Check the humidity

The right humidity plays a crucial part in your floor’s lifespan. Warm, humid air can make the wood planks expand, while cold, dry air can make them shrink. Between 40 to 60% is the ideal humidity level. Check your indoor hygrometer regularly, and place a humidifier, air scrubber or dehumidifier if need be.
