Douglas fir

Douglas fir

Douglas fir is abundant and dimensionally stable. While all woods benefit from some degree of "seasoning," that is, allowing it to acclimate to the humidity conditions of the surrounding atmosphere prior to installation, Douglas fir seasons well and can be cut, nailed, and fixed in "greens" and then left to dry. Dry during application.

use

Designers appreciate the visual quality of Douglas fir's texture and richness of texture, and how it responds to fine craftsmanship and finishing. The strength, beauty, and old-fashioned toughness of Douglas fir are all major reasons to choose this long-lasting flooring wood. In addition, Douglas Fir has an excellent performance record in exposed exterior applications that do not touch the ground.

appearance

Douglas fir's light rose color is accentuated by its straight, handsome grain pattern and will "redden" over time when exposed to light. It is also tightly knotted and tightly textured, adding beauty to its structural ability.

Sustainability

Douglas fir woodland is the most productive per acre volume of softwood woodland in the United States. Approximately 34.6 million acres of Douglas fir are managed in long-term rotations primarily in natural stands. Douglas fir and the combination of Douglas fir and western larch account for more than 55% of all western softwood produced annually.
