Benefits of Dri-Ply
Kiln drying is a mechanical means of extracting the excess water from treated plywood which makes it an average of 30% lighter. There are many positive benefits of using kiln-dried material:
Easy installation. The kiln drying process makes the plywood lighter, which makes it quicker and easier to install.
Resists mold and mildew. The kiln drying process removes the moisture, effectively preventing mold growth.
Stays straight which minimizes warping and twisting.
Currently, Wayne’s Lumber is the only vendor in Hawaii carrying a significant amount of kiln dried treated plywood products and the only vendor with the Dri-Ply™ trademark.
