Quality wood
for construction

Wood processed in sawmills, in France, is used for multiple purposes, for construction and the development of frames and battens but also for carpentry, insulation, formwork or packaging. The sawmill employee strives to sort based on many criteria. The quality of the wood is appreciated upon the arrival of the logs. The products are treated for several weeks using an elaborate computerized system.

The properties of wood
WOOD ACCORDING TO ITS PROPERTIES

Wood, regardless of the variety, is treated by a forestry sector committed to the environment. Higher quality species are generally used for the personalized creation of furniture and floors or any other creations requiring timber. The realization of frames, a framework and other supporting structures, battens, solid rafters and beams. Less robust wood is either dedicated to the manufacture of packaging or intended for formwork boards. The choice depends on the species, properties and desired dimensions or the type of insulation planned. Precise knowledge is necessary to determine the drying time and the type of packaging. Sawmill employees have the knowledge to immediately recognize a log strong enough for the manufacture of building frames and an ideal log for the development of packaging or tools.

The material for frame and structure
THE PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR A FRAME AND ITS INSULATION

Custom-made products made in France and intended for the construction of frames and structures for industrial buildings, buildings or dwellings are always robust to match the know-how of the craftsman. The frame supports not only the tiles or other roofing materials but also a high-performance insulation system to avoid heat loss through the roof. The demand from craftsmen is always precise for more effective protection according to the region and temperatures. Any frame is designed according to certain dimensions and according to the needs of the construction. The specialist must know how to favor good storage conditions taking into account the drying time and the species. To keep walls healthy, to rationalize its layout, the simplest thing is to have your project studied at all levels, whether it is the treatment of the fir covering of a house, the installation of fir or Douglas fir panels, work with timber and cladding, covering a terrace with prices and quantities.

Once laid, the beams, battens and other framing elements for flat or sloping roofs must not work more than reason to guarantee a solid structure. Transported by machines, sometimes lifted by cranes, they must remain in perfect condition. At the same time, the dimensions of the boards and beams must be strictly respected.
