Antique Douglas Fir

Showcasing a reddish-brown pigment with prominent growth rings and a slightly lighter sapwood, Douglas fir is a beautiful wood flooring option. Douglas fir floors have a predominantly clear vertical grain (CVG), but the grain pattern can also be wavy or spiral-shaped. Mixed grain antique Douglas fir plank flooring is unique, and the previous nail holes and millwork serve as a great reminder that this wood flooring is a rich piece of history and a one-of-a-kind feature in your home or business. 

Douglas fir was a popular wood floor in turn-of-the-century mission style homes for both the living room and working quarters. These high quality hardwood floors offer versatility and pair well with any interior design application, whether they’re installed in home remodels, new construction or commercial spaces. Douglas fir flooring is truly timeless, so you can be confident in your investment.

Today, Douglas fir is reclaimed from old factories and warehouses in the form of large beams and dimensional lumber. Harvested in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, the Douglas tree species can be utilized in many types of spaces.
