Douglas fir
3.5 usd/kg
Douglas fir, also called Oregon pine, is an evergreen conifer like pine and spruce that yields a slightly superior softwood timber. It is grown across the northern and southern hemispheres and readily available from certified sources. Old growth Douglas fir has been heavily depleted and new timber typically comes from plantations, such as from North and South America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
Sustainability concerns
Non-renewable ingredients
Raw material generates polluting by-products
Low circularity potential
Potentially toxic in use
Douglas fir (Douglas-fir) is a high quality plywood. It is utilised for both its advantageous mechanical properties and visually distinctive appearance. Applications span cabinet making and furniture, to construction (floors, walls, ceilings, kitchens and bathrooms) and boat building. It is classed as moderately durable, and so suitable for exterior use as long as it is combined with a suitably durable adhesive. However, it is not considered durable enough to be used in applications with prolonged ground contact without treatment.
