Douglas-Fir Specialties
While Douglas-Fir is prized for its structural strength and tight grain, the heartwood of this dependable species also offers natural decay resistance, making it a practical and more affordable Cedar alternative for outdoor projects.
Douglas-fir heartwood is an excellent choice for many outdoor applications due to its strong and resilient nature. This impressive fibre has a natural resistance to rot and insect damage, which is crucial for outdoor applications. It is easy to work with, allowing for smooth cutting, shaping, and installation. Douglas-Fir heartwood remains stable and resists checking or twisting, even when exposed to varying temperatures and moisture levels.
Tolko VISTA Douglas-Fir Heart is our highest appearance grade fir. With its warm amber color and distinctive grain pattern, Douglas-Fir Heart adds a timeless and attractive look to various structures.
