Why do gaps appear in my timber floor during summer?
From a professional specification perspective:
As air relative humidity decreases in hot weather, moisture releases from timber, boards shrink, and gaps appear. In Perth during December-January, external morning humidity averages 40% which brings timber moisture content to around 7.5%. FSA Network floor sanders explain that seasonal gapping in hot dry weather is normal behaviour for timber floors.
