Timbersil – Green Wood is Good

Have you ever looked into the toxic metals and material that go into some pressure treated lumber? If so, you have reason to be concerned, and so is a company called TimberSIL that was created by environmental scientist Karen Slimak. According to Karen, TimberSIL not only replaces the hazardous copper, chromium, and arsenic-based preservatives that were used in the past, but it also outperforms them in the areas of leaching, corrosion, and mold & mildew resistance. TimberSIL is non-toxic, fire retardant, stainable/paintable and contains no heavy metals. You don’t want heavy metal in your wood anyway, do you? Insert 80’s big hair, heavy metal band “Poison” joke here. Wood treated with TimberSIL is supposed to be cost competitive as well. TimberSIL was just written up in This Old House magazine, so you may want to wait a bit before contacting them for more info or purchasing. In the meantime, you can learn more at TimberSIL.com
