Industry and most manufacturers recommend solid wood flooring acclimate on-site for at least three to five days.

Got squeaks? After controlling indoor humidity, try sprinkling baby powder in them (silica talc is a dry lubricant).

The surface of laminate flooring is a photographed image of finished hardwood and cannot be refinished.

Avoid tacky backs on rugs, mats and pads (plasticizers discolor the finish). Use wool or jute or chopped urethane instead.

Always keep a partial box of hardwood flooring from your initial installation for possible future repairs.
