Bobke,

So far I have only seen Timbersil - I have not used it.  After carefully examining it I still could not believe it was treated wood.  The wood looked quite natural.  It was available in number 1 and 2 grades.  It was not wet and was of excellent quality.  Since I am going to the NAHB show in Orlando in February, I plan to follow up on Timbersil.  I e-mailed them an enquiry about where to purchase Timbersil but have not heard back from them.

TimberSIL has been pretty dormant until 2 months ago.  Our new distribution partner nationwide is AIFP in Oregon, who has been setting up distributors on both coasts already.  Plant is moving to 24/7 operations and adding additional capacity to keep up with those sales.

TimberSIL can be painted and/or stained, but must be sanded well first.  Must use paint/sealer with good bonding characteristics, because the wood is no longer porous.  It has texture, but like wood that has already been sealed... with glass.

TimberSIL costs less than Composites but more than traditional Treated lumber. Also, Timbersil is Class-A fire rated as well and has a 40 year warranty (industry leading). Look for TimberSIL on Designing Spaces around Labor day. There are dealers set up in Penn., N.J., Vt., Sc., Me., Va., Nc., Il.

TimberSIL wood is now available in California.

 

TimberSIL California opened in mid March 2009, with our distribution center in Orange County. We have received  a phenomenal response from homeowners, contractors & architects alike. The California public is very excited to be able to build wood structures outside worry free from the threat of wildfires. Not to mention the termite problem we have here in Southern California.

In April TimberSIL wood was Approved by the California State Fire Marshal & listed on the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Products Handbook as an Ignition Resistant Building Material. This allows California  homeowners & builders in High Fire Zones to build with a wood product  that will withstand a forest fire while maintaining the beauty of wood.
