Sustainable lumber can shape a brighter future, promoting eco-friendly solutions and responsible building for generations to come.
Lumber manufacturing varies globally based on wood species, regional sizing, grading standards, and environmental regulations. Key regional differences shape how logs are processed into usable lumber. Whether it is a highly automated mill focusing on yield and precision or a more traditional mill focusing on volume and speed, they all start by debarking the logs, followed by sawing, green sorting (also dimension sorting), drying, grading (also dry sorting), and finally packaging. Further processing from e.g. planing to painting, thermal modification is an add-on to raw lumber manufacturing.
