Pine flooring
Posted on 11/1/15 at 9:34 pm

In the process of deciding on wood flooring for new home. I've always had red/white oak but the wide pine flooring looks interesting. I worry about the softness of pine though. Anybody have it? Opinions?

The older heart pine is much harder that regular line...

It is soft. I rented an office with pine floors years ago. It was old house and the floors had obviously lasted for years, but it did not stand up to heavy traffic very well.

Get some wormwood or naily board

I have it and it is soft. If you drop something it will leave a dent. Some think the worn look adds character.

I have it and it is soft. At first I thought it sucked but I kind of like the marks it has. Floors have some "character" in them.

My hard wood floors are a little banged up from the kids dropping toys and such.All wood floors get marked up.

Will extra coats of polyurethane help make it more durable?

Had a friend that had them. Used a light seal and kept them light and I liked them in concert with their brick pavers on their kitchen floor. Nice combination.

Use Oil-Modified Urethane (Gym Finish 450). It has a shite load of VOCs...and takes a full 24 hours to dry...but it is crazy durable). That being said...it is a pain in the butt to apply. Make sure you read up on it a bit before trying.

If you don't know what you are doing, the Oil-Based can really come out screwed up. However it is the most durable option.
