Homeowners have noticed cracks appear in their wood flooring every year, usually during the winter months. They wonder why it is happening and assume something must be wrong. However, that is not necessarily the case. Wood flooring will expand and shrink depending on moisture levels, so knowing how to care for your hardwood floors thru different seasons is beneficial.
What Are Floor Mouldings
Mouldings are an important aspect of your flooring project. Although they don’t necessarily affect floor installation, they will definitely affect the look of the finished room.
Whether you are doing a new flooring installation, or just replacing some damaged pieces you have, the position of the room will determine which mouldings you will need. For example, a bathroom is installed on top of a wet area (in some cases), so there’s no worry about moisture causing any problems for your wood.
However, if your room is in a secluded spot in your homes like an office or bedroom, you might need to take extra precautions to guarantee the health and longevity of your hardwood flooring.
