendly, Treated Wood Tests Off State Fire Marshal’s Charts

Monday, November 9, 2009

By Rebecca Bachman

Considering Santa Barbara’s remarkable susceptibility to wildfires and the resultant destruction of hundreds of homes in recent years, we seem to have two options: move ASAP, or fireproof our lives. Remarkably, the latter of these options may not be as impossible as it sounds. The growing popularity and geographical spread of TimberSIL, which is being advertised as the most fire-resistant treated-wood product to date, may just be exactly what it takes for Santa Barbarans to fear not the fire….

November 20, 2009 at 5:02 pm · Filed under Glass Infused Wood

Boxing in the eaves. This new 9000 square foot custom home, built in Southern California, used TimberSIL® glass-wood 1×4 tongue & groove to achieve the fire resistance required by the San Diego County fire code. The San Diego area has been hit especially hard by wildfires in recent years and now has some of the toughest fire regulations in the nation. TimberSIL® glass-wood, “wood won’t burn”, not only meets the new “Ignition Resistant” requirement, TimberSIL® also protects from insect and rot damage, making it the perfect long lasting choice.

TimberSIL® Hollywood Pool Deck

October 28, 2009 at 5:02 pm · Filed under Glass Infused Wood

The new W Hotel Roof-Top Pool Deck. The entire substructure was built with TimberSIL® glass-wood, mostly 2×8 and 4×4’s. The deck surface will be covered in the Brazilian Hardwood, Epi. Originally the entire deck, substructure and all was slated to be built out of the Epi wood, the deck was required to be built entirely out of class-A fire retardant material. The high price of Epi wood and difficulty to work with it, lead them to TimberSIL® as an alternative. As you can see it looks great, the new W Hotel in Hollywood is scheduled to open in late December 2009.
