Scierie Mendoza,
Oak is our specialty
The frames
There are many uses for oak structural timber: interior or exterior construction, renovation… For the framework of traditional or timber-framed houses, oak is the ideal species, thanks to its great strength and resistance to the vagaries of the weather. The MENDOZA sawmill offers several grades of oak framework, selected and processed on site, and sold freshly sawn or kiln-dried.

The studs
Oak planks are mainly sawn from the butt logs, into boards of a single thickness, and then reconstituted. All planks come from the same tree, ensuring perfect homogeneity of color and grain.
Our sawmill stocks a wide range of wood thicknesses and qualities, both air-dried and kiln-dried.
