Douglas fir

The hallmark of Douglas fir is its natural durability, but to best protect the wood from moisture, UV rays and fungal growth, it is often treated with Douglas fir stain. The use of Douglas fir oil is especially appropriate for Douglas fir because of its properties. Douglas is naturally durable and is often used outdoors for various applications, such as patios, fences, siding, pergolas and garden furniture. Douglas oil helps protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, mold growth and general wear and tear.

Douglas stain or oil?

Douglas stain and Douglas oil are both products used to protect Douglas wood, read the differences below:

1. Composition
   • Douglas stain: This is a transparent or semi-transparent stain that contains pigments to give the wood a specific color. It usually contains protective elements against UV rays and moisture, protecting the wood from discoloration and rot.
   • Douglas-fir oil: This is more of an impregnating agent that penetrates the wood to keep moisture out. Douglas oil often contains fewer pigments and is usually transparent, preserving the natural look of the wood.
2. Protection
   • Douglas stain: In addition to color, Douglas stain offers protection against UV rays and discoloration. It provides a visible coating on the surface of the wood.
   • Douglas oil: Douglas oil penetrates deeper into the wood and protects it primarily from moisture, making the wood less likely to rot. It offers less protection from UV rays and can be less long-lasting than stain.
3. Appearance
   • Douglas-fir stain: Because stain contains pigments, it can slightly alter the natural appearance of the wood, depending on the color of the stain.
   • Douglas oil: Douglas oil usually preserves the natural appearance of the wood because it is more transparent and contains fewer pigments that change the color of the wood.
