The KDAT Process

Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) is a process that involves drying pressure-treated wood in a kiln to remove excess moisture and chemicals. The drying process helps to minimize the natural tendency of wood to warp, cup, and shrink. KDAT wood is also lighter than "wet" or "green" treated lumber and can be painted, stained, or sealed immediately.
