Fall is a great time to get some new wood floors installed. Partner with Jason Brown Wood Floors for your professional hardwood floor installation! Here are some suggestions for how to make the most of your wood floors.
Choosing the Wood
When you want the best wood floors, you first need to think about the type wood you want. After all, there are many different species of trees used to create hardwood flooring. Some are softer than others, and while some are all natural, others are engineered to achieve the durability you’re looking for. Wood floors that aren’t hard enough are more likely to be damaged by dust, dirt, and moisture.
Adding Sealant
One way to protect your investment in wood floors is to add the right sealant. Sealing your wood floors is the best method for keeping them safe from damage due to the climate you live in. And even though fall is in full swing and winter is on the way, parts of Maryland can still be pretty humid.
Dealing with Humidity
Humidity is the natural enemy of your wood floors. It doesn’t matter what type of wood you use. Although you want to minimize the amount of humidity in your home to prevent moisture damage, you also can’t risk making your home too dry. If that happens, your beautiful wood floors could start to peel and crack.
Protecting the Floor
Protecting your wood floor means doing more than keeping dust and crumbs off of it. Your pets can also ruin your floors if you aren’t paying attention. You can choose a finish for your floors that will help hide any signs of damage caused by your pets.
