FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — EVRO PALLET

Lumber is a wood product obtained by sawing logs into boards, beams, or battens with specified dimensions and shapes.

Key categories: edged, unedged, planed, calibrated, glued, and special types (thermo‑treated, antiseptic‑treated).

Edged boards have straight, parallel edges for easier installation. Unedged boards retain part of the bark and natural contour, often used for rough work.

Drying. Proper moisture reduction prevents cracks, warping, and biological damage.

A process of removing moisture in a controlled chamber with regulated temperature and humidity, reducing wood moisture to 8–14%.

It protects wood from fungi, mold, and insects, extending product lifespan.

Heating wood to 160–220 °C in an oxygen‑free environment, improving moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and decay resistance.

Using a moisture meter or laboratory weighing method. For construction, 12–14% is optimal.

Causes: improper or too rapid drying, sudden humidity changes, or internal stresses in the wood.

Pine, spruce, larch, oak, birch. Conifers are used for structures, hardwoods for finishing and furniture.

Classification by surface quality and defects: from top grade (no knots or cracks) to third grade (with permissible defects).

Wood from northern regions is denser and more durable due to slow growth and narrow annual rings.

Beams that are planed and sanded to precise dimensions, simplifying installation and improving appearance.

Yes, but only under a canopy with ventilation and protection from direct precipitation to prevent warping and mold.

It has more stable geometry, fewer cracks, higher strength, and allows use of defect‑free wood layers.

The reduction in size as moisture is lost. Shrinkage can be radial, tangential, or longitudinal — important in design.

Use dry wood, store in ventilated conditions, and apply protective treatments.

A finishing material with improved geometry, deep tongue‑and‑groove joints, and ventilation grooves on the back.

Inspect straightness, absence of blue stain, mold, large cracks, and measure moisture with a meter.
