Douglas Fir

It may be a softwood species, but Douglas Fir is noted for its durability and strength, which is why it is a popular choice for external cladding. Particularly well suited to external jobs, Douglas Fir has great natural resilience to fungal decay and infestation, helping it to maintain its striking appearance for decades. Douglas Fir cladding is ideal for those who prefer a red-brown wood colour to help create a rich and natural aesthetic. It is also a particularly characterful timber and so is ideal for those who like to celebrate the natural beauty of wood, including its knots and grain. The density and durability of Douglas Fir means it can be left untreated but over time, it will fade to a silver-grey shade.

Find the perfect Douglas Fir cladding for your project at Mill Timber Direct, where we have an extensive selection of Douglas Fir, sometimes referred to as Oregon Pine. Much of our Douglas Fir cladding is premium grade, meaning it has come from slower-growing tees with closer growth rings, resulting in a high-quality timber product. Premier Forest Products is among our main suppliers of Douglas Fir timber, with each piece machined here in the UK.

Much of our Douglas Fir cladding has been kiln treated to help boost its strength and increase its resistance to weather, insects, and fungus. There is a wide selection of cladding styles available, from the more traditional shiplap cladding to modern screen cladding. Choose from a range of vertical or horizontal styles in a selection of sizes, including 150mm x 25mm and 100mm x 25mm. Other Douglas Fir cladding options include shadow gap style and tongue and groove V joint cladding.
