Step 1

Our slabs have been thoroughly put to dry with our Wood NTLE L 200 Dehumidification Kiln, Meet or exceeds 100% of Industrial standards. the drying process is sped up and the heat is applied slot raising the temp to 12” to 125 Fahrenheit. As heat is applied dehumidifiers are used to remove the moisture. thoroughly

Step 2

The Kiln has 8 large fans which is used to circulate the heat and air throughout the kiln to help ensure that the wood dries evenly, and the process doesn’t introduce any internal tension in the wood and also kills insects, eggs, mold, and fungi. This process can take a couple of days, depending on the species of the wood at the end of the process 6% moisture content is left in the wood.

Step 3

We closely monitor and rate the drying process. This way they don’t dry faster then the center and cause sever cracking until the wood is ready for use. Then we stored the wood indoors away from moisture. Kiln-dried wood is also stronger when they are pre-finished especially when applied to your finished work such as staining it penetrates deeper into the wood making it last longer
