Solid Wood Furniture Highs And Lows
May 10th, 2009
Aside from the life they bring to your living space, do you know that solid wood furniture have a life of their own? They actually respond to humidity and temperature changes. When it gets too hot, they shrink slightly with their grains parting and causing a few tiny holes to appear. If the temperature’s too low, they tend to expand and stick. When temperature normalizes, they correct themselves. This reaction has something to do with the moisture level to which these woods are exposed. Aside from regularly waxing your solid wood furniture, keeping them away from temperature extremes could also boost their longevity.
