Bridging Design and Nature with Custom Timber Homes

With every beam meticulously selected and every joint expertly fashioned, our craftsmen employ time-honored techniques to create timber frame homes that are not only stunning but also energy-efficient. Custom built to mirror the unique visions of homeowners, our dwellings take full advantage of the sturdy and majestic Douglas fir, ensuring each home is as enduring as it is beautiful.

Advantages of Utilizing Douglas Fir in Construction

• Timber from the Douglas Fir Tree

Famed for its strength, resilience, and adaptability, Douglas Fir emerges as an optimal selection for various construction endeavors across the globe. This sturdy softwood ranks high for structural integrity, excelling in capabilities such as load-bearing, and providing a solid base for screws and nails, alongside an impressive weight-to-strength capacity.

• Structural Strength Properties

For components requiring significant support, like framework trusses present in dwellings, agricultural establishments, and storage units, Douglas Fir stands out due to its superior tensional, shear, and compressive strengths. Its affordability and constant market presence make  it suitable for diverse uses, including residential homes, commercial spaces, multi-leveled complexes, and hefty industrial settings.

• Aesthetic Applications

Douglas Fir is not only functional but also visually striking due to its deep golden hue and distinctive linear grain texture. It is ideal for ornamental applications. To further accentuate its natural elegance and guard against environmental damage such as moisture ingress, sun damage, pests, decay organisms and fungal growth, treatments like staining or applying protective finishes are advised.

• Exterior Applications

Crafted to endure the elements, Douglas Fir’s strength combined with its resistance to moisture contributes to its suitability for outdoor construction applications.
