Timber & Wood drying methods Notes
Air-Drying Timber -This is a method of drying timber by exposing it to natural conditions. As such
there is no control over drying rate as this will be determined by the weather conditions , which will vary considerably throughout the year. The average time for timber to dry using this method is 5 weeks.
Kiln-Drying Timber -This is a method of using heat via steam that is involved through a tube to reduce the moisture content of the timber by using heat to heat it so that the water evaporates from the wood, some companys have also tryed reducing atsmospheric pressure in order to speed up this process.
