Titan Timbers are manufactured in a climate controlled environment. The process starts with the proper selection of lumber to be used in our product. The treated lumber that is used in the lower part of the column is Southern Yellow Pine #1 pressure treated to .60 CCA and Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) to 15% or less. Having the proper moisture content is critical to good adhesive bonding in the glue line AND greatly reduces the tendency of the lumber to warp, shrink, twist and cup which it would normally do if left to dry while in use. This gives Titan Timbers dimensional stability that solid sawn timber and mechanically nailed columns don't have.

Each piece that makes up a Titan Timber will get planed to open up the wood cells so they will accept the phenol resorcinol glue. This produces an even surface on each side of the lumber for a complete wood to wood bond. Finger jointing the lumber allows us to manufacture timbers up to 64' with continuous plys and no butt joints.

The plys are then face glued and put into presses where they will be squeezed under pressure to make up either columns or beams. After the appropriate drying time, the product will be removed from the presses and put through a planer that will clean off the glue and make for a square timber with a true dimension.
