 It is easy to keep your hardwood floors looking new and beautiful for a lifetime. Following very simple tips will help your hardwood floor to retain its natural beauty, strength and durability: wipe up spills or spots with a lightly damp cloth and sweep or vacuum the floor to prevent dirt, dust or frit from scratching the finish and clean it regularly with appropriate non-wax cleaner. Wood plank and parquet flooring are a natural wood product and will absorb excess moisture under humid conditions and release their normal moisture content under excessively dry conditions. All wood flooring expands in the humid summer weather and shrinks in the winter under dry conditions. Wide plank flooring, particularly square edge type, is apt to swell during the humid season and will shrink when heat is applied. The use of V grooved planks hides shrinkage cracks. During later spring, summer and early fall, when the furnace of heating system is off, we recommend the use of a dehumidifier in your basement. As well as protecting your wood floor from excessive humidity which could result in expansion of the planks or parquet bars, a dehumidifier will safeguard your furniture, drapes, wall paneling, work tools, etc., from excessive dampness and make your basement living areas a cool, pleasant place on warm days. During late fall, winter and early spring we strongly recommend the use of a humidifier system. As well as protecting your health, a humidifier system will also provide the moisture in the air to avoid the shrinking (cracks between planks or parquet bars) in you wood floors. |
