CAN WE PREVENT A FLOOR FROM GAPING OR CUPPING?
Wood acclimation and installation are the two most important things to ensure your floor lasts a lifetime. Cupping tends to occur when you mix moisture with large wide boards. Gaping in solid wood floors cannot totally stopped. Wood tends to expand and contract with seasonal changes in humidity.
Using a humidifier during heating months can reduce the amount of gaping in solid wood floors. Acclimation of the product in the area where it will be installed for a minimum of 7-10 days is strongly recommended Engineered wood floors are generally more stable than solid wood floors and will show less gaps between planks.
