Why Moisture Is the Biggest Flooring Factor in Dayton
Maryland has a humid subtropical climate with average humidity around 70% and about 44 inches of precipitation per year. That level of ambient moisture rules out certain flooring choices and makes installation method and subfloor prep more important than in drier climates. Solid hardwood expands and contracts with humidity swings and is a poor fit for below-grade spaces or rooms without consistent climate control. Engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and porcelain tile all handle Maryland's conditions better. Any flooring over a concrete slab in Dayton should include a proper moisture barrier.Flooring Types and Services Available in Dayton
