Important information
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry
spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain
there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with
certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing over the
building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
