Purchase of rough lumber

"To make a beautiful floor, start with beautiful wood."

As the first step in producing hardwood flooring, the purchase of rough lumber is about one essential thing: quality. By establishing a strong partnership with sawmills, we ensure the supply of lumber of consistent quality. Our suppliers know our requirements and send us exactly what we're looking for.

Procurement process

	1. The purchase order is prepared and sent to the supplier 2. On arrival, the merchandise is identified and entered in our inventory
3. The lumber is then inspected by experienced NHLA (National Hardwood Lumber Association)-certified graders. The lumber must meet the association's standards and established yield criteria. 4. Once the shipment has been inspected and approved, it is ready for the next step: sorting.

Responsible environmental management

Boa-Franc is an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified manufacturer. The wood we use in manufacturing our products comes from producers who care about responsible and sustainable forest management.

North American wood species are sourced in Eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States. Exotic species are imported from South America and Africa and are strictly monitored. Every shipment of exotic wood must be accompanied by official documents issued by the authorities of the exporting country.
