Does anyone not love hardwood flooring? Hardwood floors have an allure that can't be denied. They add charm to a room.
Wood floors are also easy to take care of. However, you may be wondering about the water/wood issues associated with them.
Wipe spills immediately
Never let water pool. Damp-mop only; when you polish, wipe it dry before leaving the room.
It's also necessary to consider seasonal challenges like snow, ice, rain, and damp leaves. Finally, if you have an outdoor pet, wipe their paws thoroughly.
Place welcome mats at entrances. This way, people can wipe their feet before stepping on your hardwood floors.
Don’t forget about the subfloor!
Damage can travel easily from the sub to the surface, the floor we see and touch. So, when the floor is installed, be sure moisture readings are taken regularly.
If the floors get wet, use a wet vac, and dry them thoroughly between planks. The last thing you want to do is have a subfloor that rots or collapses.
Choose engineered hardwood flooring
On the surface, this looks just solid. However, the construction underneath differs, resulting in a stable hardwood that can handle water better.
