Douglas fir is one of the most durable softwoods available, making it the builder’s choice for many different applications. While wood flooring is more delicate than engineered flooring options, the texture of circle sawn flooring offers a slight camouflage from the dings and scratches that inevitably come with everyday wear and tear.

We typically recommend adding about 5% waste to ensure you have enough product to finish up your project.

Our flooring needs to be nailed into place. We recommend using a flooring nailer and 1 ¾” -2” flooring nails.

We recommend letting the flooring acclimate in your house for two weeks. Acclimation is crucial to making sure your flooring moves as little as possible once it is installed.

Choosing a stain can be one of the most difficult decisions you make when it comes to wood flooring. Our flooring comes unfinished, giving you the freedom to choose from a wide array of options that fit your unique style. While we do not sell stains at Marks Lumber, we can provide you with suggestions. We recommend using the Old Master’s brand, oil-based stain.

Because you will sand, seal, and finish your floors during the installation process, the end product will feel smooth. With circle sawn flooring, you get both the comfort of smooth wood floors and a unique, rustic appeal that adds character and beauty to any space.

We offer a Grade #3 flooring in 4”, 6”, and 4” & 6” mixed width that is sold as circle sawn T&G. This is still a circle sawn flooring, but it does have more surface defects, such as more knots or bigger knots. Unlike our end-matched tongue and groove this Grade #3 flooring is a center-matched tongue and groove, meaning it does not have T&G on the ends, only the sides.
