Like all organic materials, Wood
has its own character and quirks responding to the environment,
and will change over time. Wood floors should be treated with
understanding and a certain amount of care. For wood flooring
professionals, knowing wood properties, as well as individual
wood flooring species, is critical to proper installation.
For consumers, it's important to have realistic expectations
about how wood flooring products will perform. Knowing the
products species, character & wood properties will help
