| Arbor only use Kiln Dried(KD) lumber for interior stud walls. They're much more expensive, but well worth it! The kiln drying process removes the water from the wood and closes the cells from future saturation. High quality wood like this eliminates the twisting and turning from boards that dry out while in the wall, which causes nail pops in the sheetrock and other finish work issues due to shrinkage. Most other builders cut corners by not using KD lumber! |
