Douglas Fir Hardwood Floors
If you ask any architect or engineer, they will tell you that Douglas Fir Wood floors are the strongest in the wood flooring species. Douglas Fir is the most commonly chosen by architects and people in the home building and construction business. There are several characteristics that make it what it is, and some of those even contribute to the overall beauty of the product.
Even though Douglas Fir is commonly found in the in the Northwest area of the United States, there are also Douglas Fir farms all across the country that specifically grow this type of wood. It naturally grows within the forests around California and all along the Northwest. Following a forest fire, Douglas fir trees spring up like sunflowers cling to the direction of the sun. They grow strong after the aftermath of the forest fire and keep growing until they are ready to harvest for the product of your choosing.
One reason that they are most commonly chosen among construction builders and architects (and perhaps the number one reason) for flooring is that it withstands a great force, even in the face of nature. It has the highest rating when it comes to the amount of pressure that it will withstand before bending a certain amount or collapsing altogether.
Aside from Douglas Fir flooring, however, it is also a common material of decks and also wood door frames. But Douglas Fir definitely does work especially well as a flooring product, since it is strong and very much resilient to the forces of nature as well as the forces of everyday use!
