INSTALLERS – ADVISE YOUR CUSTOMER OF THE FOLLOWING
Seasons: Heating and Non-heating
Recognizing that hardwood floor dimensions will be slightly affected by varying levels of humidity within your building, care
should be taken to control humidity levels within the 35-55% range. To protect your investment and to assure that your floors
provide lasting satisfaction, we have provided our recommendations below.
• Heating Season (Dry): A humidifier is recommended to prevent excessive shrinkage in hardwood floors due to low humidity
levels. Wood stoves and electric heat tend to create very dry conditions.
• Non-Heating Season (Humid, Wet): Proper humidity levels can be maintained by use of an air conditioner, dehumidifier, or
by turning on your heating system periodically during the summer months. Avoid excessive exposure to water from tracking
during periods of inclement weather. Do not obstruct in any way the expansion joint around the perimeter of your floor.
NOTE: Final inspection by the end-user should occur from a standing position.
Floor Repair
Minor damage can be repaired with an Armstrong touch-up kit or filler. Major damage will require board replacement, which can
be done by a professional floor installer.
