As you turn your heat on during the cold winter months, the humidity within your home tends to drop. This drop in humidity affects hardwood flooring, potentially causing gaps between planks. And although this phenomenon is normal, there are several ways to minimize floor gapping.
Some Methods That Minimize Floor Gapping
- Installing engineered hardwood flooring
- Installing narrower floorboards
- Reducing ventilation
- Use a humidifier
