• Dry Climate Condition: A humidifier is recommended to maintain humidity levels. Wood stoves and electric
heat tend to create very dry conditions during the winter months this also will cause shrinkage in flooring.
Resulting in gapping.
• Humid, Wet Climate Condition: By using an air conditioner, heater, or dehumidifier proper humidity levels can
be maintained to prevent excessive expansion due to high moisture content. Expansion may cause buckling or
edge peaking.
• Once shrinkage or expansion has taken place, the floor will not appear as it was initially installed. This is not a
manufacturing defect.
FLOOR REPAIR:
• Very light and small surface scratches can be repaired with a staining “touch up” pen of the appropriate color.
• Slightly deeper scratches can be repaired by means of colored putty and or stains. Fill the scratches with the
putty. Level with putty knife. Wipe off excess putty.
• Very deep scratches may require the replacement of the planks.
