Douglas fir is a wood variety that can be used in a wide range of applications. Outdoors it performs strongly, while indoors it brings warmth and structure. This makes douglas fir a remarkably versatile choice for anyone looking to work with a European softwood that convinces both technically and aesthetically. Moreover, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to impregnated spruce.
Douglas fir comes from sustainably managed forests in North-West Europe and has rightly gained in popularity in recent years. The wood variety is known for its natural durability and sturdiness, making it ideally suited to outdoor applications such as cladding and roof boards.
Indoors, too, douglas fir shows itself to great advantage. After drying, the wood becomes harder and the fine flame grain gains even more presence. The yellow-brown to light-pink tone of the heartwood also gives every project a warm, lively foundation.
Douglas fir is a wood variety you can use both outdoors and indoors without compromise. Strong, warm and versatile — a true all-rounder.
Douglas fir is easy to tailor to the atmosphere you want to create. You can leave the wood untreated for a pure, natural look, or opt for a colour finish with oil or stain. This way it blends beautifully with both warm and contemporary interiors.
Additional processing is also possible. Brushing adds more relief, while charring gives the wood an entirely different intensity. Douglas fir lends itself particularly well to a charred finish using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique. We then fix the charred layer so that it no longer rubs off. The result is a surface with more depth, contrast and texture. Indoors in particular, this also makes douglas fir a budget-friendly alternative to oak.
From cladding and roof boards to ceilings, walls and gates: douglas fir proves its versatility in numerous projects. Filter by douglas fir in our projects for inspiration.
