Kiln drying is a process used to reduce the moisture content in wood. This is done by placing the wood in a large, heated chamber called a kiln. The controlled heat and airflow help evaporate moisture, making the wood less prone to warping, cracking, or developing mold. The benefits of kiln drying include improved stability and durability of the wood, making it suitable for various applications like furniture and construction. Additionally, kiln-dried wood can be more easily treated for pests, ensuring a longer lifespan for the finished products.
