Sanding CLT Enhances the final product in several ways. ------------------------ Surface Smoothness:? Sanding helps achieve a smooth surface finish, which is essential for aesthetic purposes. A smooth surface is more visually appealing and can enhance the overall look of the finished structure. Adhesion: A well-sanded surface improves the adhesion of finishes, paints, or stains. This is crucial for protecting the wood from moisture and UV damage and extending its lifespan. Uniformity: Sanding can help create a more uniform thickness and surface texture across the panels, essential for ensuring consistent performance in construction applications. Removal of Imperfections: Sanding can eliminate minor surface imperfections, such as rough spots, splinters, or glue residue, that can affect the CLT's appearance and performance. Preparation for Assembly: A smooth, well-prepared surface can facilitate a more straightforward and precise assembly of CLT panels, leading to better structural integrity and alignment in the final construction. Enhanced Performance: Sanding can improve surface quality and contribute to the overall performance characteristics of the CLT, such as improved moisture resistance and reduced risk of surface checking. ---------------- Overall, sanding is essential in processing CLT, contributing to the final product's aesthetic and functional qualities.
