Choose the suitable species

Hardwood comes in different species for different climates. Not all wood species are suitable for a dry environment, so you have to install a wood floor that goes well with a dry climate.

Engineered Hardwood and Solid Hardwood

It is essential to note that engineered hardwood contains layers of both hardwood and plywood. It works great for hard surface flooring and many types of rooms. It is surfaced with the multi-layers of wood to grip your floors flawlessly. Another benefit of engineered hardwood is its reliability in producing floorings beneath the ground. In short, this hardwood offers a sturdy and durable performance for a humid and dry region.

Solid Hardwood is a great option if you are looking for a homogenous construction at your place. It gives out a long-lasting effect for your hard surface floors. You won’t be disappointed with this hardwood’s strong execution in protecting your floors at all costs. Additionally, solid hardwood is known for its long-lasting and low-maintenance factor. You can use it in dry climate since it provides better air quality with its maple and walnut hardwood species.

Moisture problems

If you live in a dry region and your hardwood floor is moistening, you should immediately look for ways to prevent it. Moistening can affect your wood to a large degree by tearing the surface on it. Here are quick and effective ways to get rid of moisture at the earliest:

Ensure there is no liquid on your floor: In case you don’t know, water acts as a big enemy for woods. It has the potential to wear and break the essence of your wood which can lead to several damages. Ensure that you don’t leave a single liquid on the floor while mopping or cleaning the hardwood floor.

Dry the wet items: Remove any wet items sinking inside the floor and leave them to dry under the sun or heat. Having wet carpets or appliances can add moisture to your hardwood floor, so make sure to remove it at the earliest.
