Now that the dry months of Winter are upon us, we’d like to remind all our clients and colleagues that it’s important to care for your wood floors by monitoring the environmental conditions in your home, office, and retail spaces.
The natural expansion and contraction of wood caused by relative humidity levels that are either too high or too low can adversely affect floors, paneling, millwork, and even furniture.
Here are a few easy ways to protect and maintain your floors this season:
Purchase a digital hygrometer
Maintain an interior temperature between 60 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit
Maintain an interior relative humidity of 35 - 55%
