Remarks
Douglas Fir is one of the strongest of all North American softwoods. It has the highest modulus of elasticity value (an important factor in the stiffness of roof and floor systems). This species commands respect as a dependable, all-purpose wood for both heavy and light construction. Douglas Fir lumber products are identified by region as "DF", "DFS" and "D Fir (N) on the grade stamp.

Pieces of wood, jointed and glued together. The main characteristics are the ability to produce long beams of big dimensions, always abiding to the European strength classes and quality regulations. Depending on the number of lamellas we distinguish them into duolam, trilam or glulams.

Measurements in millimeters |
It can be distinguished into two major categories, profile boards (mouldings, flooring etc) and planed, like for example planed beams for visible construction work.The planning, gives the desired finish and dimension to the timber.
Humidity levels are low, about 15-18%.

Small softwood logs mainly in pine. They can be either machine rounded or simply debarked. They are usually impregnated, because they are exposed to all weather conditions or are in direct contact with the soil.

Basically what we call construction timber.Sawn timber is applied in almost all stages of construction.A few forms of sawn timber are laths, rafters, beams etc.
