Environmental Conditions Impact

The environmental conditions of a space have a significant influence on the state of a hardwood floor.

Humidity

  • Ideal humidity for hardwood floors: 30-50%

Moisture

The moisture content of a hardwood floor is a critical factor in determining its stability and performance.

  • Acceptable moisture reading for hardwood floors: 6-9% (varies slightly depending on wood species)
  • Moisture meter used to measure moisture content

Temperature

  • Ideal temperature for hardwood floors: 60-80°F
  • Sudden temperature fluctuations can cause wood to expand and contract rapidly, leading to buckling or cracking

Note: It’s essential to monitor and regulate environmental conditions to maintain a stable and beautiful hardwood floor.
