Nova's Douglas Fir 1x4 Edge & Center Bead is the classic ECB ceiling pattern — a bead at each edge and one down the center, so a 1x4 board reads as two narrower boards once it is up. Milled to a 5/8 x 3-1/8 face. Our ECB ceiling is graded CMG — clear mixed grain, C & Better. This is a beautiful pattern with a tight ring count, and it is what goes up on ceilings, porch soffits, wainscot and feature walls — a true old growth, fine grain Douglas Fir.

Our Douglas Fir clears are kiln dried for stability, so the material holds its dimension once it is inside and finished. We are happy to arrange final surfacing as required by many of our customers. Prefinishing and matching trim can be quoted with the order.

Douglas Fir is not sold online. Contact Nova for pricing, current availability and lead time for your next Douglas Fir ceiling project.

Douglas Fir Species Information

Douglas Fir has the highest strength to weight ratio of any wood species. Primarily found in the western US and Canada, Douglas Fir is frequently use for dimension lumber in lower grades, and for interior finish work in upper grades. Douglas Fir clears are renowned for their strength, durability, and ability to stand up to the elements. In addition to its strength, Douglas Fir has rich coloring with the heartwood aging to a dark tan-red color and the sap wood remaining light tan. Vertical grain, clear Douglas Fir is widely considered to be one of the finest materials available for trim, mouldings, doors, windows, exposed beams, ceilings and paneling. Douglas Fir CVG flooring has been used throughout the US since the 1800's and is often found in classic historic homes.

Grading for Douglas Fir

C&Btr is the highest grade available from most manufacturers for clear softwood products. This is an appearance grade of clear lumber and will contain relatively few defects which are limited to very small pitch or bark pockets, and occasional small tight knots.
