Kiln dried plywood, or “Dri-Ply” as trademarked by Wayne’s Lumber, is plywood that goes through a mechanical process to extract moisture from the plywood in a kiln after its treated. According to Wayne's Lumber, a top lumber store in Kaneohe, HI, not only does it boast exceptional resistance to moisture and mold, but it is also lightweight and, thus, easy to install.

Top Benefits of Kiln Dried Plywood

1. Lightweight

As mentioned, Dri-Ply has the moisture extracted out of it when put in a kiln. This leads to the product being lighter and easier to work with. As a result, contractors can save on labor costs as the job will move by quickly. The difference in weight can be up to 50 pounds lighter depending on the plywood purchased!

2. Mold & Mildew Resistant

Dri-Ply resists the growth of mold and mildew. When mold is allowed to grow, you may experience coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing. Avoid these side effects by choosing kiln dried plywood. 

3. Minimalized Warping & Swelling

Dri-Ply has low moisture content which minimizes the warping and swelling of the product. Swelling of the product can be caused when exposed to too much water or moisture. The kiln drying process reduces the chances of product warping since the drying process keeps the moisture content low.
