Finger-Jointed
Solid Wood
Our Finger-Jointed Solid Wood (BMA) is assembled using a self-locking technique. This produces homogeneous products perfectly suited for structural applications. Our BMA thus combines the traditional look of solid wood with controlled performance, both in construction and prefabrication.

Structural use
Our Finger-Jointed Solid Wood
BMA provides long, consistent pieces adapted to modern structural requirements.
We manufacture finger-jointed timber with rectangular or square sections using a glued finger-jointing process.
AVAILABLE SPECIES:
Douglas fir
Spruce
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Available lengths 13m
Planed 4 sides with chamfered edges
Mechanical strength class: C24
Wood from sustainably managed forests (PEFC certification)
Heights: 80 to 240 mm
Bonding with MUF-type adhesive, compliant with EN 301
Thicknesses: 45 to 120 mm
Framing & walls
BMA is commonly used for wall framing, in new builds as well as extensions or renovations.
Applications: BMA timber frame walls, vertical framing, studs and rails.
Purlins & rafters
Thanks to their long spans, BMA effectively replaces solid purlins and rafters.
Applications: purlins, rafters, roofing elements.
Prefabricated beams
BMA is widely used in prefabrication workshops, particularly for I-beam flanges or prefabricated structural elements.
Applications: I-beam flanges, structural modules, prefabricated panels.
