Living in Huber Heights, we know that winter isn't just about snow; it’s about the salt, sand, and slush that follow it into your home. These abrasive materials can act like sandpaper on your beautiful floors.
At A & B Flooring, we want to help you protect your investment so your floors look just as good in the spring as they do today.
The Power of "Walk-Off" Mats
The simplest way to protect your hardwood or LVP is to stop the grit at the door. We recommend a "two-mat system": one heavy-duty scraper mat outside and a moisture-absorbent rug inside. This catches the magnesium chloride and salt before it ever hits your main flooring.
Avoid the "Wet Boot" Hazard
Even waterproof LVP can be stressed by standing pools of salty slush. The salt can leave a film that dulls the finish of your floor. Encourage a "shoes-off" policy during the winter months, and keep a boot tray near the entry to catch the runoff.
Humidity Monitoring
Our Ohio winters are notoriously dry. If you have solid hardwood, the dry air can cause planks to shrink, leading to gaps. We recommend maintaining your home’s humidity between 35% and 55% to keep your wood floors stable and happy.
Winterproof Your Home with the Right Flooring from A & B Flooring
