tend to involve tools and machinery that may cause scratches to the wood.<\/p><p>However, if it\u2019s unavoidable for other works to take place after the floor is in, contractors should make sure to provide protection for the floor to avoid any dents or damage.<\/p><p><strong>Make sure the floor is dry enough<\/strong><\/p><p>If it wasn\u2019t already obvious, water and wood do not get along. So much so that there are specific measurements of moisture that our coordinators look out for before they okay a floor installation. Using a specialised meter, they ensure that the moisture level in the cement sub-floor is not more than 6%.<\/p><p>Should the moisture exceed this level, it can cause the wood to be \u201cwavy\u201d or buckle when installed.<\/p><p><strong>Ensure that site is clear and clean<\/strong><\/p><p>You\u2019ll want to minimise the risks of any debris or construction materials falling onto and ruining your floor.
