Drying Chamber

We have been traveling houndreds of kilometers to find the wood that is appropriate to achieve this goal. We combined modern technologies of wood processing with uniqueness of this "natural resource". Processes which take place in drying chambers are automatic and computer controlled to exclude the possibility of staying worms and insects inside of this wood.

Drying Chamber - FAQ

How long does the drying process take?

The duration depends on the type and thickness of the wood. It can take many days, weeks, or even months to reach optimal parameters for a specific species.

Why is wood dried?

Drying effectively removes insects and pests while reducing moisture content. This is essential for further specialized processing, such as gluing or precision crafting.

Does drying prevent wood deformation?

Yes, a proper drying process minimizes the risk of cracking, warping, and "working" of the wood after it has been installed in its final location.

What wood humidity is best for interiors?

For indoor elements like furniture or wall panels, we aim for a moisture content of approximately 8-12% to ensure stability in home environments.

Does thermal drying eliminate pests?

Yes, the high temperatures used in drying kilns guarantee full sterilization of the material, eliminating larvae and adult insects living in the wood.
