What Florida's climate means for your hardwood
Local conditions change which materials and methods make sense.
- Humidity and mold
Engineered hardwood moves less with humidity than solid. Let the wood acclimate in the house before installation.
- Strong sun and heat
Strong sun fades and ambers wood. UV-protective window film or finishes help preserve color.
- Heavy rain and wet soil
Avoid solid hardwood below grade. Engineered wood with a moisture barrier is the safer choice for basements.
- Timing
Installed year-round; mild-humidity months are easiest for site-finished floors.
