Artificial wood drying is a process carried out in special automated dryers; otherwise, called kilns. There are various types of kilns: electric, steam, centrifugal, vacuum, and so on. All drying ways are based on the ability of the air to absorb moisture.
During the artificial or ‘oven’ drying process, the temperature is increased to help the susceptibility of the humidity in the air process. This helps to effectively reduce the moisture level in wood to a man made level, i.e., to the level that will eliminate the many worries that excess moisture can bring about. These concerns include warping, poor absorbency of paint, antiseptics, and glue. Additionally, wet wood is significantly heavier than dried wood.
It should be noted that even when wood is dried in kilns and the desirable moisture level is reached, the moisture amount of the wood may still change after drying at any point during the process of transportation, construction, storage, or installation. The amount of extra moisture decreases in dry surroundings and the low amount of moisture increases in humid surroundings. That can change the wood moisture amounts and result in undesirable consequences such as already installed wood panelling on a facade begins to shrink or swell damaging the entire face of the house facade. Therefore, after receiving it, it is very important to allow dried wood to acclimatize to its new surroundings before working with it.
