Douglas Fir

The Architect's Choice

Douglas fir (aka Architectural Fir) is North America’s most plentiful softwood species, accounting for one fifth of the continent’s total softwood reserves. Best known for its toughness, density and excellent fire ratings, douglas fir can be used for beams or milled for other applications. The great part about this beam is it can be easily stained to match the exact look you want. Whether using douglas fir inside or outside, we have the size, cut, and style you need for your project.
