Moisture Mapping is a crucial process in wood treatment. It involves determining the moisture content of wood to ensure it is suitable for treatment and will not deteriorate in the future.
Wood moisture content refers to the amount of water present in the wood. When wood is wet, it swells, making it susceptible to rot and other problems. Conversely, when wood is too dry, it shrinks, leading to cracking and deformation.
The preferred moisture content for treating wood varies depending on the treatment to be applied. However, as a general rule, it is recommended to treat wood when it is between 6-12% moisture content.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your wood is properly treated and will last for many years to come.
