What is KDAT Lumber?
KDAT stands for Kiln-Dried After Treatment. This type of wood is pressure-treated to resist rot and insects, then dried in a kiln to remove extra moisture. That means it's more stable, easier to work with, and ready to stain or seal sooner than regular treated wood.
Why KDAT Lumber?
-
More Stable – KDAT lumber is dried in a kiln after it's treated, which helps reduce warping, twisting, and shrinking.
-
Less Waiting Time – You don’t have to wait weeks for the wood to dry before staining or sealing. It’s ready much sooner.
-
Smoother Finish – The drying process leaves the wood cleaner and smoother, which makes it easier to cut, drill, and work with.
-
Lighter Weight – Because the moisture is removed, KDAT boards are lighter and easier to handle on the job site.
-
Longer Lasting – It holds its shape and looks better for years, making your deck or project stronger and more reliable.
-
Better for Building – Contractors and DIYers love KDAT for faster, cleaner installs and fewer callbacks due to warped boards.
-
While KDAT Lumber has many benefits over other options, please keep in mind that it is still wood and will eventually show the usual wear signs.
