Greatest freedoln from shrinkage starts ulith Redwood itself-

-but it takes these extra steps in the manufacture of PAIC0 Architectural Quality Redwood to hring out this natural advantage

Redwood has less shrinkage and swelling-greater dimensional stability than any other domestic commercial woodif it is properly dried. Drying down to about 28o/o moisture content merely removes free water in the wood cell cavities. The cell walls are still saturated.

Shrinkage starts at about 28% and continues until the point of equilibrium with air is reached. Air drying alone won't achieve this goal.

PALCO Certified Dry Redwood provides three e.rtra steps to assure proper humidity uniformly distributed through each board.

I Selective air drying up to 24 months according to green - weight, bringing nll lumber to a specified humidity range before it enters the kiln. (See example chart below).

! Controlled kiln drying, depending on condition and thickness, from 6 to 25 days at specified temperature progressively applied.

3 PALCO goes one step further...When the center of the - board approaches moisture equilibrium, surfaces are too dry, and would be distorted by re-absorbing moisture from air. PALCO Redwood is therefore left in the kiln for a final extra process to rebuild surface moisture to atmospheric equilibrium - producing the most stable lumber known. This is one of many premium PALCO features -at no extra premium in cost-and you know it will stay in place.
