Everyone loves hardwood flooring, it has a nice look- and completes any room. However, exposure to sunlight from a window or door can speed up the oxidation and the aging of your hardwood flooring, and take away the original beauty. Before ripping up the entire floor, look to see if the damage is confined to just a board or two. Removing the finish and looking at the bare wood will help determine how bad the damage truly is.
One of the biggest concerns when remodeling wood projects in the home is humidity. So how can we protect wood from humidity?
Excessive moisture in the air (humidity) ruins the beautiful and natural look of wood. If you live in a predominantly humid climate, there is no need to worry. All it takes is just a little bit of planning to make sure humidity doesn’t sweep in and destroy those wood projects you have spent so much time working on. Condensation on the glass of windows, for example, can cause moisture damage to wood window frames.
