Douglas Fir Flooring: Vertical Grain
Douglas Fir is an excellent choice for those wanting a wood floor without the hardwood price. While the wood may be known as a Western softwood, don’t let that be a deterrent – a properly cared for Douglas Fir floor can stand the test of time.
Vertical Grain Douglas Fir flooring is the same as High Grade specs but has 100% vertical grain. It may contain occasional tight knots 3/4″ or less which the installer has the option to trim out. To some, a Clear Vertical Grain floor may look better with an occasional knot or nail hole to break up the perfection. However, if you prefer an absolutely pristine floor, please contact us for availability. If you have measured correctly, most of our clients order 2%–5% extra for High Grade Vertical Grain.
About Wood Flooring
Our flooring is remanufactured either from reclaimed planks and beams, or reused ‘as is’ from old buildings. Flooring grades depend on the quality of wood received from each deconstruction project.
Your installer will have to trim ends on all floors over 6″ wide and on random pieces on floors under 6″ wide.
Reclaimed wood flooring comes in standard widths of 3″, 4½”, 6″ & 8½”. Wide plank Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine 9″ and wider are both available, as well as Vertical Grain Douglas Fir in various widths. We can match milling on your old Fir floors for repair or additions.
With the exception of tight vertical grain Douglas Fir, rarely will any two of our reclaimed floors look exactly alike. Your reclaimed wood flooring is hand-picked and graded after it has been run to pattern. If you desire a particular look (such as many or few nail holes, larger or smaller knots, black oxidation marks, etc.), please call for accommodation. All of our flooring ships unfinished.
