Humid air is arguably one of the most unfavorable climates to be in, whether it’s hot or cold. Similarly to you, your floors hate it too -- it can lead to cracks, splitting, and separation of your wood from other planks on the floor. Not only does this look unappealing, but it can also lead to painful injuries if you’re walking barefoot across it. Fortunately, there are a ton of ways to regulate the humidity in your home for yourself, and your floor!
Dehumidifiers. These nifty little additions can be your best friend if you’re dealing with high humidity in your home. Designed to rid your home of the moisture, they are available in whole-home units, as well as smaller units that can be placed in separate rooms.
Humidifiers. On the flip side, too little humidity isn’t great either. It leads to dry air, which isn’t pleasant. Humidifiers are available in many options, ranging from small to big units. These help maintain moisture levels in your home as best as possible, without overdoing it.
Household activity. Instead of showering with the window closed, open it, and allow the moisture in the air to escape. Likewise with your laundry, try to open windows in the area in which the laundry is running, and make sure that the exhaust fan is properly functioning. This includes removing any lint that may be blocking the moisture from escaping.
Whatever the culprit is, it’s important to know how to rid your home of, or increase the amount of humidity before installing wood flooring. For any other questions, you can contact Hall Flooring, CT and NY’s premium flooring distributor!
