Benefits of Carcassing Timber

Our Timber is kiln dried and treated to last longer, thanks to the manufacturing process, where the temperature and humidity are controlled, during the kiln drying process, which allows the timber to dry consistently, leading to a more uniform wood board. This type of production ensures the longest lifetime possible, here are some benefits:

• The timber is lighter and stronger
• The risk of timber shrinkage is reduced
• Less chance of fungus
• Less chance of splits, bowing, and fissures
