Wood Species - Interior
There are many wonderful species of timbers to choose. For interior timber framing we primarily use:
Douglas Fir
Red Oak
White Oak
Heavy Timber Truss & Frame offers a wide variety of finishes. Before we apply any finish to the timbers, we sand all visible sides with a fine grade of sandpaper then apply the finish.
The most popular finish on kiln dried timber is your choice of stain and then two coats of polyurethane to protect the timber. The polyurethane can be a high gloss but most choose a satin finish. This furniture quality finish is unmatched in the timber frame industry.
For timbers that are freshly sawn and still need to release moisture, we recommend a selection of colored Danish oils that can capture the look you want while protecting the timber and enhancing its natural beauty.
We will send you samples of any of our finishes as these decisions are being made.
If you prefer to have your timbers unfinished we will simply sand them and pack them carefully for installation and finishing on site.
We are very careful in how we pack and wrap the timbers so they will arrive on site in very good condition and ready for erection.
All these species have attributes that are different from one another. Some are softer while others are harder, some are naturally darker in color or naturally lighter in color. Some are only available in smaller dimensions. Some have more or less grain and the specifications go on and on.
You can depend on our guidance to help you select the right choice for you..
