Will certain finishs stop wood flooring from fading and changing color?
No. Certain finishes will reduce the effects of ultraviolet rays but none will fully eliminate UV light. Both the wood and the wood floor finishes will change color. This is a natural aging process. (Back to top) Why is my floor cupped up on the edges? When wood flooring “cups” up at the edges it is because of water has been introduced to the wood after it was installed. This is true whether it has been installed for two days or twenty years ago. The sketch below illustrates the difference between “cupping” and “crowning” and will help explain why “crowning” occurs. With enough time most floors will dry out and in some cases no repairs are required. This of course depends on the volume of water that has been absorbed into the flooring and the length of time that the flooring is exposed to moisture. When floors have absorbed a great volume of water it is best to replace these floors. We recommend that new flooring be replaced when water damage has occurred due to scheduling requirements
