Ive noticed cupping/gapping with the boards in my floor. What is causing this and what can be done to remedy it?
Wood is a hygroscopic material. This means, when wood is exposed to air, it will dry out or pick up moisture until it is in equilibrium with the humidity and temperature in the air. Moisture loss causes the wood to shrink, especially during the winter months. Heritage suggests running a humidifier if your boards are shrinking.
