General
Care
- Humidity
and Ventilation are critical considerations for your
new wood floor. 40% - 50% relative humidity is normally
required for long, trouble-free life.
- When
Excessive Tightening of the floor becomes noticeable
or when unusually WIDE CRACKS begin to appear call your
flooring contractor IMMEDIATELY.
- Expansion
Joints around the perimeter of your floor, at columns
or inserts should never be blocked or obstructed. They
have been engineered into your floor to permit natural
expansions and contraction from normal humidity changes
without damage to your floor.
(*NOTE: Certain floor systems may be designed to eliminate
expansion joints. Your floor contractor can advise if
your floor is of this type.)
- Anchoring
Bleachers. No
fixtures equipment or bleachers should be lagged through
wood floors into concrete without first cutting wood away
from lag bases and making provision for expansion.
- Steel
Channel Floor Systems are designed to self contain
expansion within the system. No perimeter expansion voids
are necessary. Anchoring of bleachers and equipment through
floor without expansion provision is permitted. This
pertains to steel channel floor systems only.
