Is TimberSIL stronger than Treated wood, Composites, and Plastic Lumber?
One of the benefits of TimberSIL is its’ strength attributes. TimberSIL is actually up to 50% stronger than natural untreated wood, and up to 80% stronger than Traditional Treated wood products. Depending on the type of Composite being compared, TimberSIL is up to 12x’s stronger than the competition. Additionally, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has determined that TimberSIL Products fall under the jurisdiction of Southern Products Inspection Bureau (SPIB), Timber Products Inspection Bureau (TPIB), and Western Wood Councils. The USDA criterion is as follows: wood processes that do not degrade wood properties more than 10 % remain under the jurisdiction of the inspecting authorities of the wood being processed. The USDA requires testing for strength: (elasticity, rupture), and moisture, these tests have been performed on TimberSIL Products and results confirmed by third party labs. TimberSIL Products either do not degrade properties or improve properties; thus accordi
