Wood trim and Millwork

WOOD TRIM (PAINTED OR STAINED)

Depending on temperature and humidity, expansion and contraction in wood trim is normal. Millwork is more vulnerable to shrinkage during the heating season and cooling season when air conditioners are used. Proper humidity levels must be maintained. Maintaining a moderate and stable temperature also minimizes the effects of shrinkage.

The relative humidity in your home should remain between 30-60 %
