Moisture Content in Timber Floors
The moisture of timber varies with changes in humidity and temperature in the surrounding air. The effect is for timber to swell with the uptake of atmospheric moisture or to shrink with moisture loss. Natural movement that occurs must be accommodated by the installation and finishing processes.
This TECHnote addresses ways to take this movement into consideration when a floor is being installed.
