Nothing gets more usage than your floor. Over the years, it’s inevitably going to get some wear and tear. One thing you can do to prevent that from happening is to get the best flooring possible. If you’re looking for high-quality, stylish, yet affordable commercial and residential flooring, look no further than Hawaii Flooring Specialists in Honolulu, HI. They are one of Hawaii's oldest flooring contractors, and they’ve stayed in business as long as they have because of the wide range of flooring options they provide, the skills and expertise of their team, and their local knowledge of woods, the Hawaiian lifestyle, and the Hawaiian climate.

Plenty of damage happens with traffic, but here in Hawaii, the climate can cause just as many issues with flooring. Here are some tips for preventing flooring issues in this tropical climate:

• Wood Choice: Not all woods are affected the same by warm, moist climates. If you choose a tropical wood, like teak, it’s less likely to be warmed by a cold-weather wood, like a pine. When choosing your wood, do some research about which ones are durable and moisture-resistant. The experts at Hawaii Flooring Specialists are happy to help with this decision.
• Acclimatize Wood: Make sure your wood has been acclimatized to your home, climate, and elevation before installation, or else you will be left with warped boards and gaps. Let it sit in the place it is going to be installed so it has time to adjust.
• Try Laminates Or Engineered Wood: Engineered wood is often much less sensitive to moisture changes and wet climates. There have been so many advancements in both laminates and engineered wood lately that there are now some beautiful and beautifully durable products on the market. In many cases, it’s hard to tell the difference.
