Yes, all of the wood we use for our flooring is carefully kiln dried to a moisture content of approximately 8% – 10%.
Kiln drying is a critical step in the production process, especially for reclaimed wood. It not only stabilizes the material—reducing the risk of excessive expansion, contraction, or warping after installation—but also ensures that the wood is properly conditioned. The controlled heat in the kiln eliminates any residual moisture, as well as insects, larvae, or eggs that may be present in reclaimed lumber.
This drying process helps prepare the wood for long-term performance in your home or business, making it suitable for a variety of environments with normal indoor humidity levels. Once kiln dried, the wood is further acclimated, milled, and inspected to meet our high standards of quality and consistency.
Whether you’re installing in a residential or commercial space, you can be confident that our kiln-dried reclaimed wood flooring is stable and ready for a lasting installation.
