Abstract: This technical analysis examines environmental factors’ impact on floor stability and offers mitigation strategies.
Key Points:
- Wood expands by 1% for every 4% increase in humidity.
- Synthetic floors withstand temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
- HVAC systems must maintain 50% RH ± 10% for optimal performance.
