More great hardwood flooring ideas, sometimes you have to sacrifice the face width for stability. Stability of being able to pick up ambient changes in the environment humidity and temperature mostly concerning the wood species ability expand and contract without overbearing it past it's point of dimensional origin. A diligent Installer knows what to watch out for while laying a wooden floor and how to alleviate the additional stress caused by this. Know your grains, the best floors have dedicated specified grain designations and are part of international standards such as the NWFA or the MFMA . You probably heard of these Oak species grain patterns rift sawn is edge grain, quarter sawn is vertical grain, Plain sawn is common or flat grain. Each type of grain has its own direction of expansion and contraction besides the length.

Uses three different sawing methods on our premium site finished Hardwood flooring Plain sawn Plain sawn (also called flat sawn) is the most common cut. It produces the maximum yield and therefore costs less. Plain-sawn lumber has varying grain orientations. The grain can run parallel, diagonal or perpendicular to the face of the board. This variation can cause un-even drying which makes the board more likely to warp (cup, twist, and bow). The board will also shrink somewhat in thickness as well as width. A plain sawn floorboard contains more variation than the other two cuts because grain patterns resulting from the growth rings are more obvious. Quarters awn Quarter sawing produces flooring with annual growth rings running almost straight along the face of the board. Quarters awn flooring materials tend to remain flat despite changes in moisture content and are less likely to shrink. Quarter-sawn flooring also has superior ability to hold paints and stains. This process costs more because quarter sawing requires more time and skill to cut and it yields less board footage from each log. Rift sawn Rift sawn is similar to quarters awing, but the cut is made at a slightly different angle.
Project Wood flooring will perform best when the interior environment is controlled to stay within a relative humidity range 30% to 50% and a temperature range 60F to 80F. The chart below indicates the moisture content wood will likely have at any given combination of temperature and humidity. Note that equilibrium moisture contents in the recommended temperature/humidity range (green area) coincide with the 6% to 9% range within which most hardwood flooring is manufactured. Although some movement can be expected even between 6% and 9%, wood can expand and shrink dramatically outside that range.
