Mid-Atlantic wholesale distributor Landmark Lumber Group, New Freedom, Pa., has added DAT dimensional lumber to its product offering.

DAT means Dried After Treatment. This manufacturing process includes pressure treating with a XXX solution meeting the UC4A/B ground contact standard, then drying in a lower heat longer timeframe environment to an average 19% moisture content. This process reduces checking, cracking, and warping of boards. In addition, Landmark’s DAT product will be offered in #1 Premium and Clear (C&Better) grades ensuring high workability so it can be easily milled, sanded, and stained immediately—no drying time needed.

“We added this product line to serve the needs of our retailers, and outdoor structure and decking manufacturers,” stated Craig Constable, Landmark VP of sales. “Its high grade quality and low and slow drying technique delivers better workability and higher stability than standard pressure treated lumber and at a great price too!”

Landmark’s DAT Dimensional Lumber offering will consist of 2”x4”-10” lumber, 5/4x6” E4E deck boards, and 4x4 timbers. These products will be stocked at the New Freedom facility beginning November 15, 2024, and will be available in convenient half-size packs.

Landmark Lumber Group offers a wide range of high-quality hardwood, softwood, thermally modified lumber, and stair parts to craftsmen, manufacturers, millworks and retailers. With the merger of Mann & Parker Lumber and Specialty Lumber Co., Landmark Lumber Group has emerged as the full-service lumber supplier with unmatched experience and service capabilities in the region.

The Landmark Hardwood Division buys, dries and surfaces coveted Pennsylvania hardwood sourced from independent mills throughout the Appalachian region, as well as imported exotic hardwood. The Landmark Softwood Division supplies all grades of domestic and imported sotiwood, ranging in quality from industrial to select. Their long-standing mill relationships enable large quantity sourcing of various types of pine, fir, cedar and cypress including some of the finest softwood in the U.S. Landmark Lumber Group is located on a 27-acre campus in New Freedom.
