Atlanta Hardwood Flooring Recommends Installing Hardwood Floors in Winter

Atlanta Hardwood Flooring explains the advantage of installing hardwood flooring in Atlanta during the dry winter months.

2012-03-29

ATLANTA, GA, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) It may come as a surprise to some, but the experts at Atlanta Hardwood Flooring often recommend installing hardwood floors in Atlanta during the winter. This is not to say that hardwood floors cannot be correctly and successfully installed during the summer months, but the cool dry atmosphere of winter has its advantages.

Hardwood flooring is a natural product, and just like the trees that it comes from, it is affected by moisture. Humid summers and dry, cold spells in the winter create a need for Atlanta hardwood flooring contractors to know what they are doing and plan for the expansion and contraction of wood flooring in Atlanta.

For example, hardwood flooring in Atlanta that is installed during the summer requires acclimation and should be delivered and left in the space where it will be installed at minimum one day in advance. By allowing the hardwood flooring to acclimate, it is less likely that the hardwood flooring is going to expand or contract as much after installation. In the winter, when the humidity is lower, hardwood flooring will be in a slightly more contracted state, which will reduce the risk of gaps forming between the planks after installation.

PJ Hart, owner of Atlanta Hardwood Flooring, states, "There is no reason that hardwood flooring cannot be installed during the summer in Atlanta with beautiful results. It just requires an installer with the experience to account for any changes the wood may make after install. In the winter, there is not as great a need for this adjustment."

This is good news for those that might have been thinking that they needed to wait for warmer weather to install hardwood flooring in Atlanta. Winter or early spring is a great time to install those new hardwood floors, but no matter the time of year it is important to hire an experienced flooring contractor that will account for all the variables.

Penn researchers call for a re-examination of transplant waitlist prioritization

2012-03-29

PHILADELPHIA – Patients with end-stage liver disease complicated by the most common type of liver cancer – hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) – are less likely to die or become too sick for a transplant while waiting for a new liver than those with other complications of end-stage liver disease, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Consumers misunderstand 'cruelty-free' labeled products, MU, Oregon researchers find

2012-03-29

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Based on a recent study, University of Missouri and Oregon researchers believe a legal definition for what constitutes "cruelty-free" labeled products should be determined and manufacturers should be required to abide by the legal use of the label. Many consumers intentionally buy products manufactured in ways that do not exploit child labor or cause minimal harm to animals or the environment. Many businesses, such as shampoo, cosmetic, fragrance and pharmaceutical companies, use the term cruelty-free to attract buyers, giving consumers the impression that ...

Study finds paramedics skilled in identifying strokes

2012-03-29

MAYWOOD, Ill. - If a paramedic suspects a patient is having a stroke, the paramedic is probably right, a Loyola University Medical Center study has found. Researchers examined the records of 5,300 patients who were brought to Loyola's emergency room by emergency medical services (EMS). Paramedics were able to identify stroke patients with a 99.3 percent specificity. (In diagnosing disease, a high specificity rate indicates there's a high probability the patient actually has the disease.) "If a paramedic thinks a patient is having a stroke, that should be a reliable indicator ...

Stopping a moving target: Novel compound halts brain tumor spread, improves treatment in animals

2012-03-29

Researchers from Emory and the Georgia Institute of Technology have designed a new treatment approach that appears to halt the spread of cancer cells into normal brain tissue in animal models. Treating invasive brain tumors with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation has improved clinical outcomes, but few patients survive longer than two years after diagnosis. The effectiveness of treatment is limited by the tumor's aggressive invasion of healthy brain tissue, which restricts chemotherapy access to the cancer cells and complicates surgical removal of the tumor. The ...
