Installing Wood Floors During Winter Weather


It is already halfway into the third week of the new year, and this is an extremely busy time of the year. Kids are finally back in school, work is in full swing again and it seems as if time is flying. While there are many things that may be capturing your attention right now, at Majestic Floors Inc., we believe that there is one thing that should be on your mind: wood floors in Rochelle Park, NJ.

Yes, it is the dead of winter, and there are hundreds of rumors that circulate about installing wood floors at this time of the year. Many people warn against re-doing wood floors during the winter, but our professionals think it is a great time to install them. We are a fully-licensed and insured company that has had years of experience with wood floors in Rochelle Park, NJ.

When installing wood floors, humidity is a factor that must be taken into consideration. While many say that drier air is easier to install wood floors in, that is not always the case. Moisture from humid air can be trapped under floorboards, causing them to buckle. This can be avoided during the colder months of the year.

Another reason that re-doing floors in the winter is ideal because floorboards expand in the heat. If
wood floors are installed in the summer, the boards will shrink in the winter and there will be many gaps surrounding the boards. By installing wood floors in Rochelle Park, NJ in the winter instead, you can plan for the wood to expand and leave room for the boards to grow in the summer months.
