Cypress
Decking, T&G, Molding, and more. We have
Cypress for all your needs.
Native to the South East united states Cypress is a
beautiful blond wood that can be used for a variety of
applications. We have been selling cypress for
decades and are one of the SE US larger suppliers.
Cypress is very stable. This helps it prevent warping
and cracking that would come from Pine or other woods. This
stability also allows it to readily accept paints and
stains.
Cypress's versatility is shown as it can be used outdoors as
a decking product or indoors applications such as paneling
and millwork.
