Is cypress or longleaf pine a good interior flooring material?
Yes! Cypress flooring is a good choice, but it is a relatively soft wood (comparable in hardness to modern day Douglas Fir) and will take on an “aged” look when used in high traffic areas. To give it a harder finish, you might consider sealing it with Waterlox’s “Gym Floor Sealer” product. Longleaf Pine is the perfect choice for flooring because of it’s hardness, which is comparable to modern day red oak. Longleaf Pine has been used for centuries in old American homes and is still in use today. It is the most popular choice among our customers because of it’s high durability and beauty.
