BENEFITS OF DOUGLAS FIR

Metrie’s Douglas Fir features the following benefits:

Consistent Warm Color
With subtle variation in grain and a rich warm color, this product stains well and leaves your home with a distinctive West Coast contemporary feel.

Premium Clear Product
Douglas Fir is shade intolerant, therefore as the tree grows the lower branches self-prune providing more area of the tree with consistent knot free fibre. This allows for a clean, consistent, long length structure.

Versatile Grain
Douglas Fir offers two distinct grain patterns. The Mixed Grain (or Flat Grain) offers a coarse, wide, light to dark pattern. In contrast, the Vertical Grain (or Edge Grain) pattern is more consistent in color and offers a tight grain pattern (8 or more growth rings per inch).

The hardest of the soft woods
Being the hardest of all softwoods, Douglas Fir mouldings hold nails or screws well, with little concern over cracks or separation in the wood. Its resistance to splintering and scrapes or dents makes it ideal for use in high traffic areas.
