Reclaimed Cedar Siding for Flooring
Quick Column Summary:
- Reclaimed cedar siding
- Can you use it for flooring
- Cedar is too soft for floors
- Try oak or maple
Teresa, from Dove Creek, CO, asked a pithy question about recycling cedar siding.
"Does reclaimed cedar siding make a good floor?"
Here's my answer:
Teresa, cedar is a very soft wood. I'd never use it as a flooring material.
Oak is a handsome wood as is maple. Both work well for flooring.
