Douglas wood is a softwood species from Northwest Europe that naturally has a high durability and strength. These favorable properties make it very widely applicable.

It is a type of wood that is not yet known as Oak, Beech or Spruce. Nevertheless, a lot of people, also in the Netherlands, will often have walked past a Douglas fir. Once you recognize the tree, it can be spotted in a large number of places. In recent years, the reputation of Douglas wood and with it the use of this type of wood has increased considerably.

Naturally high durability.
Douglas has naturally a high durability untreated.
Due to its naturally high durability, Douglas is an environmentally friendly alternative to impregnated spruce, which often contains harmful substances to achieve increased durability. In addition, it is aesthetically more beautiful than impregnated wood.

Increasing availability.
In large forest areas of Western Europe (in particular France and Germany) the Douglas fir has been planted in large quantities in recent decades. This has resulted in the annual growth of 1 million cubic meters of Douglas in France alone. Within 10 years, 2 million cubic meters will grow annually.

In the Netherlands, Staatsbosbeheer has been aiming for years to increase the use of indigenous wood. Douglas will make an increasing contribution to this in the future.
