Hardwood Floor Protection
Protect the Wood Floors in Your Home
Humidity control problems can damage your home's hardwood floors. Wood is hygroscopic meaning it reacts to the relative humidity of its surrounding environment to find equilibrium. As your home's relative humidity fluctuates, your home's hardwood floors can both expand and contract.
In dry air, your hardwood floor can split and crack since the air is sucking moisture from the material. If your skin is dry, your home's hardwood floors likely are too.
In high humidity, your hardwood floors are prone to rot and warpage. In this instance, the wood is removing the moisture from the air. Over time, the moisture will continue to build causing your hardwood floors to shift.
According to HomeAdvisor, an online referral repair company, the average cost of repairing wood floors is $1,010, or $2-$25 per sq. ft.
To avoid costly repairs, speak with your AprilAire Healthy Air Professional to determine which AprilAire humidity control solutions may be right for your home.
How AprilAire Can Help Protect Hardwood Floors
Balancing your home's humidity is a crucial step to protecting your home's hardwood floors and AprilAire has been there since the beginning by introducing the first whole-home humidifier in 1954. Since then, we've expanded our line of residential humidity control products to include whole-house dehumidifiers.
AprilAire has a whole-house humidifier designed to deliver optimal humidity. Each humidifier comes outfitted with digital controls for simple and convenient control. You can even control the humidifier from your Healthy Air App. The app will even send you alerts about replacing your water panel to keep your humidifier running efficiently.
AprilAire Dehumidifiers (Models E080, E100, and E130) are recognized as ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient 2024, setting the standard for high-capacity humidity control and energy efficiency.
