Protecting Your Floors
During Winter Dryness

Humidity Control & Seasonal Maintenance Guide

As autumn and winter approach, low humidity levels can affect not only your skin but also the structural integrity of your flooring. At **Ventoce**, we believe proactive maintenance is the key to ensuring long-term aesthetic and functional performance.

Solid Wood Flooring

Solid wood is sensitive to climate changes. Ideally, maintain a temperature below 28°C and humidity between 50%—70%.

During dry winters, minimize window opening times and use a humidifier to prevent excessive shrinkage and gaps.

Pro Tip: Applying solid wax can significantly reduce gap expansion caused by water loss.

Engineered Flooring

Ventoce engineered solutions are more stable but still require care. Avoid acidic or alkaline solvents; use pH-neutral cleaners.

In winter, ensure proper ventilation after cleaning to let the floor dry quickly. Avoid long-term direct sunlight to prevent UV-induced cracking.

Expert Tip: A thin layer of solid wax before peak winter helps seal the surface against dryness.

Laminate & Underfloor Heating

For underfloor heating environments, temperature changes should be gradual. Surface temperatures should not exceed 30°C.

If micro-cracks appear due to extreme dryness, consult professionals for localized filler treatment to restore the surface.

Warning: Avoid placing high-heat electric heaters directly on the floor surface.

The Ventoce Stability Advantage

While traditional wood requires rigorous seasonal care, **Ventoce SPC Flooring** offers a superior alternative. Engineered with a high-density stone-polymer core, our SPC products exhibit near-zero dimensional change in dry winter conditions. No gaps, no warping, and no waxing required—just pure, sustainable performance all year round.
