Use and Care Manual

• Exposure to the sun and its UV rays accelerates the oxidation and aging of
wood. This can cause the stain and/or wood to fade and/or to change color. We
recommend that you rearrange rugs and furniture periodically so the floor ages
evenly.
• Exotic species such as Brazilian Cherry are more susceptible to color change
during the aging process. These warranties do not cover damage from the sun
and its UV rays.
• Use area rugs in high traffic areas and pivot points (e.g., stair landings, room
entries, etc.), especially if you have a large family or indoor pets.
• Maintain the proper Relative Humidity in your home between 35% -55%. The use
of a humidifier during heating seasons may help reduce shrinkage of the wood
due to low humidity.
