Antique Cypress is generally salvaged in coastal areas of the southeast. Louisiana was a source for much of the salvaged Antique Cypress; however, due to hurricanes such as Rita and Katrina, the supply has been greatly diminished. Although it is found primarily in the South, Cypress can be shipped anywhere and adapts well to almost all geographic conditions.

The old growth Cypress trees grew alongside of the Heart Pine forests, but the Cypress tree grew more commonly in the swampy coastal areas. Many of our customers are substituting the Heart Pine in place of the Antique Cypress. Grain patterns and color of the two species are somewhat similar as are the strength and load capacities. 

At this time finding beams of any quantity and size is rather difficult leaving flooring as our primary product in the Antique Cypress. The flooring is very durable as the Antique Cypress has very tight growth rings and a natural resistance to decay and insects. Reclaimed Cypress can range in colors from a reddish color to a rich brown, with an interesting and unique grain pattern.
