Hard Wood Floors |
 |
|
Hard wood floors can be easily installed anywhere in your home. When installing hard wood floors on a concrete slab in a basement or crawl space, it's important to test for moisture content. New concrete is heavy with moisture, which can affect the lifespan and quality of hard wood floors. When installing hard wood floors it's important to test all concrete slabs for moisture. Slabs younger than 60-days are generally still too wet to install wood floors.
