Monday, June 13, 2011Wood Floors and Humidity in Your Home
Anyone who is looking at putting hardwood flooring into their home should have a basic understanding of how humidity affects wood flooring. Many times the problems that can arise when wood floors come in contact with water or water vapor can be prevented if the flooring contractor properly educates the homeowner. Unfortunately this information isn’t always communicated to the homeowner leaving them feeling frustrated or even feeling like they’ve been given inferior products or poor craftsmanship. A simple explanation of how wood is affected by water and how to prevent this being a problem for your floor will greatly reduce the incidence of poor experiences.

If you’re thinking of getting new wood floors and you’re wondering how well they will hold up under the traffic of your four legged friends, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The ability of a floor to hold up under the traffic of large pets will be determined by a couple of issues. First what species you use and secondly what type of finish is put on your floor.

Monday, May 23, 2011Fix The Squeak
Two pieces of wood rubbing together are the cause of most squeaks in wooden floors. There are two reason this happens. In one case the wood floor has pulled away from the sub floor that lies beneath it. Most hard wood floors are installed by nailing the wood floorboards to a plywood sub floor which rests on the support beams underneath. The sub floor can warp or the nails used to secure the floorboards in place come loose. The second reason for squeaks is a gap between the sub floor and the joists. The gaps most likely occur because the sub floor has warped.

Monday, May 02, 2011Before You Floor
Hardwood floors are timeless and add character to any home. These classic, attractive floors aren’t to be taken lightly, however. There are a number of variables to consider when deciding what floor is right for you.
Every species used in hardwood flooring has unique properties, but the main aspects you’ll need to judge are color and grain. Different species have different colors, naturally, but the colors from specific parts of the tree tend to vary. How your wood is cut and the species determines the pattern of the grain.
