Maintaining proper moisture levels is crucial for the longevity of hardwood floors. Moisture Mapping is a non-invasive technique used to determine the moisture content of a hardwood floor, ensuring its stability and preventing damage.
The acceptable moisture range for hardwood floors varies depending on several factors, including the species of wood, the location, and the season.
Generally, the following moisture levels are considered acceptable for hardwood floors:
Moisture levels exceeding these ranges can lead to several issues, such as cupping, buckling, or even mold growth.
