Known for their longevity and beauty, hardwood floors are a popular flooring option in many homes. Unfortunately, while they are durable, they aren’t completely indestructible and need repairs and upkeep from time to time. 

Here are the products you should be stocking for customers to care for and maintain their hardwood floors for many years to come. 

Flooring Nails
When hardwood floor planks come loose they can cause creaks and squeaks, but using a few flooring nails on a loose piece can eliminate unwanted movement. Grip-Rite flooring nails can be used to secure hardwood strip flooring to the subfloor and include a countersinking head for a seamless finish.

Powdered Graphite
Another option for fixing creaks in hardwood floors is by applying a wood-safe powdered graphite in the cracks between the boards. AGS Extra Fine Graphite guards against sticking, wear and corrosion on wood, metal, plastic and rubber. 

Dehumidifier
One of the biggest culprits to wood floors warping is high humidity in a home, which can be remediated with a dehumidifier. Made by Perfect Aire, the 22-Pint ENERGY STAR Dehumidifier With Continuous Drainage has ultra-quiet operation and self-regulates the humidity based on room temperature. 

Floor Wax
Applying a wax made specifically for hardwood floors provides an extra layer of protection and maintains the shine of the floors. Trewax Paste Wax restores luster to hardwood floor finishes and helps protect hardwood floors from scuffs and wear and tear.
