The Oak planks stored in this warehouse have been cut from the forests in 2.2M lenghs and  kiln dried at the factory. They are awaiting to go into production of the doors

The wood when put into production is first accurately sawn into strips to maximise the amount of select wood from the oak or beech planks. Lasers are used to make this process easier for the operator

Now the wood has been sawn it is taken onto the next process.

The Oak strips have now been glued together to make oak panels which are much more stable than a single piece of oak.

The solid wood timber panels are machined and sanded to form the various parts of the solid wood doors. The picture shown here is of a raised and fielded panel from the prestige range

The solid wood is also machined into side stiles for the doors. This picture shows a close detail of the sophisticated tenon joint used in the construction of the Roziere doors. In the background you can see many more pieces awaiting conversion into the doors

Here you can see the door being assembled. The side stiles are glued to the centre panel under high pressure

Here you can see the construction of an assembled door. The solid wood pieces and the thick layer of high grade oak facing, make this door construction one of the best available in terms of durabilty and being extreamly stable. The directional change of the grain will make this frame as stable as possible in the same way plywood is manufactured to eliminate warping and twisting

On the prehung door sets the doors are morticed ready for assembly into frames and the locks and striking plates are put in

Some of the doors from the Roziere factory in some finishes are made to look like doors over 100 years old. This is all done by experienced craftsmen in the factory. After guaging and making holes to simulate wood worm the finisher is sanding down some of the edges to create an authentic look

Here 2 workman are staining an Ambata door with the Oak patine finish. The door is given several coates to make sure it is impregnated into the wood.

This is a pile of Cevennes doors that are ready to go into door sets. The have gad their hinges put on and the locks have been inserted
