There are issues with even the best wood floors. First and far most, wood is bound to scratch than other deck. Different issues range from minor surface harm to serious primary deformities to the most irritating issue wood floors succumb to — squeaks.

​

Surface scuffs and gouges are unavoidable byproducts of daily use and there is no easy way to avoid them. You also cannot avoid issues brought on by expansion and contraction. Wood expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature and humidity because it is a naturally porous and fibrous material. Boards may separate or warp as a result, and nails may become loose.

​

Separations between the joists and the sub-floor can also be caused by a house's natural settling. If your floor is sagging or uneven, a serious structural issue maybe to blame; for this situation, counsel an expert.
