Moisture Mapping: Unveiling Hidden Dynamics

Moisture mapping is a crucial component of hardwood floor maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. It proactively identifies moisture variations within the flooring system, revealing potential risks and guiding informed decision-making.

Acceptable Moisture Levels: The Key to Floor Equilibrium

The acceptable moisture level range for hardwood floors typically falls between 8% and 12%. This range allows for natural moisture fluctuations without causing structural damage or compromising the floor’s stability.

**What is an acceptable moisture reading in a hardwood floor?**

Acceptable moisture readings vary slightly depending on the specific type of hardwood and environmental conditions. However, as a general guideline, moisture readings between 7% and 13% are considered acceptable. Values outside this range may indicate an issue that requires attention.
