Together, we'll explore this classic wood's potential and examine why we chose to work with industry leaders like Dinesen, Horning, and Pur Natur to deliver unparalleled quality.


Prime Grade Douglas Fir Wood Flooring

"Prime" represents the highest pedigree of wood, offering a minimalistic vibe with fewer cracks and smaller knots. Upon correct installation and finish:

  • It presents a serene interior space where the organic flow of grain pattern takes centre stage.

  • Natural differences in sapwood and heartwood are harmoniously balanced.

  • Wider, longer planks amplify the wood's natural beauty, while patterns like herringbone or chevron highlight its versatility.

  • Less furniture accentuates the calm, allowing the floor to act as a peaceful backdrop or a stunning focal point.


Respected Prime Grade Manufacturers:

  • Horning: Known for their 'Exquisite' range.

  • Pur Natur: Offers the 'Select' option.

  • Dinesen: Renowned for their 'Classic' selections.

  • Rich with character, whether installed in a rural setting or a modern abode.

  • A diverse palette of wood shades offers authenticity without artificial tints.

  • The floor's design feels dynamic yet harmonious, making it a comfortable match for any furnishing level.


Solid Douglas Fir Flooring
