Douglas
Fir
Premium
quality Distribution head office is located in the
Province of British Columbia with access to the
world Largest
Douglas fir markets, with over 30 mills regularly
processing either mixed grain or edge grain
Douglas fir all
Premium Quality's Douglas fir is kiln dried to
less than 10% moisture content best for the
re-manufacturing process value
add lumber and valued add lumber product made from
Douglas fir are now found around the world and
Throughout North America.

Million Acres of Douglas Fir managed
primarily in natural stands. Although production
is much greater in Douglas Fir, the two species
account for more than 45 percent of all Western
softwood produced annually. Each year, more than
1.5 billion tree seedlings are planted in the U.S.
and billions more in Canada -- some five new trees
for each American. Nationally, annual forest
growth has continually exceeded harvest since the
1940,s. In the West, forest growth exceeds harvest
by 35 percent or more each year with similar
practices in Canada.
Douglas Fir lumber products are identified by
region. Products from trees growing west of the
Cascade Crest to the Pacific Ocean, the most
abundant region for Douglas Fir, are simply
identified as "DF" on the grade stamp. East of the
Cascades, Western Larch grows intermixed with
Douglas Fir. The two species are often kept
separate in appearance grade products but are
combined in Dimension products and marketed as
"DF-L". Because Douglas Fir and Western Larch
share nearly identical structural characteristics
and physical working properties, the two species
are interchangeable in Dimension
products. Douglas Fir grown in Canada
is identified as Douglas Fir North or "D Fir (N)"
as shown on the grade stamp "DFN"
Premium Quality Distribution Ltd use's the
following gradestamped National Grade Rule (NGR)
Dimension lumber this is recognized by the
Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and
Transportation (formerly Ministry of Construction)
for use in wood-frame construction.
As wood loses or gains moisture, it will shrink
or swell until it reaches equilibrium with the
constantly changing level of moisture in the air
of its immediate environment. All lumber benefits
from some degree of "seasoning," i.e. letting it
adjust to the humidity conditions of its
surrounding atmosphere before it is installed.
Because of its cell structure, wood shrinks
primarily in width and thickness and very little
in length.
Douglas Fir is unique among all softwood
species in that it is naturally dimensionally
stable, having the ability to season well in
position. Many builders prefer to cut, nail and
fasten Douglas Fir in the "green" or unseasoned
condition, allowing it to air dry during
construction. As a result, coastal Douglas Fir
structural lumber is often shipped unseasoned
(indicated by S-GRN on the grade stamp). Framing
lumber 2 inches and less (nominal size) in
thickness can be shipped after seasoning to a
moisture content of 19 percent or less, which is
indicated by S-DRY, KD or KD-HT on the grade
stamp. S-DRY can mean kiln dried or air seasoned,
while KD and KD-HT specifically mean kiln dried.
Regional market conditions and building trade
preferences dictate local availability of dry or
green products.
For millwork, remanufacturing applications or
glued products, Douglas Fir is dried in
temperature and humidity-controlled kilns or
stacked and air dried until its moisture content
(MC) reaches the desired level for an intended
purpose.
The term "DRY" can be confusing in lumber
terminology. In structural grades, "DRY" indicates
a product was either kiln- or air-dried to a 19
percent or less moisture content level prior to
surfacing. However, in appearance products (e.g.
the FINISH and SELECT grades), "DRY" is defined in
the Western Lumber Grading Rules as being a
maximum of 15 percent MC and in these grades, 85
percent of the items will be shipped with a MC
level of 12 percent or less.
Premium Quality's grade stamp assures
conformance of the graded piece with its
applicable and in accordance of the
Western Lumber Grading Rules, and also to
the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau's (WCLIB)
West Coast Lumber Standard Grading Rules,
the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau's Export R
List Rules, the National Lumber
Grading Authority's (NLGA)
Standard Grading Rules for
Canadian Lumber , the Redwood
Inspection Service's (RIS) Standard
Specifications for Grades of California Lumber
and the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau's (SPIB)
NGR and Scaffold Plank portion of the Standard
Grading Rules for Southern Pine Lumber . These
rules provide lumber users with a dependable

Edge Grain
Fir
Edge grain fir used by custom
door manufactures to cabinet makers edge grain fir is one of the most
attractive fine grain woods asked about in north
America. Premium Quality supplies some of the fines grain edge
grain fir in the World with as many as 30 growth rings per inch.
When it come to edge grain fir
designers appreciate the rich visual quality of
edge grain douglas fir and enjoy its beautiful
response to fine craftsmanship and finishing. When
quarter sawn to expose its vertical grain, edge
grain douglas fir is particularly attractive.
Substantial volumes of clear and nearly clear
timber products are available in edge grain
douglas fir from the long-rotation commercial
timberlands of the western region of Canada
.
Appearance-grade products range from the
exquisitely beautiful to the most utilitarian.
Color, grain pattern, texture, knot size, type
and quantity, as well as quality of manufacturing
are all key factors in determining grade with
allowable characteristics defined for each grade.
Moisture content levels are carefully controlled
in the highest grades to ensure products will meet
the strict dimensional stability requirements of
finish carpenters, furniture manufacturers and
cabinetmakers.
Edge grain douglas fir's
light rosey color, which darkens over time when
exposed to UV rays, is set off by its remarkably
straight grain pattern. The tough fiber holds
fasteners well and it machines to an exceptionally
smooth, glossy surface. When dry, edge grain
douglas fir retains its shape and size without
shrinking, swelling, cupping, warping, bowing or
twisting, and generally won't check or show a
raised grain. Such characteristics make edge grain
douglas fir ideal for all types of trim and
joinery applications: fascia, doors, millwork,
window and door casings, mantels, stairs and
baseboards. Products may be run-to-pattern.
Douglas fir's handsome appearance is clearly
visible in solid plank paneling and edge-glued
veneers. In many cases, the grade of panelling
products reflects the grade of the starting board
material, adhering to similar restrictions for
allowable characteristics.For best finishing
results clear coatings, transparent lacquer,
varnishes, oils, wax, bright or subdued stains,
tints or paints and enamels are all appropriate
finishes for edge grain fir products

Hemlock
Pacific Coast Hemlock
is the commercial designation given to one of
British Columbia's most abundant species: Western
Hemlock. The quality of abundance is one which
manufacturers will value increasingly in the
future. since Pacific Coast Hemlock comprise some
60 percent of British Columbia's coastal forest
resources, continued supply in a wide range of
grades and dimensions is assured.
In
Canada, the United States and international
markets, Pacific Coast Hemlock is finding
increasing favor as a viable alternative to
hardwood and other softwoods in the production of
quality millwork and joinery. Introduce Pacific
Coast Hemlock into your production line soon. For
ease and speed of production of the, highest
quality millwork and joinery, it could be the most
profitable decision you'll ever make. If you have

Of the West's
approximately 136 million acres of forested land,
there are nearly 40 million acres of commercial
timberland* and nearly 50 million acres of
forested land, including some 13 million acres of
designated "old growth," permanently set aside in
parks, scenic reserves, wilderness areas, habitat
reserves and research areas -- forever protected
from harvesting. In addition, as of 1996, more
than 80 percent of the forested area in the
region's National Forests has been withdrawn from
timber harvesting due to legislative,
administrative, or judicial actions as even more
progressive ecosystem management plans are
implemented. In the Western Woods
region, the 12 contiguous Western states plus
Alaska, there are approximately 20 commercially
important species well suited to softwood lumber
production. While each has unique characteristics,
physical and mechanical working properties, making
it appropriate for specific applications, these
Western softwood species are grouped into six
primary combinations. These combinations simplify
production, inventories and distribution, and
facilitate engineering and product specification
for design.
Hem-Fir is a species
combination of Western Hemlock (Tsuga
heterophylla) and five of the True Firs:
California Red Fir (Abies magnifica), Grand Fir
(Abies grandis), Noble Fir (Abies procera),
Pacific Silver Fir (Abies amabilis), and White Fir
(Abies concolor). While Western Hemlock and the
True Firs are sometimes marketed separately in
products graded for appearance, these species
share similar design values making products graded
for structural applications interchangeable.
The Hem-Fir species
combination is one of the most important in the
Western region, second only to the Douglas
Fir-Larch species group in terms of abundance,
production volumes, strength, and versatility in
end use.
Since Hem-Fir framing
lumber products are nearly as strong as Douglas
Fir-Larch, they can meet many of the structural
load-bearing and load-carrying requirements of
residential, light commercial and heavy
construction. With their good strength and
stiffness properties, S-DRY and KD Hem-Fir
structural-grade products are well suited to
framing systems where solid-sawn, structural
lumber is needed for immediate use in an assembly
of other dry framing products (I-beams,
structural-glued finger-jointed lumber,
stress-rated boards, etc.). Dry Hem-Fir framing
products are subject to minimal shrinkage and
checking, and thus perform extremely well in hot,
dry climates, or in cold, low-humidity climates,
and in multistory framing.
Recently, in some
regions of the U.S., end users have experienced
"bouncy" floors when imported species have been
used to their maximum allowable published spans.
In contrast, published design values for all U.S.
species combinations have proven reliable in end
use and U.S. species perform well to published
allowable maximum spans. Hem-Fir's modulus of
elasticity (MOE or E) value, a stiffness factor in
floor systems, exceeds all other Western species
combinations except Douglas Fir-Larch, the species
combination which is held as the standard against
which all other framing lumber is measured
worldwide. It is the combination of stiffness (MOE
value) and strength (Fb value) that yields a
satisfactory floor system.
Hem-Fir is additionally
preferred by many builders because of its:
resistance to splitting in nailing and screwing;
ability to hold nails and screws securely; ease of
sawing without splintering; ability to hold a
variety of glues and adhesives; and moderate
lightness in weight. It is straight grained,
stiff, strong, easy to work and relatively free
from pitch.
Dimension Lumber: The bulk of
S-DRY and KD Hem-Fir is produced in Dimension lumber
sizes (2" to 4" thick by 2" and wider). Dimension
lumber Hem-Fir products include: Structural Light
Framing grades fit applications where high
design values are needed in light-framing sizes
for engineered applications, trusses, laminated
products and multistory projects. (grades
include SELECT STRUCTURAL, NO. 1&BTR, NO.
1, NO. 2, and NO. 3.) These grades may be
a special order for some retail lumber suppliers. Light
Framing grades are intended for general framing
applications such as wall framing, plates, sills,
cripples, blocking, etc. (CONSTRUCTION, STANDARD,
and UTILITY). STUD grade is intended
for vertical installations in wall systems and
other applications including blocking and furring.
Structural Joists & Planks, in 2x5 through
4x18 sizes (with the majority of production in
2x6 through 4x12), are available in SELECT STRUCTURAL,
NO. 1&BTR J&P, NO. 1, NO. 2
and NO. 3 to fit engineered applications where larger-sized
members are required. Special Dimension: Hem-Fir
products in this category include Machine
Stress-Rated (MSR) lumber for components manufacturing
and engineered applications, and
structural-glued (end- or finger jointed)
products, which are recognized by
U.S. building codes as interchangeable with
solid-sawn lumber products of the same grade,
species and intended end use.
One quarter of the
lumber used in components and truss manufacturing
is MSR lumber. Hem-Fir MSR products are commonly
available in several stress levels, occasionally
up to 2400 Fb-2.0E. These MSR products offer good
strength-to-weight properties, recognized
plate-holding ability, exceptional stiffness and
consistent availability in a variety of lengths,
widths and grades. for more information e-mail US
