TimberSIL® is a non-toxic fusion of two natural materials, wood and glass. It is a natural product and a permanent combination of properties. By inserting a glass matrix around and within the wood fibers TimberSIL® offers the beauty of wood.
The character of wood stems from the grain patterns, a sprinkling of knots, color variations, and minor imperfections that combine to form the unique character of each piece.

Applications can be interior construction, indoor and outdoor furniture, decking and outdoor structural framing.
