Kentucky's climate, characterized by humid summers and cold winters, presents a distinct set of environmental factors that influence flooring material performance and installation. The significant temperature and humidity fluctuations throughout the year can cause materials like solid hardwood to expand and contract, potentially leading to warping or gapping if not properly acclimated and installed. Subfloor preparation is therefore a critical step, ensuring the underlying structure is stable, level, and free from moisture, particularly in the diverse housing stock prevalent in Louisville/Jefferson County, which includes historic properties and newer constructions.
