The sign of a good hardwood floor is whether it has been able to stand the test of time. No hardwood floor has proven to be more timeless than Douglas Fir hardwood flooring. For centuries, Douglas Fir has been the predominant wood used in buildings that are still standing strong today.
Douglas Fir Flooring
Throughout the US, and particularly the Rocky Mountain West, Douglas Fir has been the preferred choice in hardwood flooring. Since the 1800s, Douglas Fir has been used to build classic structures, as well as barns and granaries. Many of these structures have stood the test of time, and even if the structure no longer remains, there’s a good chance that the Douglas Fir has been reclaimed and repurposed in new homes and buildings.
Douglas Fir is strong and durable
A good test for a wood is whether it is sought after as a reclaimed wood product thanks to its strength and durability. Douglas Fir is one of the most popular types of wood for reclaimed floors, wall and ceiling trim, moldings, and wood beams due to its classic wood characteristics. The Douglas Fir is also highly resistant to decay, which adds to the durability and the longevity of this naturally beautiful wood.
Characteristics of Douglas Fir
We get our Douglas Fir flooring from the Sustainable Lumber Company in Montana. All of the wood is certified and comes in a variety of colors and textures. The grain tends to be mixed, so you can choose between a more pronounced grain or a more subtle grain, depending on your style. You can also choose between hand scraped, and wire brushed flooring if you are looking to add a bit more texture and make your floors look reclaimed and antique.
