Tips & Warnings
While too much moisture can be detrimental to wood flooring, the complete lack of moisture may be just as bad. Wood shrinks and expands in accordance to the humidity levels around it, which causes small cracks over time. Without any moisture at all, these small cracks will expand further, resulting in splitting and splintering. If your floors are looking and feeling a bit dry it is important to take action to restore the balance of moisture before irreparable damage is done.
