Drying of wood

The drying of wood is a crucial operation in order to put on the market wood of homogeneous quality and to limit the risk of the appearance of numerous pathologies (fungi, moulds, cracks, deformations, discolorations...) associated with a poor control of the moisture content of the material. Poor drying or poor conditioning can block the marketing of wood and give rise to serious disputes.
