He continues to say, “there are a variety of problems that can affect the beauty and life of hard wood floors and once these are isolated they can be handled properly so that the hard wood lasts for years the way it should”. Different types of hard wood floor damage can often times be dealt with through hard wood floor restorations. In this article we want to discuss problems such as what is called, Overwood or Underwood and what is called “Panelization” in order to better educate the homeowners that want to keep their hard wood floors beautiful and long lasting.

What is Overwood or Underwood?
This is the difference in height between floor boards. There can actually be multiple causes that include insufficient sub-floor holding power or an irregular sub-floor altogether. The floor boards may have been incorrectly nailed down or the fasteners may have been wrong to begin with. There might be a tongue fracture. Other types of causes might include the use of incorrect type of adhesive, trowel or the spread rate that was used. There may have been a problem with the manufacturing of the boards. It’s best to have a professional flooring company perform an analysis to identify the correct source or cause of the problem first before attempting any correction. However, the cures for factory-finished flooring, correct the problem and then replace the affected floor boards. For unfinished flooring, correct the problem and then re-sand the floor if necessary.


What is Panelization?
This is a generally un-uniform appearance of gaps in the surfaces of the floor that represents the size of the sub-floor panel beneath it.The cause is excessive movement, shrinkage or expansion of the sub-floor panels. Issues related to the sub-floor must be resolved in any case. Typically this is not the responsibility of the flooring contractor. Once the situation with the sub-floor is resolved, the affected wood boards will need to be replaced. Wood flooring contractors should always check the floor for flatness before beginning an installation, and the party responsible for the sub-floor installation should make necessary repairs prior to installing a new hard wood floor.

“The best way to prevent problems is to always do the research first or seek professional help. Then problems such as the ones described here can be prevented,” says Allman.
