Coastal Hem-Fir

Coastal hem-fir is a combination of the pacific coast’s most abundant species, Western hemlock and Amabilis fir. These high-value species are virtually identical in appearance and share many performance characteristics, such as strength, stiffness, density, durability, and color. Hem-fir is not only valued for its beauty, strength, pressure treating performance, and overall versatility, but is also considered a cost effective solution compared to alternative species or building materials. With a fine, straight grain, consistent light color, and excellent staining qualities, hem-fir is an excellent choice for appearance applications, joinery, and structural applications that aim to highlight visual quality.

With its subtle coloring, freedom from pitch, excellent machinability, and high-quality grain, hem-fir takes stains, finishes, and preservatives like a pro. This combination of light color and ease of staining allows for the wood to be transformed to look like other high-value wood species at an economical cost.

For exterior applications, consider the following tips to ensure your hemlock products perform to the highest standard:

Choose a durable exterior finish that will require little to no maintenance or reapplication to extend the life of the product when exposed to weathering.
Apply a product that allows the wood to breathe, as waterproof finishes may trap moisture inside the wood, resulting in early decay.
Select a rich finish that will highlight
