Real Wood Floors

Your hardwood floors do more than enhance your space, they respond to the seasons, too. ☀️

Changes in temperature and humidity throughout the year can cause hardwood flooring to naturally expand and contract. As these subtle shifts occur, homeowners may begin to notice occasional squeaks, especially during seasonal transitions.

👀 What might those squeaks be indicating?

• Indoor humidity levels could be lower than ideal
• Floorboards may be rubbing against one another
• Minor movement in the subfloor could be occurring
• Seasonal flooring maintenance may be needed

The good news? In many cases, seasonal squeaks are completely normal.

To help keep your floors stable, quiet, and beautiful, aim to maintain indoor humidity levels between 35–55%. ✨ Using a humidifier and staying consistent with routine maintenance can help protect your flooring investment for years to come.

If squeaks continue or become more pronounced, it may be a good idea to have a flooring professional evaluate the situation.
