Is Australian Cypress a durable hardwood flooring option?
Any hardwood flooring experts out there?
We are considering 5 1/4" unfinished Australian Cypress flooring but have heard some stories that it can tend to crack, creak and pop after installation.
We are planning to match moisture contents of flooring and subfloor before installation, glue and staple the boards in place, and the house will have a quality central HVAC system with humidity control.
Should we be concerning ourselves about this wood? Will this wood be likely to crack and pop when we walk on it down the road?
Thanks for any advice!
Mike
Cypress pine is actually a softwood.

This site is terrible looking, but has some good info:

It's a nice timber, used a lot in Australia for flooring for many years. It's termite proof which is a big bonus in Australia. I've also seen many kitchens fitted out with Cypress cupboards, very striking.
There aren't many problems in Australia with Cypress flooring, but not sure what affect climate would have. It sounds like you are taking all precautions and are doing it properly.
Hope it all turns out well.
