About BL-Bois
BL-Bois Sàrl is a sawmill with timber trading in Icogne in the canton of Valais, around ten minutes from Crans-Montana. The company processes spruce (Épicéa) and larch (Mélèze) into solid wood products such as squared timbers, profiled boards, beams, construction and formwork timber as well as façade and terrace decking. The value chain includes sawing the roundwood logs on a vertical bandsaw, four-side planing and profiling (R+C), brushing to emphasise the grain, vacuum drying and delivery by truck with loading crane. In addition, various panels, reclaimed wood, parquet, doors and treated surfaces (vapo-traité) are offered. Numerous products carry the COBS label (origin certificate for Swiss wood) or the Bois Suisse label. A showroom in Icogne (by appointment) presents the range for construction, carpentry and outdoor installations.
