Heat treatment may be requested for particular timber applications, especially when a buyer has a defined process or documentation requirement. It should not be assumed simply because timber is kiln-dried.
A commercial inquiry should state clearly whether heat treatment is required, alongside species, dimensions, moisture condition, quantity and application. Any documentation expectation should also be discussed before an order is confirmed.
Because requirements can vary by application and destination, treatment details should be confirmed in the final commercial specification and supporting shipment documents where applicable.
