| White Mountain Log Homes - All about Kuhns Bros. Kiln Drying |
| Lakeside Brookside Canyon Falls Keystone Cheasapeake |
The process of kiln-drying removes and
controls the excess amount of moisture in
the wood products used to build your home,
so our logs are lighter and easier to handle.
The wood must be conditioned to the
moisture content it will assume in the
months and years after construction -
otherwise it will tend to shrink and twist.
Our logs, beams and purlins are kiln-dried
to an average moisture content of less than
19 percent graded by certified inspectors to
meet or exceed Log Home Council
standards and backed by a Lifetime
Warranty.
We invite you to get a first-hand look at this
process by attending a Construction
Workshop

Most manufacturers provide "air-dried" logs
which are seasoned by simply storing them for a
period of time. The moisture content of these logs
is not specified or guaranteed. We believe that kiln
drying produces more stable and uniform building
products and is the best way to eliminate potential
long-term problems with your home.
Kiln Drying Benefits:
• Shrinking/Twisting of logs is minimized; logs
are preshrunk before milling and grading by
trained inspectors. Doors and windows don't bind,
and frequent caulking is not required.
• Checking (cracking) is minimized by careful
drying of the logs before milling. Kiln drying
allows defective logs to be graded out prior to
shipment.
• Insects, their eggs and larva are killed by kiln-
drying.
• Pitch is crystallized which greatly minimizes any
seepage to the surface later on.
• Preservatives/Finishes can be applied
immediately after construction; they absorb
deeper and last longer for a more effective
treatment.
• Weight of the logs is greatly reduced; more than
10,000 lbs. of water are removed for the typical
home package, and the longest logs are easily
handled by two people.
