Species Description
The Douglas Fir can be found in abundance across the continent of North America, serving as a familiar sight for millions. Used often as a staple for construction, Douglas Fir is also renowned for its strength and durability. In addition to its strength, Douglas Fir has a rich, visually soothing color combination with the heartwood varying from creamy yellowish-brown for older trees to light red for younger trees and complimented by pale white tones.

Grading
Floors take an incredible beating and few softwood species are suitable. However, Douglas fir will hold a finish, maintain its appearance, remain level, and resist cracking, scuffing or splintering under extreme wear. Flooring is machined tongue-and-groove and end-matched. The grade specifically developed for flooring is C & BTR FLOORING. It should be specified vertical grain for the best wearing surface.
General Information
Unfinished flooring is installed and then sanded and finished on site. For new residential construction, solid unfinished flooring is the preferred choice. Material can be stained and then finished with the customer's choice of gloss level: satin, semi-gloss or high-gloss. Material can also be re-sanded and re-finished many times over offering the customer a floor which will last generations.
