Does Hardwood Floor Really Expand in Summer and Contract in Winter?

Shown: Anderson Flooring, Bryson Strip Collection, Color: Gunstock, 3.25 width shown

Seasonal changes bring temperature changes and believe it or not, it can affect your hardwood flooring.  The changes in weather can create expansion and contraction of wood, but that’s perfectly normal. Wood is a natural constituent that seeks to conform to its surroundings.

Hardwoods that are created for use in home decorating are carefully manufactured with the above in mind.  It’s perfectly normal for hardwood to take on or give off moisture with fluctuation in relative humidity.

Here’s how it works:  Hardwoods that are solid will expand in exceptionally warm and humid air when moisture from the humidity is absorbed. Similarly, when the air is significantly cooler and drier, the wood will release moisture and contract.

This process is completely natural. Hardwood manufacturers design their products to accommodate these changes.
