FraserWood RF Dry: The most consistently and evenly dried timber on the market. Maintain the structural integrity and beauty of exposed timbers for generations. When a plan calls for exposed timbers your customers will count on you to provide them with a product that will last a lifetime or two or three.
Ourproven drying process enables FraserWood RF Dry timbers to remain straight, stable and true long after installation. With its uniform moisture content and the resulting stability, FraserWood RF Dry has clear advantages.
Radio Frequency Vacuum Drying achieves what no other kiln drying method can. Radio Frequency Vacuum (RFV) Kiln Drying is used to dry the entire timber evenly, right down to its center. FraserWood RF Dry timbers remain straight, stable and true for years to come.
