What Causes Wood Floor Cupping & What To Do

Показать описание

Wood floor cupping can be avoided or fixed by following a few simple steps. If your hardwood floors have a wavy appearance, they are likely cupping due to wet mopping or an underlying moisture problem. The key to fixing a cupped floor is to first quickly identify and rectify the moisture source. If cupping persists, you may have an unusual moisture source. A flooring inspector certified by the NWFA should be able to find hard to identify moisture sources.

There is almost NO help on techniques used to resolve cupping in wood planks. Please delete "Fixing" in the title of this video.

We have a slightly cupped floor. We leave the windows open in the summer. If we sand and refinish the floor will it crown come winter when the humidity goes away?

6 mil plastic in crawl spaces up the wall overlap and tape preferably Rock under it open and close vents depending on season check your downspouts caulk around sliding doors windows but most important of all when installing new make sure test hardwood and floor for proper moisture content and use Mulligan moisture mat if you use wide boards glue assist boards

Long story short, you have a moisture issue. Fix the moisture issue and then you have to wait and see if the planks will uncup on their own. If there is no change after a month or two, you'll either have to sand and refinish or replace the floor.
