Processes ( Facilities )

Kiln Drying
Because solid hardwood will always move with changes in moisture content, many problems related to exotic hardwood decking are caused by variations in humidity or moisture content. These changes in the moisture content of the wood can cause movement, shrinkage, expansion, gapping between boards, crackingand checking. Extreme changes in moisture can lift the finish right off the wood itself.

Therefore, careful kiln drying is one of the most important factors in producing the best possible solid decking products. Tropical woods generally have a higher density and require kiln drying techniques vastly different than the drying domestic temperate hardwoods. Our rough lumber blanks are air dried for a minimum of two months prior to kiln drying - this process slowly removes moisture from the wood to reduce defects. Proper air drying will bring the lumber moisture content down close to fiber saturation point, typically around 25% moisture content.

Ideally, when lumber enters the kilns the individual pieces are at approximately the same starting moisture content. The pre-drying or air drying process helps to achieve this ideal. We do not rush the drying process and the material goes through both equalization and conditioning steps to ensure the material has a uniform moisture content throughout each piece, thus minimize movement, shrinkage or expansion, and gapping.

Milling Quality
Our milling quality is the very best in the industry. This means our hardwood product will fit together perfectly, not too tight and not too loose. This will save time during the installation and help to prevent squeaks and pops during the life of your floor.

Premium Moulders Create a Consistent Fit
We use only the finest to mill our decking. This allows us to produce the smoothest possible finish with a minimum of knife marks and eliminates the typical chatter and tear out found in many hardwood decking products. Having the highest tolerances possible a more consistent fit for quicker installation.
