Mid-Atlantic wholesale distributor Landmark Lumber Group, New Freedom, Pa., has added DAT dimensional lumber to its product offering.
DAT means Dried After Treatment. This manufacturing process includes pressure treating with a XXX solution meeting the UC4A/B ground contact standard, then drying in a lower heat longer timeframe environment to an average 19% moisture content. This process reduces checking, cracking, and warping of boards. In addition, Landmark’s DAT product will be offered in #1 Premium and Clear (C&Better) grades ensuring high workability so it can be easily milled, sanded, and stained immediately—no drying time needed.
“We added this product line to serve the needs of our retailers, and outdoor structure and decking manufacturers,” stated Craig Constable, Landmark VP of sales. “Its high grade quality and low and slow drying technique delivers better workability and higher stability than standard pressure treated lumber and at a great price too!”
Landmark’s DAT Dimensional Lumber offering will consist of 2”x4”-10” lumber, 5/4x6” E4E deck boards, and 4x4 timbers. These products will be stocked at the New Freedom facility beginning November 15, 2024, and will be available in convenient half-size packs.
