Kiln Dried Hardwood
Built for Permanence – Premium Kiln-Dried Hardwood for Superior Strength & Minimal Movement
Invest in timber that stands the test of time. At Barwon Timber, our premium kiln-dried hardwood represents the pinnacle of stability, strength, and durability. Through a carefully controlled kiln-drying process, we achieve optimal moisture content, resulting in timber that resists warping, shrinking, and movement after installation. This ensures your projects, from structural framing to bespoke furniture, maintain their integrity and beauty for generations, backed by the natural resilience that only quality hardwood can provide.
Why Choose Kiln-Dried Hardwood
Superior Stability and Reduced Movement: The kiln-drying process removes the vast majority of moisture from the wood's cells, dramatically minimising future shrinking, swelling, warping, and checking.
Enhanced Strength and Durability: Drying the wood increases its stiffness and hardness, resulting in a stronger, more resilient timber that is less prone to dents and damage.
Prevention of Mould, Fungus, and Insect Infestation: The low moisture content creates an environment that is inhospitable to wood-destroying organisms like mould, decay fungi, and wood-boring insects.
Improved Workability and Finishing: Kiln-dried wood is easier to cut, shape, and sand, resulting in a smoother finish. It also accepts stains, paints, and adhesives more evenly and effectively than green or air-dried timber.
