At Woodtech, we offer vacuum kiln services to help you dry your wet timber and rough cut lumber. Vacuum kilns are the fastest and most efficient way to dry wood, and they offer a number of other benefits as well.
Here are just a few of the benefits of using a vacuum kiln:
Faster drying times: Vacuum kilns can dry wood in as little as a few days, compared to weeks or even months for traditional air drying methods. This means you can get your wood ready to use sooner, and improve your workflow.
More uniform drying: Vacuum kilns dry wood evenly throughout, which helps to reduce defects such as checking, splitting, and warping. This results in higher quality wood that is more suitable for a variety of woodworking projects.
Better color retention: Vacuum kilns dry wood at lower temperatures, which helps to preserve the wood's natural color and appearance. This is especially important for light-colored woods, such as maple and ash.
Reduced energy costs: Vacuum kilns are more energy-efficient than traditional air drying methods. This means you can save money on your energy bills, while also reducing your environmental impact.
