Heat Treated Industrial Lumber Product Overview
Features & Benefits
- Heat treated industrial lumber undergoes a controlled thermal modification process that significantly improves its durability and dimensional stability without the use of harsh chemicals. This chemical-free treatment is an eco-friendly approach that enhances the wood’s natural properties. The heat treatment also effectively sterilizes the wood, which is a mandatory requirement for international shipping, making it the ideal choice for pallets, crating, and other packaging materials used in global trade.
