Longest life cycle building material:
There is no known end to the useful life of TimberSIL®. The life is as long as glass, and subject to wear patterns, much like stone.
Sustainable:
TimberSIL® is extremely long lasting. The amorphous glass in TimberSIL® imparts the extraordinary long life of glass to wood, as it surrounds and encases the fibers, inside and out; forming a protective glassy barrier that keeps organisms and air away from wood.
Many reuses, many recycles replacing other materials :
One purchase of TimberSIL® Products replaces many CO 2 emitting products throughout its long life. TimberSIL® can proceed through multiple applications, as it is reused through multiple cycles in increasingly smaller pieces:
As a TimberSIL® product proceeds through these reuse cycles, TimberSIL® retains its Glass Wood properties as a Class A fire retardant, its strength, its stability, i.e., all its beneficial features. TimberSIL® Products, intact, are merely incorporated intact, directly into other materials, without any need to recreate their properties.
TimberSIL® Causes No future increase in CO 2 emissions . As TimberSIL® moves through its use cycles, it does NOT gradually breakdown and return carbon dioxide to the environment. The permanent sequestration continues.
