The wood under my foot is on is standard construction grade 2x4's turned onto their edges and packed together. I think it would look good as a finished floor. I've only seen this done once before on a youtube video tour of a passive house for a very small section of floor for a loft.
However if used in new construction as a finished floor system this would cost about $4.50 a sqft. Comparatively, cheap (and shitty) laminate flooring from Home Depot (accounting for subfloor and underlayment) would cost about $3.50 a sqft.
If this floor system was used on the second floor I think it would look good as an exposed ceiling. It would negate the cost of drywall on the ceiling of the first floor. The material and labor cost to install drywall is between $2.00 to $4.00 a sqft in my area. so $1.50 lest expensive, but maybe comparable in labor costs to install.
My only qualms with this system is sound attenuation between floors.
Thoughts?
