CLEAR DOUGLAS FIR

DOUGLAS FIR

Please note if FSC/PEFC certified wood is required
please specify at time of placing an order.

Douglas Fir is best known for its tough fibre, dense grain structure and strength. Appreciated by designers and architects alike it has a rich visual quality that responds to fine craftsmanship and finishing.

Attractive Grain and Colour
Douglas Fir has a light, rose colour, which darkens over time when exposed to UV rays. When sawn, its vertical grain it is particularly attractive and has a remarkably straight grain pattern. The type and quantity, grain pattern, colour, texture and knot size; as well as quality of manufacturing all determine the grade, with each grade having its own characteristics.
Moisture content levels are carefully controlled in the highest grades to ensure products will meet the strict dimensional stability requirements of furniture manufacturers and cabinet makers.

Exceptional Finish
Douglas Fir machines to an exceptionally smooth, glossy finish and when dry it retains its shape and size without shrinking, swelling, cupping, warping, bowing or twisting, and generally won’t show a raised grain.
Clear coatings, transparent lacquer, varnishes, oils, wax, bright or subdued stains, tints or paints and enamels are all appropriate finishes. 

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOUGLAS FIR

Density 530kg/M³
Durability: Rated as moderately resistant to decay. Needs proper and adequate protection.
Finishing: Paints, stains and varnishes all work well
Workability: Easy to cut, saw, plane, nail, turn and glue.
Works readily with hand and power tools.
Moulding qualities very good.
Resistance to Abrasion: Good, works well in areas where hardness is a factor.
Hardness: Medium

Uses
These characteristics make Douglas fir ideal for all types of joinery applications including fascia, doors, millwork, window and door casings, mantels, stairs and baseboards. Although most softwoods are not suitable for flooring Douglas Fir will hold a finish, remain level, resist scuffing and cracking and maintain its appearance under extreme wear.
The higher grades of Douglas Fir, as stocked by Illingworth Ingham (M/cr) Ltd, are quite refined with sound, tight knots making it suitable for shelving, cladding and panelling. It is dimensionally stable and recognised for its strength–to-weight ratio. Its high specific gravity provides superb nail and plate-holding ability.
