Flooring That Will Last a Lifetime
Anyone that enjoys DIY projects will enjoy installing your own floor.
From hardwood, bamboo, laminate, cork to tile flooring, they are easy to install, and can save tons of money.
Believe it or not, where you live can play a huge role in how the materials adjust to the environment.
Humidity fluctuates dramatically in some places, while other areas are not affected at all.
For example, the desert southwest tends to have very low levels, while coastal regions have higher levels throughout the year.
The north gets a little of both with humid summers and dry winters.
Knowing how different materials react to weather conditions, can affect the type you choose dramatically.
Many different wood floors absorb or release moisture to make it equal with the environment.
Because wood is fibrous, saturation occurs when moisture reaches a certain percentage.
As humidity decreases, the wood releases moisture and once it reaches below the saturation point the wood will shrink.
In contrast, if the humidity increases, the wood will absorb moisture causing it to swell.
Understanding what level of humidity to maintain is recommended by each manufacture to help provide you the best results possible.
Bamboo has increased in popularity over the years and makes an excellent choice of floor.
Although it is actually considered a grass, it is affected by moisture and proper humidity levels must be maintained for proper stability.
Laminate flooring may be one of the most affordable and versatile floors used in today's market.
Although it may be considered plastic it is still constructed with a wood core or base.
It requires the same knowledge and care as real wood or bamboo.
Bruce flooring has taken technology to new heights by not only creating the warmth and feel of natural wood, but also providing thermo-fused backing that creates a moisture barrier.
This takes the worry out of humidity levels, and protects both the sub- floor and the laminate itself.
This provides a much easier way to protect the integrity of the floor.
If you are going to spend time and money on beautiful new flooring, you will want to keep it looking great and in good shape for many years to come.
In order to insure warranty coverage and maintain the integrity of your floor, follow the instructions and choose well known products.
They will stand behind their product, allowing you need to enjoy the product for many years to come.
