National Wood Floor Consultants specialize in providing answers and solutions for numerous floor covering related problems. We are able to provide answers to your questions due to our specialized education and training. A certified wood floor inspector must meet stringent requirements, which include industry experience, participating in a required training program and passing a rigorous testing.

                         Does Your Floor Look Like This

National Wood Floor Consultants has developed several calculators to aid in projections of gapping, crowning, cupping, room expansion and more.  These calculators are important tools to customer service managers, technical support, distributors and flooring contractors.  Many times wood flooring is installed under adverse conditions, now we can project the results and recommend corrective actions.

Claims managers can enter just a few jobsite values and walk
the end-user through their problem without ever leaving their
office.  As shown by sample calculator the gap is just under the size of a quarter and re-hydrating the wood floor by increasing the Rh to 38% will solve this problem.

“The key to a successful floor is education to our architects, builders, floor sales staff, installers and homeowners.  Remember, we can’t change wood science, however, we can provide the best possible environment for which it is to be used.”
