Additional Information
The CLEAR re-dried boards are for customers wanting a nicer face and more stability for handrails and furniture.
These boards are below-ground treated, providing extra protection for your project. Boards can be used above-ground, at ground contact or below ground.
Re-dried after being treated, called KDAT, brings the moisture rate down to 19% for more strength and stability. Boards can be stained or primed and painted immediately.
Re-dried boards after treatment provides:
- No delay before staining or coating as the wood can be painted or coated immediately without waiting since it is already dry.
- Helps reduce cupping, twisting and warping by allowing the boards to dry and ultimately shrink in a controlled environment
- Greater nail and fastener holding power as the dry treated process allows the boards to hold tighter and stay tighter.
- Cleaner and lighter in weight since the drying process eliminates the moisture thus reducing the weight of the boards, making them lighter and easier to handle.
- Environmentally sound as the re-drying assures immediate and maximum preservation fixation within the wood, providing a safer, cleaner and environmentally sound product.
