At Prairie Timberframes, we utilize a variety of timber species to ensure durability, aesthetic appeal, and structural integrity in our timber frame structures. The two primary species we work with are white pine and red pine, both of which are revered for their strength and versatility. White pine is known for its light color and fine grain, making it a popular choice for visible structural elements. Red pine, on the other hand, offers a rich reddish hue and is recognized for its robustness, making it ideal for heavy-load applications. Additionally, we occasionally source Douglas fir, which is prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to decay, adding further options for our clients seeking quality timber solutions.

High-quality stain for timbers is essential for both aesthetic appeal and long-term protection. Such stains penetrate deeply into the wood, enhancing the natural grain while providing a durable barrier against moisture, UV rays, and potential decay. Formulated with advanced resins and pigments, high-quality stains offer a wide range of colours that can enhance the beauty of timber structures, whether they are part of a home or a decorative feature. Furthermore, these stains are designed to resist fading and peeling, ensuring that the wood maintains its appearance and integrity over time. At Prairie Timberframes we use premium high performance and environmentally friendly wood finishes.
